Toe-Tle Footcare changed its name to Toetal Footcare in January 2009. The Company has been mis-named and mis-spelt in a number of directories over the years, so now we have made the decision to finalise the exact name and spelling of the brand.

Toetal Footcare - Company Background

Toe-Tle Footcare - now called Toetal Footcare was established in 1993 by its founders, HPC registered podiatrists Tracy Davies and Joanne Wynne. Both partners had qualified from the Cardiff School of Podiatry and met whilst they were employed by the Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust.

Toetal Footcare started with a practice in an upstairs premises in Pontypridd town centre. As the business became more popular, the space restriction became untenable and, in 2002, the shop below became available; Toetal Footcare expanded into this premises which it still occupies today.

The shop frontage allowed the firm to show and stock a range of specialist, extra wide fitting shoes for men and ladies. Toetal Footcare has become one of “Cosyfeet Shoes” largest retailers, providing an important service to patients with ‘difficult to fit’ feet. Expanding this theme, Total Footcare began stocking and selling good quality, British made “Hotter Footwear”, which has always had an excellent reputation for comfort. These two ranges of shoes were complemented with a range of other footcare products.

In 2006, Toetal Footcare opened its second branch in Cardiff. This allowed the firm to extend its range of footwear and increase the number of clinical treatments for its clients.

Toetal Staff

Toetal Footcare now employs 11 staff in the business. Podiatry treatments are provided by Mrs. Davies, Mrs. Wynne, Mrs Barnett, Mr Jaimangle - by appointment only.

She has represented Wales for 5 years in rowing; has completed numerous half marathons and one full marathon; and for the last two years has been competing in Olympic distance triathlons.
