- Orthopaedic shoes are shoes that are specifically designed to support or accommodate the mechanics and structure of the foot, ankle and leg and they have a number of medically beneficial features and functions that separate them from everyday footwear.
- In general, orthopedic shoes are designed to support the natural shape of the foot by providing superior comfort and support. Often stiffer, they prevent ankle sprains and thus limit the pain caused by wearing unsuitable footwear.
