Orthopedic shoes

Specialty and orthopedic footwear are either factory-made or custom-made. The latter may be chosen if suitable shoes cannot be found among ready-made models due to foot problems, such as severe malalignments or swelling. Specialty shoes are always selected according to the specific needs of the user's foot, taking into account, for example, the shape and strength of ankle supports, the extra space needed for foot shapes and orthotic insoles, pressure relief features, and the special requirements of the outsoles, such as rocker bottoms.

As the name suggests, support shoes are footwear that provides much stronger support to the foot than a regular shoe. The forms and strength of the support are determined by the user's needs and their feet. If a shoe providing the right kind of support cannot be found among ready-made shoes, they can also be custom-made by an orthopedic technician if necessary.

Due to rheumatism or diabetes, symptoms can also appear in the lower limbs. In rheumatic diseases, the joints in the feet can be painful and stiff. Diabetes can cause a loss of sensation or sensory sensitivity in the feet, impaired blood circulation, and swelling of the feet. Because of these symptoms, rheumatoid arthritis and diabetic shoes offer plenty of space, softness, and support for the foot. The shoes are also easy to put on, even if there are rheumatic symptoms in the finger joints, for example.

As the name suggests, therapeutic and post-operative shoes are footwear used, for example, during wound care, after surgery, or while treating other injuries. A suitable therapeutic shoe is chosen according to the user's needs. These needs may include, for example, forefoot offloading, heel pressure relief, a rocker bottom sole feature, or a feature that restricts ankle movement.

The use of specialty footwear is appropriate when a need for them has been identified for the feet. This need could be, for example, supporting the ankle's position with support sandals, ensuring spaciousness and easy donning with rheumatoid and diabetic shoes, or using a therapeutic shoe during wound care. Orthopedic and specialty shoes can also be used for prevention and to support mobility and functional capacity.

First, it is good to know what you want from your specialty footwear. Do you want them to provide extra support for the ankle, relieve pressure when walking from the heel or midfoot, or simply be spacious enough?
