Last Monday, I was invited to witness the press launch of Dr. Kong Healthy Shoes Shop at Guevarra’s by Chef Laudico. This place gives me a Filipino-Spanish “monchetty” feel. I love it!
During the event, I have learned that Dr. Kong does not only sell shoes but also recommend the most suitable footwear for your foot condition.
Dr. Kong was first established in the year 1999 and right now, they have over 200 branches across Asia. 60 in Hong Kong, 133 in China, several branches in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines.
It is the first to provide the innovative “Check & Fit” foot examination and insole fitting service which is a Free and Professional Assessment of the foot with the use of a pedometer. After the foot assessment, the most suitable foot care product will be recommended according to the condition of the customer’s feet.
They offer various products focused on foot and spine care for all ages.
Good thing, Dr. Kong is already here in the Philippines! We now have a chance to correct those foot disorder and prevent foot pain.

Professor Raymond Ng Kwan Ying told us that the shoes we wear have a substantial impact on the load on the knee joints which can impair the quality of one’s life. A small abnormality in foot function can be the cause of and have a large impact on knee and other joints higher up in the body, causing pain and discomfort.
Thus, he does not recommend people to wear heels as it may damage our feet more. It is better to take care of our feet in the early formative years to ensure that we grow with healthy feet, which may otherwise result in foot problems like flatfoot and rear foot valgus (a condition in which the rear of foot tends to curve outwards at the ankle joint) as they move towards adulthood.

The 3D Concept of Dr. Kong shoes has different levels of arch support for different foot types, hard heel counter to stabilize the heel, different forefeet width, and contains a Curve Metal to support body weight.
There are currently 5 branches here in the Philippines – Robinsons Galleria, Robinsons Magnolia, Robinsons Place Manila, Sekai Center Greenhills, and SM Aura Premiere. Visit their branch near you to have your foot check and purchase their products before it’s too late.
