HAPPY WALKER
HISTORY
HISTORY
when it opened its first outlet at Velocity Square Mall. Specializing in healthcare shoes, the company initially operated as a reseller of renowned brands such as Naot and Finn Comfort from the US and Europe. Happy Walker also set itself apart by delving into the production of custom-made insoles, utilizing cutting-edge technology like the Amfit digitizer and Milling system. This innovative approach marked the company as the first orthopedic shoe retail company with an in-house insoles modern production system, a revolutionary shift from traditional plaster cast methods used in clinics.
Despite these advancements, Happy Walker faced challenges due to limited support from the original manufacturers and high freight costs, particularly in importing shoes more suitable for Western people's feet. Undeterred, the company adapted by venturing into new insoles modeling software in 2011 and investing in Healvy production CNC for higher production capacity. This expansion led to the opening of more outlets, allowing Happy Walker to reach a broader customer base.
To cater to the Asian market, Happy Walker started producing shoes specifically designed for Asian feet around the same time. This move positioned the company as a trailblazer in introducing orthotic-friendly shoes to the Asian market, addressing the unique needs of the local population.
The year 2013 marked another milestone for Happy Walker with the introduction of diabetic footwear. The company produced its first diabetic shoes with essential features such as arch support, a wider toe box, seamless stitching, and diabetic lining, further solidifying its commitment to providing specialized footwear for various health needs.
Recognizing the climate and lifestyle in Singapore, Happy Walker unveiled the anatomy thong slipper in 2014. Designed for hot weather, this product offered a comfortable and supportive alternative for leisure activities, ensuring foot health even when not wearing traditional arch-support shoes.

One of the key advantages of the 3D printing service was its environmental friendliness. Happy Walker adopted the use of recycled materials in the printing process, contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly production method. Additionally, 3D printing proved to be a more water-efficient process compared to traditional manufacturing methods, further reducing the environmental impact of the insole production.
For customers, the introduction of 3D printing brought about several benefits. The most notable was a drastic reduction in waiting time – from a standard 5 working days to same-day delivery.
This improvement in turnaround time not only met customer demands for faster service but also contributed to a more efficient and streamlined supply chain.
The shift to 3D printing also led to cost savings in production and dispatching. By utilizing this advanced technology, Happy Walker was able to reduce overall operational costs, and these savings were passed on to customers in the form of competitive pricing. The company aimed to make orthopedic insoles more accessible without compromising on quality.
The choice of using more durable TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) material over traditional EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) was another highlight of the 3D printing service. TPU offered increased durability, ensuring a longer lifespan for the insoles. Moreover, the 100% computerized production process eliminated the need for manual grinding, minimizing the risk of human errors and ensuring a consistent, high-quality product.
Customers were also given the unique opportunity to witness the production process with their own eyes, as all insoles were manufactured in-store using the 3D printing technology. This transparency added a layer of trust and confidence for customers, knowing that their custom-made insoles were being produced with precision and care.
In conclusion, the adoption of 3D printing by Happy Walker proved to be a game-changer. The new approach was not only faster and more cost-effective but also contributed to a more sustainable and environmentally conscious business model. As a result, customers enjoyed the benefits of reduced waiting times, lower costs, and a higher-quality product, reinforcing Happy Walker's position as an industry leader in orthopedic footwear and insole solutions.

Happy customer Natasha, mother of Himaal Sawani, here. I discovered Happy Walker through a newspaper ad, and I was immediately intrigued by their Mobile Home Service, especially since my son has flat feet. I reached out to Happy Walker to schedule a session, and after experiencing their service, I decided to go for the child-package, ordering two pairs of Happy Walker Custom-Made Insoles.
Himaal absolutely adores the comfort of his Happy Walker Custom-Made Insoles. He's been using them regularly with both his school and running shoes. In fact, he's grown so fond of them that, to this day...
