In 1995, Connie Kashkawol found through personal experience that there was considerable room for improvement in the available post-operative footwear of the time. So, in 1998 she set out to develop a medically superior, more comfortable and attractive alternative.

Combining sound medical practice, biomechanics along with a touch of fashion sense, the team she assembled created WalkWell; the culmination of extensive research into the special footcare needs, rehabilitation, comfort and well-being of post-operative patients.
