FAQs
Orthopedic shoes are shoes designed to provide maximum support to the foot and ankle. They benefit people with foot pain and a range of conditions that make walking or exercising in regular shoes difficult and uncomfortable.
Having supportive shoes can help reduce foot pain, increase blood flow, improve posture, and reduce the risk of injury. Additionally, wearing orthopedic shoes can prevent future foot problems.
While orthopedic shoes do help provide comfort for people with foot pain and certain foot conditions, they are not a substitute for the proper medical care needed. If you feel you need medical help for foot pain or have concerns, advise or visit your local GP.
Some people rely more on orthotics to help relieve discomfort and improve quality of life, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t right for everyone! Orthopedic shoes can also be used as a preventative measure to prevent foot problems as we age.
