11 best orthopedic shoe companies

Orthopedic shoes are designed for people with developmental disorders of the feet. Due to the incorrect functioning of the arch, the wear and tear of the joints in the pelvis and feet accelerates. If you choose the right footwear, you can avoid these unpleasant consequences by reducing the load.

Our experts have compiled a ranking of the 11 best orthopedic footwear companies approved by orthopedic doctors.

How to choose orthopedic shoes

1. Individualized approach. Therapeutic effect can give only shoes with insoles, made on molds of the patient’s feet. All products in the stores have only a preventive or mild therapeutic effect, because they do not take into account individual characteristics.
2. Fixation. The foot in orthopedic shoes has to be optimally supported. Too loose is not suitable, just like stiff, because it leads to cessation of muscle activity, so that later a person can not walk without special shoes, experiencing pain.
3. Age. For adults, the elderly and children need to choose specific models. Pay special attention to buying orthopedic shoes for children. They do not yet have pronounced arches of the feet, which are formed only by the age of 3-5 years. These babies don’t need therapeutic shoes unless there are congenital ligamentous disorders.
