Has been a pleasure to help Alex get to the start line, even if I did think he was crazy doing the Coast to Coast in a pair of Gumboots. Good luck for tomorrow mate.
Alex Grogan (29) from Christchurch recently visited his podiatrist for an unusual fitting…
Donning his redbands in honour of mental health charity I AM HOPE , Alex is completing the iconic Coast to Coast multi-sport event... in his gummies!
Running in gumboots is no mean feat, so Nick Haley, principal podiatrist at Feet N Motion fitted his redbands with Formthotics Widefit. These will greatly improve his comfort, and decrease chance of injury during the event.
Foot Science was happy to be able to assist with the provision of Formthotics and we look forward to following his progress and cheering him along during the race.
