OMG what a terrific experience! I always have my insoles made back home. Due to the pandemic I have not been able to travel. I was looking at company and PODO popped up on my search. I was very keen to see that he was doing so much work on cyclists, so I decide to try. Christophe represents among the highest level of customer service I have experienced. Information was accurate, responses to queries were turned around very fasts. Answers were super clear and where necessary detailed enough for me to make my decision. He run so many tests on me and that make me feel that I was in very good hands. He was also explaining the process of it and the reason behind so I could understand better the benefits of wearing them. Also, it really surprised me that he gave me so very good tips on how to get a pair of shoes, so I could improve my daily mobility and he was checking days after about my comfort with the pair of shoes. What I like the most it was not the typical person who is trying to sell you something but more about identify your personal needs and adapt to it. Now PODO has also a discount rate for a second pair of insoles so I could not miss the opportunity and get a second pair. I totally recommend his service at all levels. If you have difficulties when walking, he can definitely assess you and advise accordingly. ASSESSMENT is a personalized and free consultation 😊

Been to see Christophe a few times now. Firstly for my first consultation to get me comfortable on the bike again. His amazing custom made insoles did exactly that! The again to make very slight adjustments and for advice on how to manage a long term issue which we only discovered because of his closes links with excellent physios and consultants! Definitely my go to for anything foot related!

I was a previous customer of Foot Factor and was really disappointed to see Christophe had left but so pleased I found him with his own setup. Christophe had previously sorted out my flat footed hypermobile body with custom made orthotics! I used to suffer from many injuries such as tight calves/hamstrings but they literally all went away. Even my stiff neck has gone. I'm not exaggerating and I rarely write reviews but having orthotics is really life changing since my stiff neck used to cause regular migraines. Today I had a new pair of running orthotics made and Christophe kindly gave my old pair a new lease of life to use in my cycling shoes. Christophe really is an expert in his field and super easy to talk to. Thanks and all the best.

R. S.

I learnt so much from the consultation and trusted in Christophe’s knowledge that having the orthotics made was a no brainer - really swift process and everything was so well explained throughout. Thanks for helping me run the London Marathon free from any foot issues!

Only have positive things to say about Christophe's work. He made sure my insoles were perfect, modifying them during a second appointment (without extra charge) and took his time both appointments to listen to my issues and look at my posture etc. Felt very well taken care of and Christophe has been nothing but friendly and professional. Couldn't recommend more!

D. S.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that Christophe changed my life. I came to him after spending a year unable to walk for more than 30 minutes because of terrible foot pain. A few weeks after wearing the orthotics he made me, the pain in my foot basically disappeared. I can walk for miles now with no problem. More recently, after spending most of my adult life regularly injuring my hip after short runs, I was fitted for orthotics for running, and with them I can run comfortably for miles. Christophe is not just an expert but a truly talented professional and leader in his field. I highly recommend his practice.

I went to see Christophe due to the pain in my knee when running and the serious blisters I was getting during football training on 4g. His knowledge of biomechanics and podiatry is excellent, but I was most impressed with his enthusiasm and genuine passion to help treat my aches & pains! Although I visited a number of times, as we made small, incremental changes to my football orthotics - he was always enthusiastic and listened carefully to my feedback before making small adjustments. My knee pain during running has since disappeared and the blisters have massively reduced. Thanks Christophe! Thanks Christophe I

Christophe is a lovely, caring man who has been helping me with my foot pain for many years now. I am hypermobile and very active and he has provided me with an excellent custom made service each time to get rid of my foot pain. He will listen to your needs and makes you very comfortable when you go to see him. I could not recommend him enough.

G. S.

Christophe is a real professional with a deep knowledge of his subject and an accessible way of explaining what he knows. He is quick and efficient, listens carefully, and crafts his products with attention to detail. The insoles he created for me have survived a year of intensive use with no apparent wear and tear, and I will definitely return to him for my next pair.

Christophe and his team do not disappoint yet again! At PODO I got provided with a great service - starting with the tailored feet assessment where I was shown and explained all the relevant topics; to the fantastic open space workshop where you can follow all the steps of building my orthotics while waiting comfortably. I’m very happy with the service provided at PODO and will definitely keep using them to follow and assess my sports performance!

K. J.

I currently run an Osteopathy clinic in London and having met Christophe and received an assessment and custom orthotics from the man himself and PODO - I cannot recommend him more. He is a complete expert in his game and incredibly keen, driven and motivating. You can see and feel how enthusiastic he is about your progress! I learnt a ton about my feet and how they affected my back and knee pains and posture. I felt improvements straight away by wearing the orthotics he made me and as a result I now recommend all my clients go to this man for their foot requirements. Great work Christophe.

I was suffering from foot pain and back pain during my trip in London because I have a club foot. Then I decided to book for a consultation with the best podiatrist in London based on Google maps reviews. Mr Christophe is very passionate and knowledgeable in what he's doing. Today with my new insoles, I can walk miles without pain. I'll definitely consider his clinic next time! Highly recommended! Thank you very much Christophe!

J. G.

Christophe's orthotics have changed my son's life. His feet were always so painful doing any activity and now he can take part in sport, work on his feet for long days, etc. We are very happy with them.

J. C.

I cannot emphasise enough how good Christophe is and the orthotics that he made me have been life changing. I have rheumatoid arthritis and also very mobile feet and these have resulted in pain in the ball of one of my feet and Achilles tendonitis. I was at the end of my tether when I went to Christophe and I was struggling to walk any decent distance without pain and my Achilles being impacted. Christophe paid a huge amount of care and attention to understanding and assessing my issues and made me a brilliant pair of orthotics all within one appointment. I noticed the difference from day 1 of wearing them. They took a few weeks to get used to, but, a few months down the line I am now able to walk good distances pain free and am at the stage where my Achilles swelling has gone right down. I cannot recommend this service enough! Thank you Christophe!

B.

I can’t recommend Christophe’s orthotics and his expertise enough! I never fully recovered from a knee injury a few years back and Christophe recommended he check my posture, gate and confirm how my foot was striking the floor. Sure enough, my foot striking the floor was not hitting properly. He designed the best insoles for my everyday shoe and I now don’t experience the knee pain I once had. Thank You and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Christophe is a specialist in custom made orthotics. With his knowledge and experience and the latest in technology, he is able to analyse the gradients and curvature of the sole of the foot and provide appropriate orthotics. As a sports medicine doctor, I often refer patients to Christophe for orthotics. I’ve only had positive experiences from him and highly recommend him

C. S.

Highly professional creation of personalised orthotic insoles. I visited Christophe nine months ago with intensely painful plantar fasciitis. Since then, I have certainly been enjoying the benefits of my orthotics –eg last week I hiked four major mountain routes in the Lake District totalling 70km and 4500m vertical with no pain at the end of each day! Caramba!

E. W.

Christophe is a fantastic podiatrist! He’s so knowledgable and passionate about his field. I have had a couple of pairs of orthotics from him, initially for training and then more for everyday as they made a huge difference to me. I will definitely be a lifelong customer as I couldn’t imagine not using his orthotics now!

I have had flat feet (collapsed arches) my whole life and I never really addressed the issue till recently. I never knew that your feet could have such a dramatic effect on your posture, and how not taking good care of them could lead to me having problems later in life with my lower back etc. Being a competitive bodybuilder and after having trained weights for a decade religiously without orthotics, I was adding insult to injury, due to not using the correct muscles while training which led to several problems. I was experiencing unbelievable pain throughout the years in my knees, hips and lower back and I never knew why. It got to the point where I could not even sit down for more than 15seconds before my knees started hurting and I had to stand up again. It even got to the point where I tore my left hamstring twice while training legs because of my flat feet (who knew right?) I approached Christophe in September 2020. The man is a genius. He goes the extra mile explaining how the body works. Since he designed my orthotics, I have found that I have much better stability when training (and simply walking) , and more importantly I can finally sit down without my knees feel like they’re going to explode. The effectiveness of these were proven when I tried to do a bodyweight squat immediately after wearing them in Christophe’s office, the pain miraculously disappeared due to using the correct muscles. The investment is seriously worth it. Christophe designs them from scratch using numerous machines and are designed specifically for YOUR feet which is the most important thing. I urge you to contact Christophe if you have any issues with your posture or experience any joint pain. He is so knowledgeable and from pictures he will tell you what the issue is.

The service you will receive at Podo is second to none. Christophe created some orthotics for me last summer and actually managed to fit me in for a check up in short notice today despite the fact he was moving house and that it was a Sunday!! I rarely come to London and travel a long way just for Podo, so was extremely grateful that he could and would. What a legend. He’s an absolute genius and is a true expert in his field of Podiatry and Biomechanics! You’ll struggle to find anyone more motivated and enthusiastic about their profession than this fella! However natural talent aside... his effort, energy and attentiveness are second to none. He has the rare ability to solve science through art. You’ll see this when you work with him as he really understandings the overall mechanics of the body and solves your issues with delicate crafting of various specialist materials. So whatever you do, if you have any issues, give Podo a call! Christophe is amazing and they now how a very beautiful, swanky office for you to enjoy being in!

Fantastic for 13 years and through 4 Marathons the hip pain free 😁😘

M.

Fantastic service and craftsmanship from Christophe. A very personal and thorough review, and his orthotics have subsequently fixed my running issues, so thank you!

D. W.

Christophe delivers a personalise service of the highest order. An unhurried examination of my feet, using sophisticated equipment and judgement borne of great experience, was followed by the crafting of a pair of orthotic insoles while I waited, with coffee supplied! I have used the orthotics for a month in my running shoes and, whilst I haven't re-started any running, to give my knees and feet time to recover, I have had absolutely no knee or foot pain since I started using the orthotics. I am hoping to persuade my grandson, a sports fanatic, to consult Christophe, since he frequently complains of leg and foot aches after his sporting activities. That is a work in progress! Hopefully, the description of my experience will help to persuade others. Diana Walford

H. T.

Excellent service, everything Podo produce is completely bespoke. Christophe’s knowledge is extensive and its well worth the trip! Will not be disappointed. Happy cycling for another 50,000km again 💪

J. G.

My second appointment with Christophe who once again sorted out my feet so that I can walk in comfort! A great service thank you.

D. Z.

I love my new orthotics! I had been using the same pair of orthotics for 6 years and was frequently experiencing IT band pain. I have been running numerous times since getting my new pair and have been pain free.

A. M.

Great podiatrist, humble, honest, passionate and excellent at what he does. As a foot and ankle surgeon I frequently refer patients to him and get great results. Highly recommend.

M. H.

I saw Christophe a couple of times for some orthotic needs. Outstanding service and quality. The best in London, as far as I can see.

C. C.

Christophe is very professional and has a strong passion for helping people. I would recommend his services to anyone looking to solve their foot problems.

V. T.

Outstanding Service, I would recommend his service to my friend.

G. L.

Guidance and support throughout the years with all my feet issues! Thank you!

D. C.

Very comfortable insoles adapted to pathologies. Miles traveled without any discomfort. A true competent professional. Thank you very much Christophe

E. C.

As a keen runner and general outdoor enthusiast I saw Christophe as recommended by a friend, having experienced ongoing 'niggles'. Christophe's knowledge is very impressive. He effectively assessed my problems and found solutions that not only make me a better athlete, but will also prevent future injuries. Following an in-depth assessment, I went home equipped with a full host of knowledge and well fitted insoles that have directly impacted on my performance as an athlete. Thank you Christophe.

B.

I went to see Christophe following a recommendation and it was the best thing I could have done. Christophe is very knowledgeable and experienced. He understands that not everyone fits one type of lifestyle. He is very thorough in his analysis and you get to see him make the insole in front of you. I have seen a massive improvement. It may feel like it's a large expense but I promise you, with Christophe's service and the positive impact you'll have on you - it's 100% worth it!

Z. K.

The insoles have been fairly life changing and I'm very grateful! I have needed to buy wider fitting shoes which has relieved the pressure on the outside of my feet. This pressure relief alongside having the necessary arch support has created a really comfortable and sturdy platform to generate power on the bike! I no longer have to over tighten my shoes to make them fit, which results in no longer having numb feet/toes! Now that my arches aren't collapsing, my knees don't bow inwards and are no longer under unnecessary strain. I can't recommend this service enough to anyone suffering from feet/knee issues, thank you so much again!

M. M.

Christophe, he fixed my shoulder, hip and knee issues within 2hrs. His service is next level and the production is on the spot, instant. 100% worth every penny and more.

J. B.

Christophe is very knowledgeable and very talented. He is very thorough in his analysis and make the insole in front of you. The quality of the insoles are fantastic. As a physiotherapist I often send my patients to him for insoles and they always give me good feedback.

K. V.

I saw Christophe last September because I’d been suffering from knee pain on and off for many years. I heard about orthotics and decided to go for a free consultation. After the assessment it was clear that my feet were the main reason for my knee pain as they were leaning inwards when I walked. I’ve been using my orthotics everyday since and my knee pain is actually gone! I noticed the difference within the first few months. It has also really improved my posture. I would recommend this to anyone who needs it. It’s worth every penny. Christophe is very knowledgable and a really nice person too.

C. M.

Incredibly professional and 5-star service! ⭐️ Christophe is very professional, knowledgeable and detail-oriented. As a regularly runner I went to see Christophe for knee pains. Amazing orthotics and recommendation which quickly showed its results. Located in the heart of London, the access to his clinic was very convenient. I definitely recommend his advice and services. Thanks again!
