For people that are dependent upon orthopaedic shoes, eg those with diabetes or
rheumatism, it is essential that their shoes are well fitted, that they are
comfortable and functional, as this ensures that they will not cause any problems
such as blisters. Several orthopaedic workshops and the Swedish Trade
Organisation for orthopaedics have called upon The Swedish Handicap Institute
(SHI) to chart the problems with the different systems of shoe sizes, as well as
the problems associated with differences in sizes in the same size system.
Lack of a universal and uniform shoe-size-system creates problems when it comes
to ordering prefabricated orthopaedic footwear. The fit of a shoe is due to many
parameters but the most basic is the length of the shoe. Suppliers of
prefabricated orthopaedic shoes use different length and shoe size systems, which
can lead to errors when ordering shoes. This lack of standardisation creates a
”loose situation” for all involved; the patients, the orthopaedic workshop and the
suppliers.
SHI in cooperation with Code of Practice in Sweden has documented the existing
systems of shoe sizes and the different ways in which to measure a last. The
metric system, Mondopoint, is presented and described as it is the international
standard for shoe sizes as endorsed by ISO 9407:1991. Mondopoint is used by
NATO and the Swedish defence, as well as some manufacturers of ski boots and
is an unambiguous system that is especially functional when ordering
prefabricated orthopaedic footwear.
Based on the information documented by this project, The Swedish Handicap
Institute has composed the recommendations below to remove all possible errors
in the process of ordering orthopaedic footwear:
