Dr. Kong, also known as Dr. Kong Healthy Shoes Store, is an Asian shoe and accessories brand.
Information
[edit]The brand was established in 1999 in Hong Kong.[1][2] It currently has over 800 locations in 10 countries.[2] The brand is notable for featuring a "Check & Fit" foot test and mat service at various locations operated by professional foot fitness assistants.[2][3]
The brand offers a wide variety of items including men's and women's shoes,[4] children's and elderly shoes, socks, insoles and backpacks.[5] Their shoes are described as offering orthotic features including a spacious toe box,[6] special designs for insoles and heel cups[7][8][9] [10][11][12] and has been a first choice for parents concerned about children's shoes.[13] The brand has also been involved in multiple studies to research their products effects.[14] [15]
Upon visiting the store for the first time, a staff member will test the customer's foot and then make a recommendation according to the results. Dr. Kong also recommends shoes from other stores that match their shoe-pads. Returning customers have their feet checked again to test if any improvement had been made.[16]
