Our Story
My name is Stefan, my partner’s name is Janette. We have four beautiful children between us, two beautiful Bullmastiff dogs and a cat called Rocky. After practicing Podiatry for 25 years, we decided that we could join forces to develop and produce something special to help feet.
Over the years I have recommended many different types of foot creams that were designed to help patients suffering from dry skin, cracked heels and other skin related issues. These creams felt smooth and smelt lovely however, they all suffered from the same issue - they were too light to stay on the foot and they rubbed off soon after application.
Janette’s interest has remained in the use of natural, unmodified plant based products aimed at improving health. She has spent many years researching alternatives for synthetic, petroleum oil based or modified plant based products used to manufacture foot creams. These artificial ingredients are often used to increase the shelf life, change the colour or smell of the foot cream, aimed at attracting a wider customer base.
It became clear that we could do better.
We decided to put our heads together and use our separate skill sets and experience and created something special, specifically designed for the requirements of the foot, using natural and unmodified ingredients sourced directly from our beautiful country - New Zealand. Something safe and natural that stayed on the foot and actually worked.
The Foot Wax range was then created. We believe it is a unique range foot emollients aimed at providing effective relief from dry skin or cracked heels, providing a blend of naturally occurring, unmodified ingredients aimed at improving skin and foot health.
We then opened The Foot Shop and we are continuing to grow, now supplying our Foot Wax to happy customers in New Zealand and overseas, including UK and Europe.
One a final note, I’d just like to conclude by saying thank you to all our customers. Janette and I are both delighted that you love it.
Thanks
Stefan & Janette
