Camino Footwear Collection

DOWNLOAD CATALOGUE

The range includes Camino stock and Modular and Made to Measure footwear, plus stock footwear from Fior & Gentz and YDA. Modular footwear is available in a larger style and size range than stock footwear and is made to a trial fit stage as default. Different last sizes are available, and additions can be added to create a Modular shoe for optimal treatment of more complex pathology. All Camino styles in this catalogue can be requested for the production of Made to Measure footwear. However, these are not the limit and other styles can be ordered. The styles that are marked as being ideal for Made to Measure footwear have plain fronts and will allow for some size differences without making it too obvious. For Made to Measure footwear a draft and measurements must be provided, along with a cast, diagrams, and photos as necessary.

A full adaptation service is available for additions such as rocker soles, flares, sockets etc on all types of footwear.

Materials Camino footwear is manufactured from the finest quality materials available.

Calf leather has a fine smooth grain. It is soft but sturdy and is suitable for most default footwear.

Diabetic softee leather is a thinned calf, making it softer and more supple than standard calf. It is not suitable for use with stiffeners and for patients requiring strong sturdy footwear.

Distressed leather is a strong, thicker leather than calf and suitable for the manufacture of more durable footwear. The distressed leather is smooth in appearance.

Sicilana leather is a thick leather but is soft and supple due to the tanning process producing a grained finish.

Strong leather is the strongest and most durable leather in our range and is ideal for moisture resistance.

Nubuck leather has a softer appearance due to the buffed surface but is a robust material with good longevity. It cannot be polished but can be cleaned like suede.

Stretch leather can be used for aprons and side panels on certain styles. It is made from natural leather. Stretch leather cannot be used to manufacture a full vamp or full shoe.

Leather thickness.

Ladies and Gents shoes/boots are manufactured in calf leather, which is 1.4 - 1.6mm thickness. The thickness of Strong Leather, Distressed Leather Val, Nubuck and Siciliana leathers is 1.8 - 2mm. Softee leather is 1.2 - 1.4mm thick.

Please note that the thickness is not the only value that determines the strength of leather; leathers of the same thickness can offer very different properties due to the different tanning processes which break the fibers changing the malleability.

Synthetic upper materials. Neoprene can be used to manufacture the apron on some styles to provide a soft stretchy upper. Ideal for painful deformed toes.

Vegan synthetic leathers meet the standards as set out and certified by Inescop.

Corduroy Uppers are only available on house shoes and will have a fabric lining which will be matched to the colour of the corduroy. Corduroy is a durable cloth textile with a raised parallel cord effect.

Toe Puffs stiffen and retain the toe box shape of the footwear.

Three types of toe puffs are available for Made to Measure and Modular footwear:

1. Standard toe puffs are the default and are used in most footwear types, stiffening a larger part of the toe area at the sides and over the dorsum.
2. Winged toe puffs do not extend over the top of the second, third and fourth toes and are ideal for sensitive feet and clawed toes.
3. Rimmed toe puffs hold the front of the shoe up but do not extend back over the dorsum of the toes or along the sides of the toe box. They should only be used when feet are very sensitive or deformities are irritated by an alternative toe puff.

Heel stiffeners help to maintain the shape and strength at the rear part of the footwear.

A standard heel stiffener covers the medial and lateral sides of the heel and is joined at the back.

Extended heel stiffeners extend along the medial, lateral or both sides of the foot to behind the joint area.

High stiffeners provide additional strength on the medial, lateral or both sides of a boot. As default the height will be to below the collar. Other heights can be specified.

Toe puffs and heel stiffeners are made from a synthetic material as default. The material can be doubled for increased strength.

Custom heel stiffeners and toe puffs can be specified in Made to Measure footwear made from different materials.
