Happy Soles – our background
When our son was born with Unilateral Fixed Talipes or Clubfoot, little did we know about this condition or that he would even be born with it, as it was never picked up on any scans. Since his birth our journey, as a family, has been incredible. Undergoing all of the necessary Ponsetti treatment, to look at him now, we would never think that there were any problems with him. Except when it comes to shoe shopping.
Now growing up, and sport mad, high street retailers do not sell shoes in a pair that are of different sizes. Some have been sympathetic to us and offered a small ‘one time discount’ but we have always had to purchase two pairs to get a single pair of shoes that fitted correctly. We, as parents, decided that, we would continue to do this, as correct fitting shoes are a necessity.
This led to the formation of our company in 2015 as we felt that why should we, as parents, and ultimately our son when he gets older, have to settle for this.
