A workplace injury can affect your ability to stand, walk, and complete everyday tasks comfortably. Steady Gait Foot Clinic provides assessments, foot care, and a range of orthopedic products for workers with eligible WSIB claims, including orthopedic shoes, orthotics, compression stockings, and lower-limb braces.
Foot Care Support After a Workplace Injury
Foot, ankle, knee, and lower-leg injuries can make it difficult to return to regular work duties. Proper footwear, supportive devices, and professional foot care may help reduce discomfort, improve stability, and support your recovery.
Our team assesses your condition, workplace demands, walking pattern, and support needs before recommending suitable products or services based on your approved WSIB treatment plan.
Comprehensive Foot and Gait Assessments
We evaluate your feet, walking pattern, alignment, mobility, and symptoms to identify the support your recovery may require.
Assistance With WSIB Documentation
Our team can help you understand the documents and product information that may be required for your approved WSIB claim.
Personalized Product Recommendations
Footwear, orthotics, braces, and compression products are selected according to your injury, work duties, comfort, and mobility needs.
Ongoing Fitting and Support
We provide professional fitting, adjustments, and follow-up guidance to help you use your approved products comfortably and correctly.
WSIB-Approved Orthopedic Shoes
Orthopedic shoes are designed to provide additional support, stability, cushioning, and room for the feet. They may be recommended when a workplace injury affects walking, balance, pressure distribution, or the ability to wear standard footwear comfortably.
Our team helps you select properly fitted footwear based on your foot measurements, symptoms, work environment, and any specific requirements included in your WSIB authorization.
Orthopedic Shoes May Help With
- Foot and ankle discomfort
- Reduced walking stability
- Uneven pressure distribution
- Swelling or sensitive areas
- Difficulty wearing regular shoes
- Returning to standing or walking duties
WSIB-Approved Orthotics and Insoles
Orthotics and supportive insoles are placed inside footwear to improve support, redistribute pressure, and address certain mechanical concerns. Depending on your assessment, you may require custom-made orthotics or an appropriate prefabricated insole.
We assess your foot structure, gait, alignment, and work-related symptoms to determine the type of support that may be suitable for your recovery and approved claim.
Orthotics and Insoles May Address
- Heel or arch discomfort
- Foot fatigue
- Uneven weight distribution
- Reduced shock absorption
- Lower-limb alignment concerns
- Discomfort during prolonged standing
WSIB-Approved Foot Care
Workplace injuries, restricted movement, and changes in walking can contribute to pressure areas, skin concerns, nail problems, or difficulty caring for the feet. Professional foot care can help maintain comfort and reduce the risk of additional complications during recovery.
Our foot care services are provided according to each patient’s needs and may form part of an authorized treatment plan when clinically appropriate.
Foot Care Services May Include
- Nail and skin care
- Corn and callus reduction
- Thickened toenail care
- Cracked heel treatment

Healthy Feet Support Healthy Movement.

Appropriate cushioning, compression, and joint support may make walking, standing, and approved exercises more comfortable.
Personalized Fitting
