Orthopaedic Shoes

 

What are orthopedic shoes?

 

Orthopedic shoes are shoes that are specifically designed to support or accommodate the mechanics and structure of the foot, ankle and leg. They have a number of medically beneficial features and functions that separate them from everyday footwear. The more abnormal your foot mechanics are the more likely you will require orthopedic shoes.
