orthopedic shoes

Foot-correcting footwear type

Orthopedic shoes are footwear designed to support or correct problems with the feet, ankles, or legs.

They may be custom-made from a mold of the wearer's foot or manufactured with features like extra arch support, wider toe boxes, or rigid soles.

Doctors prescribe them for conditions ranging from flat feet to diabetes-related foot problems.

The podiatrist recommended orthopedic shoes after examining her bunions.
