Fit First: Policy - Fit - ROI

Corporate Footwear Fit Program (CFFP)

Improving Performance, Reducing Risk, and Controlling Costs

Many organisations face recurring issues among personnel who wear occupational footwear for long hours in demanding environments. Foot pain, discomfort, reduced performance, absenteeism, and equipment-related dissatisfaction are often treated as individual or medical problems. However, in many cases, these issues originate from a structural factor that is rarely addressed: ill-fitting occupational footwear.

​

In 2021, Nesterovica and colleagues reported that 57.6% of soldiers were wearing inappropriate shoe sizes and explicitly identified the lack of width options in issued boots as a major limitation in achieving proper fit. Their findings show that even when length seems correct, unseen width mismatch remains common and directly linked to discomfort and injury risk.

Why This Matters

In professional environments, occupational footwear is not just equipment; it directly influences movement, load distribution, and physical endurance. When footwear does not match foot shape and function, repeated mechanical stress can occur, leading to foot pain, reduced efficiency, and increased injury risk. Over time, these effects impact productivity, workforce performance, and operational costs. Small mismatches in footwear fit, repeated daily, can therefore generate significant organisational consequences.

Who We Work With

Oliverland Consulting supports organisations where occupational footwear is critical for safety, performance, and long hours on the feet.

​

We typically work with:

  • Military forces and military schools

  • Police, and security services

  • Fire and emergency services

  • Hospitals and healthcare organisations 

  • Construction, logistics, and industrial companies 

 

These organisations share the same challenge: they must equip people who stand, walk, and carry loads for many hours, often in demanding environments, while controlling injury risk, absenteeism, and long-term costs.

 

We collaborate mainly with decision-makers responsible for:

  • Procurement and tendering of occupational footwear

  • Occupational health, risk prevention, and ergonomics

  • Operations, HR, training, and brand/retail management

​

Our services are designed to help these teams see footwear fit as a manageable, measurable lever for comfort, performance, and return on investment—not just a size on a box.

​Our Services

Oliverland Consulting helps organisations improve occupational footwear fit through three core service areas. These services address fit education, procurement decisions, and fitting processes. ​

​

​Organisations may begin with a free 30-minute consultation to discuss current challenges and identify the most relevant next step. Based on the organisation’s needs, follow-up support and next steps can then be tailored accordingly. 

Free 30-Minute Consultation

An introductory discussion to understand your organisation’s footwear-fit challenges, current concerns, and priorities. This first conversation helps identify which service may be the most appropriate next step: Fit Education, Fit Assessment, or Procurement and ROI Review. Tailor-made services are available based on the organisation's needs.

Footwear Fit Education Training (CFFP-1)

​CFFP-1 improves organisational knowledge of occupational footwear fit and enables personnel to make more accurate fitting decisions. Expected outcomes include better recognition of ill-fitting footwear, reduced fitting errors, improved user satisfaction, and a decrease in foot-related complaints and minor injuries.

Procurement Strategy Diagnostic (CFFP-2)

CFFP-2 supports procurement teams in optimising footwear purchasing decisions by aligning product selection with real user needs and foot variability. Expected outcomes include better fitted professional footwear, improved stock and size allocation, smoother logistics flow, and reduced administrative and replacement costs.

Fitting Process Diagnostic & Optimisation (CFFP-3)

CFFP-3 improves how footwear is selected, tested, and validated within the organisation through a more structured and consistent fitting process. Expected outcomes include more reliable fitting decisions, better traceability of user feedback, continuous improvement of footwear allocation, and long-term reduction in fit-related issues.
