Colin O’Connor – Expert Podiatrist with a Passion for Footwear and Performance

About

Colin O’Connor hails from Ireland but has called Sydney home since 2009, having also lived here between 1998 and 2001. His journey into foot health began more than 20 years ago, well before his formal podiatry training. Colin started his career fitting ski boots and climbing boots in specialised shops, gaining valuable hands-on experience in custom footbed manufacturing and boot fitting.

His passion for footwear and biomechanics led him to work as a professional boot fitter across ski resorts in Europe. This practical expertise formed the foundation for his academic pursuit when he moved to the UK in 2002 to complete a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Podiatry. Since then, Colin has developed a strong reputation for combining his technical knowledge with real-world experience to provide outstanding podiatric care.
