Best Clarks Stores Sydney Near Me

4worldlovers: No one needs to struggle with painful feet! Visit our Hornsby showroom where our expertly-trained and caring staff will strive to find the right fit and style for all ages, foot conditions and occasions.

From kids’ growing feet to orthotic friendly, orthopaedic and shoes for people living with plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammer toes or diabetes, we are here to help.

We’re told we should be treading 10,000 steps a day. When you’re spending that much time on your feet, it becomes apparent that comfort is built from the ground up; shoes that help rather than hinder us are crucial. At Forbes Footwear, we place comfort first – and have been doing so for more than 80 years – as no one should be struggling with painful feet or issues stemming from misalignment at ground level. Our selection of comfort shoes span ranges for children, women and men – and while they are designed first and foremost to feel great underfoot, there is no compromise when it comes to style or durability. Our shoes are made for walking!

Whether you have specific foot issues, ‘hard to fit’ feet, general discomfort or are looking for shoes to accommodate and complement insoles or orthotics, you will find what you’re looking for at Forbes Footwear. We’ve spent countless hours researching and collating the best brands that meet our stringent standards, so

You don’t have to. Our professional fitters can help match you with the perfect shoe at our Hornsby (NSW) store, or you can purchase online where comfort is only a click away.


While supportive shoes can go a long way to improving comfort, some feet require a little extra help. Removeable, generic insoles are an effective way to increase both cushioning and arch support, and they are also an inexpensive way to test whether you might benefit from custom made orthotics – which are usually designed to deliver a higher level of structured support.

While generic inserts can be fitted to most shoes, they are most effective when paired with shoes that have been designed with insole use in mind. After all, there is little point fitting insoles to shoes that may themselves be ill-fitting and counteracting any of the benefits your insoles are providing. Forbes Footwear’s range of insole-friendly shoes not only ensure you’re receiving maximum benefits from your new inserts – they come in a broad range and look great as well. We have a wide selection of men’s and women’s styles available – from sandals to dress shoes and runners – all of which can be professionally fitted with your insoles at our Hornsby (NSW) store or conveniently purchased online. With off-the-shelf insoles also available, it has never been easier to find the perfect combination and fit.


Generic and custom orthotics are becoming increasingly common as we begin to realise the importance of having feet correctly aligned and supported. Different to standard insoles, orthotics are designed to provide increased support where you need it most – redistributing pressure, restoring natural foot function and relieving pain.


Orthotics really are an investment, and therefore you want to ensure that investment is living up to its promise. If you’ve had a pair custom-fitted – or even if you’re using a generic option – it is important to ensure you’re pairing them with the correct shoes, otherwise you may not be receiving their full benefit.


Not all shoes complement orthotics, and in fact some shoes simply don’t accommodate them at all. At Forbes Footwear, we specialise in shoes that have been designed with orthotics in mind. Our range spans men’s and women’s styles, from runners to sandals, work and dress shoes. And unlike some orthotic-friendly designs, ours look just as great as they are comfortable. Our range is available online, however if you visit our Hornsby (NSW) store, our professional fitters can help you find the perfect shoe that suits your individual needs, feet and orthotics. For shoes that go the extra mile, look no further.


We provide shoes online or in-store for orthotics and other hard to fit feet so you can: walk, work, dance, shop, play, chase the grandchildren – whatever you enjoy, all pain-free.

We also make it easy to find the perfect fit for kids school, sport and seasonal shoes to ensure an active future.
