Healthy Athletes™

Special Olympics Fit Feet is a free podiatric screening for participating Special Olympics athletes evaluating ankles, feet, lower extremity biomechanics, and proper shoe and sock gear.  In partnership with the International Federation of Podiatrists (FIP) and the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine, Fit Feet also provides referrals for those participating Special Olympics that require follow up services.

At a Fit Feet event, athletes are screened by podiatrists and podiatry students and educated on their correct shoe size as well as nail and skin care. In 2010 Dr. Comfort shoes were available to athletes thanks to a generous donation from Dr. Comfort of 200 pairs of shoes.

In 2012 Fit Feet is offered at the Outdoor Sports Tournament in Eau Claire on August 4th.
