Footwear

About

What kind of footwear do you carry? All of the footwear we carry is considered orthopedic or orthotic footwear. This means that the footwear is designed to biomechanically support the foot. In other words, the footwear we carry typically will have a combination of foot support and foot cushioning to ensure your foot has proper support and increased comfort day in and day out. Can footwear help with foot pain relief? Orthopedic footwear is designed to support the foot and provide enhanced cushioning, both of which will help prevent and alleviate common foot conditions such as plantar fasciiits and over-pronation. When would I buy orthopedic footwear instead of an insole? The one major limitation of using insoles for foot support is that they can only be used in enclosed footwear, such as sneakers, loafers, boots, etc. When it comes to sandals, slides, clogs, and other such footwear, insoles typically will not stay in place correctly. If you already have a pair of sandals that you love but want more support, shopping for a shoe insert is a great solution. However, if you're looking for new footwear and want to ensure that it will have the support you need, shopping for footwear with that support and cushioning built into the product is a better solution. Can the insoles in orthopedic footwear be removed? Generally, no. The vast majority of the footwear we carry has the foot support built directly into the sole of the shoe and is not removable. A handful of products do have removable insoles, but generally the answer is that the insoles in orthopedic footwear are not designed to be removed. How do I care for my footwear? This depends primarily on the material of which the product is made, and you should always follow the product's care instructions for cleaning. Most materials such as foam and PU leather can be quickly wiped down with a damp cloth or even a mild detergent to help remove dirt and mud. For materials such as genuine leather and suede, pay close attention
