Our Story
Founded in the UK back in 1978, WearerTech started with a strong family belief: improving lives matters. With grandparents on both sides who were medical doctors, the founders grew up in a world shaped by care and curiosity about how to help people feel better. That same drive still fuels our mission today — reducing pain and fatigue for people who spend long hours on their feet.
Early on, the founders noticed a clear problem. People in busy hospitality, healthcare, and facilities roles were working long shifts in pain struggling with issues that could often be prevented. To really understand what was going on, we partnered with Salford University, a leader in biomechanics research in the UK. Together, we looked closely at how being on your feet all day affects the entire body not just feet, but ankles, knees, hips, and lower backs too.
That scientific approach still guides everything we do today. What began as a small, family-run business in the UK has grown into a trusted footwear brand used by leading organizations across Europe and now, we're proud to be expanding in the U.S.
Our mission hasn’t changed: to take pain off the table for frontline teams and create real, measurable value for the companies they’re part of. Because when people feel better, they work better and that benefits everyone.
