Orthopedic Footwear
Orthopedic shoes are worn by people of all ages suffering from poor foot mechanics. They are specifically designed with features that provide additional support to the structure and mechanics of the foot, ankle, and leg.
What Are Orthopedic Shoes?
Orthopedic footwear typically has several features that separate them from everyday footwear including:
Padded tongue (A): minimizes lacing pressure over the instep
Foam cushioned collar (B): extra padding and cushioning to provide comfort and support, prevents heel slippage and creates a snug friction-free fit
Deep toe box (C): to provide room for the toes to be comfortable and to accommodate foot conditions such as hammertoes or bunions
Firm heel counter (D): to provide stability and support
Removable insoles (E): to accommodate custom orthotics
Strong shank and wide and stable base (F): to provide balance and arch support
Rocker sole (G): to promote a natural gait and reduce pressure on the foot
Adjustable straps or laces to provide a customized and secure fit
Often made of durable materials and are easy to clean
