The Footwear Hub has been set up with the following aims:

 

• Promote Foot Health Awareness - To educate the public on foot health, the importance of proper footwear, and the benefits of professional fitting services—ensuring families understand how to care for their feet across all life stages.

• Support Independent Retailers - To unite shoe retailers who offer fitting and measuring services, fostering mutual support, skill sharing, and a commitment to raising standards across the footwear industry.

• Drive Consumer Engagement - To increase public engagement with trusted footwear providers through national campaigns, educational content, and collaborative marketing—raising the profile of members' businesses and services.

• Develop and Fund Campaigns - To use member contributions to plan, fund, and deliver impactful campaigns that encourage consumers to prioritise fitting and foot health when buying footwear.

• Maintain Financial Responsibility - To manage funds transparently, ensuring any surplus not allocated to marketing or campaign work is used to reduce future membership costs.

• Collaborate and Grow - To work with brands, professionals, and relevant organisations (e.g. NHS, NCT, schools) to amplify our message and secure additional support or funding where possible.

• Uphold Membership Standards - To require members to demonstrate a commitment to high-quality fitting services and staff training. Membership may be declined or not renewed if these standards are not upheld.
