20 Best Women’S Shoes For Orthotics (2023 Updated)

This is a brand I have never heard of so I very hesitant to purchase these sneakers. But, am I glad I did! I have rheumatoid arthritis, so I need a good solid sneaker with support. These are probably the best running sneakers I have ever worn! I love that they removable insoles and come with an extra pair.

Also, they have wide widths! I wore them right out of the box and went for a 4 mile run/walk and had no issues afterwards! No pain in my feet or anywhere else. I like them so much I went a bought the other style to try out.

I’ve had these for a couple of weeks now. I’m so happy with these shoes. Even though they are running shoes, they are also great for walking. I’ve walked paved as well as dirt trails in them without my usual foot pain kicking in after a couple miles.

They also look nice as well. Very glad I purchased these.

Thought I was buying a walking shoe. Turns out these are running shoes. Love the color so decided to keep them. The shoe is a little short in the toe when the corrective support insert is used also the shoe strings should be longer.

I’m flat footed almost no arch these shoes gives my feet a lot of support.

I was attracted to the rose-colored Francis No-Tie walking shoe first because of the pretty color. I wanted something comfortable for walking that looked in style. I’ve started attending an exercise class in the past two years – and have been trying to find shoes that I can wear all day and will “fit in” with what the other women have on.

I’ve gotten compliments on the style and color of these shoes. I feel cheerful having pink feet! But more importantly is the fit and comfort of these shoes. Anyone with problem feet recognizes how valuable that is.

If your feet are miserable, then your whole body is miserable. These shoes fit spectacularly! I’m impressed with Orthofeet’s spacers and arch supports they include with every shoe. You can adjust the combination of them to make your shoes fit perfectly.

My foot problem is having ‘hammertoes’. The wide and high toe-box has solved the problem of getting wounds on top of my toes as I do in shoes from other companies. Because I have diabetes, I have to protect my feet from getting any wounds.

I like the combination of materials on the outside of the Francis No-Tie walkers, especially the stretchable knit upper. My toes and heels are not getting rubbed raw. I am talking about these new shoes to everyone I know.

These are problem solving shoes! Plus, they are cute!.

I have severe PF and I have tried quite literally everything to find some sort of relief. I was hesitant about these shoes because I am 41 years old and every other review was from a Grandma. I was worried about the “hipness” of these shoes.

I was pleasantly surprised when they came! They look pretty hip except for the Ortho Feet stitched on the back. However, most people don’t notice that. The shoes are very comfortable. I stand for about 4-6 hours every day at my job on a hard floor.

They have really helped my feet. I have been wearing these for almost a month and even though I still have pain every day, it has lessened quite a bit. The other thing I love is the no tie. They fit nicely and don’t slip on my feet.

I believe they are true to size. I wear a size 8 and I got an 8 wide and they fit perfectly.

I developed bunions from fallen arches and also lumbar strain from my fallen arches making my pelvis uneven and putting strain on my back. My DO measured me with these shoes on and it fixed my pelvic imbalance.

Arches supported, great with the extra plastic piece as i have high arches normally. Shoes is very cushioned almost springy, but sturdy. Does not rub on ankles or heels like other shoes. Definitely worth it.

Wish they had regular laces but i did not like color combos in the laced styles. I ran a little outside to test and they did well. Great for walking indoor or on a treadmill, also good as an everyday shoe.

The sneakers themselves are wonderful: they fit perfectly. They were shipped with a drop of ink in the direct center of the top of the right heel. The sneakers were to be a Holiday gift. There are none of color ordered left to exchange for or with.

This pair of sneakers should never have been shipped out. I am very sad, as this line is not cheap. These were the exact walking shoes requested but it looks like I bought a ‘second’ or department store reject! Now, I have a decision to make: return for another color or gift a defective sneaker and let her exchange them!.

I work in retail and am on my feet for 8-10 hours a day. I have purchased all kinds of shoes claiming that they are good for walking and standing and it appears all I keep doing is throwing my money away.

, I wore these for about 4 hours at work yesterday and it made the plantar fasciitis in my left heel worse than usual (more pain). While I read all of the reviews and thought these would work, they didn’t for me.

I will be returning them and continue to search for shoes that will support my long hours on my feet. Another note. I generally wear a 10 but, as recommended by several reviews, sized up to an 11. They were right that the sizing is off.

these fit me like a 10. not much toe box room.

IšverstiShow in original languageUnfortunately my trainers didn’t fit. Good width across toes, too wide over-rest of foot. Also too short. Fabric tops are a cheap poor quality. Soles seem to be durable.

My major problem is that it’s impossible to return the trainers. Fitville admitted that it’s expensive to return to their distributor in Germany and offered me a refund of £50 instead, and that I keep the trainers.

This is a thoughtful gesture, however I would have preferred a full refund or trainers that actually fit, but I’m not prepared to try another size and having the same returns problem. This company needs to sort out their returns issues before they are real contenders in the trainer market!.

So I was a little wary at first of buying shoes online, but I have severe arthritis in my left knee from severe hemophilia A, and I’d dropped a local ortho shoe place because their quality just went to crap.

I am blown away by the quality of these shoes. Most shoes require a break-in period where your foot and the shoe have to learn to get along, these feel absolutely comfortable from the first moment that you put them on.

I can’t believe how cushiony it feels to walk in these, it literally feels like you’re walking on clouds! You need as much shock compression as you can get when your knee has no cartilage, and I’m sure it’s helped my back some too.

Frankly, anyone that’s on their feet for a long time would benefit from these. I even bought a pair for my brother (works in a warehouse, has back issues), and I know he loved them because as soon as he put them on he didn’t take them off, and forgot he was wearing them.

I can’t say enough. Buy these shoes.

I would say Orthofeet goes the extra mile in making sure they offer a well made shoe. The added insoles are a great idea in the event the shoe has more room than needed to fit the feet. I didn’t need them but I did add the arch support.

Have worn them for my daily power walks as well as around the house. They’ve worked out perfectly. My only reason for four stars rather than five is that somehow I missed these shoes have accents of what looks like patent leather.

Not a fan of the shiny. Guess it works for others. I will read the description and study the photos a little more carefully before ordering next time. Other than that one thing I can highly recommend these shoes.

IšverstiShow in original languageThese slippers are so comfortable! This is my first pair of arch support shoes. I never thought I needed shoes to support until my doctor recommend this specific Power Step brand and what a difference.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!.

IšverstiShow in original languageFantastic slippers! Hated wearing shoes in the house every day to help curb pain from Plantar Fasciitis. With these slippers I have support, comfort and keep the outside dirt outside! Major plus, my pain has improved since I started wearing these!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI nought this (cheaper) from HSN but they don’t sell them anymore. Most supportive slippers I have owned. I have some foot issues like morton’s neuromas and these are so comfy.

really help.

The shoe was lightweight and comfy. Only problem was the mesh was too loose. I have more narrow feet and a relatively low instep. Because of that, my foot could slide around inside which is a hazard for me with rolling my ankle.

Sadly returned. If you have wider feet or a higher instep, could be a great shoe for you. The stretchy mesh would also be pretty good for folks prone to foot swelling as well such as diabetics.

I have PF in my left foot and metatarsal pain in my right foot due to a bunion and these shoes are so comfortable. I put my orthotics in them and I can wear them all day at work and then walk the dogs when I get home.

They are great and I can’t wait to get a couple more pairs. I also love that they are pretty. Yes, they have a sneaker type sole, but they slenderize my wider feet and look nice. I’m looking forward to another pair.

These shoes were true to size and provided great support Unfortunately, on the second day of me wearing them, both shoes developed a squeaking/farting sound. After emailing customer service I was told this is not a defect and they can’t help me.

This will be my last pair of shoes from Therafit. If they won’t stand behind their product then I will no longer be a customer. NO ONE WANTS TO WEAR A SHOE THAT SQUEAKS.

I had never heard of Spenco but recently purchased the Spenco slippers. I have very bad feet and find it difficult to wear anything all day, no matter how comfortable they are in the morning. After 5-6 hours, I have to change to something else or tolerate a burning, stinging sensation.

I decided to try the sneakers since I love the slippers so much. I wore them one entire day and took them with me on vacation since they were so comfortable. I ordered my normal size, 9M even though I usually have to order shoes that I wear socks with 1/2 size larger to not irritate my bunions.

I don’t know why the review appears as if I purchased a shoe on the narrow side and it will not allow me to select M. Thanks to the arch support, my plantars fasciitis did not bother me as long as I wore these sneakers or the slippers.

I’m anxious to try other shoes from this company.

The width was perfect. QVC radial buttons won’t let it say perfect—makes you swing to either narrow or wider than middle…Bought both the black and gray 6. 5 regular width (my normal size). I like Spenco sandals but haven’t tried their other shoes.

Wore them an hour and oh my they are comfortable. Nothing pinches…love the soft flexible fabric material on top of shoe. Heel is not high and no high platform which at 60 plus years old—-it’s greatly appreciated.

Just got a new puppy and I needed walking shoes. Just ordered the blue. Maybe in a month or so, I’ll get the purple. This will work with any summer outfit and for many different occasions not just for walking the pooch.

Great shoe!.

This is an unusual shoe, but I absolutely love it! While it does have laces, there is no tongue, and you just slip the shoe on. I have an issue with many shoes going too high in the back and rubbing a blister (gave up on Skechers for this exact reason), but these are lower in the back and there is no rubbing.

Also a very soft material, so you get a little of the canvas sneaker look with much more comfort. These are a little warm for summer here, but such a cute look and super comfortable! This is the first shoe I wear sockless that I love.

I’ve had my new kicks for a few weeks, but feel it’s too soon to write a review Of a love or hate relationship. At first it felt like the arches weren’t placed on my arch properly. Over time that seems to be adjusting.

The size I did go a 1/2 size up. I’m torn. My foot doesn’t slip but they feel big and clunky. With that said, I’m used to topo shoes which are small and light weight, so am I comparing brands or have a true fitting issue!? Not sure, too soon to tell.

I love the tight heel, the color and over all look. The feel. Well, as I’ve said, too soon to write a fair review, so I have it 3 stars until I’ve had time to really wear and adjust to these new kicks.

If I do end up loving it, please make more appealing dress shoes. What is out there now are truly old lady styles and Kuru needs to get with the times.

I have a bad bunion on only my right foot and I’ve been using custom orthotics inside regular sneakers (currently wearing Nike flyknit). I was hoping these shoes would be as advertised in helping relieve foot pain but unfortunately did not.

I have been wearing them for almost 3 weeks now. I am on my feet for 7-8 hours a day for work and I have never felt the kind of calf muscle strain as I have with these shoes. It is stiff and heavy even after breaking into them.

The only positive I can say is that it looks nice, unlike some of the foot corrector or bunion specific shoes. Sad I feel like I have wasted money and these shoes will probably sit in the shoe box until donated.

Shopping for shoes in the time of Covid19 has been a challenge. I have wide feet and I also have a very painful heel that often makes me hobble around, especially in the morning when I wake up. I went to 3 different brick and mortar stores but everything available seems to be that chintzy woven polysester fabric that isn’t well made and doesn’t offer support.

So, I started looking online. I didn’t expect much and was hesitant to order shoes online but the generous 60 day return/exchange policy (directly on the orthofeet website) led me to take a chance. I received the shoes in less than a week and they came with two pairs of foamy inserts to use if you needed to adjust the shoe to a more custom fit.

At first they seemed a little awkward and clunky, but I quickly got used to them and decided to take a walk for a couple of blocks. It felt like the shoes were gently stretching out and re-aligning my feet.

The next day I woke up with very little heel pain. This was after months and months of significant heel pain. I wasn’t expecting much but wow, what a difference the right pair of shoes can make. I had been using a $65 pair of Sketcher sneakers with some orthopedic inserts, but the heel pain was not solved with that.

This new pair of WalkHero shoes were $99 but worth every penny and very well made. (they were actully $125, but the direct manufacturer website was offering a sale). I ordered the extra wide shoe and I may have been able to order the regular wide version, but with the inserts they include with your shoes you can make adjustments.

If you have been living with foot issues and have just kind of come to accept it as a fact of life, do yourself a favor and go directly to the WalkHero website and order from the New Jersey location.

Shipping took less than a week and the return policy is 60 days so you really have nothing to lose by giving these shoes a try. $100 was more than I wanted to spend on a pair of shoes but they are worth it.

It is a quality of life issue, especially in the time of Covid. I have a gym membership but have been hesitant to return to the gym so walking is really my only option for exercise. These shoes make that possible again.

I had kind of given up on it because the heel pain had become so bad. The relief was immediate and so unexpected because I had already been trying orthopedic inserts to use with my regular shoes and they didn’t really seem to help– you need it baked in to the shoe itself, as I have come to find out with my experience with the WalkHero shoes.

I have been struggling to find footwear to allow me to function without pain or at least to reduce the back, hip, knee, and leg pain I suffer. PT, massage, heat, and stretching only go so far. This year alone I have tried 5 other high end products but have had to return them all because I couldn’t even use them to walk from the house to the car without suffering and lying down afterward.

But I am relieved to say that these work! I usually don’t wear shoes in the house but have taken to doing so with these because they are the only way I can still function and get things done rather than sitting because of pain.

I love the toe box best of all. The shape is perfect for real feet. The first thing I did when looking at other sneakers was to checkout the toe area. They feel incredibly solid and supportive, firmly encasing my feet.

I would love to find the same relief and comfort in one that is slip- on without the tying of laces because bending is very painful and I was told not to do it because of my spine degeneration, but in the meantime I will thank my lucky stars I found these.

It was through an internet search because I hadn’t heard of the company before and look forward to trying other models. Now if they only made dancing shoes so I could bachata again!.

Wow! I am a senior citizen and have discovered that aging comes with more problems than I expected. I was going to physical therapy three times a week to be more stable on my feet. I have back and neck issues from a car accident but my instability on my feet has bothered me so much.

I have tried a lot of shoes over the years. Sketchers, New Balance, etc. I was looking for something new and read about these shoes. Everything they say about them is true. I no longer walk like someone that is a little tipsy.

I walk normal and my confidence has greatly improved. I am no longer using my cane for that “just in case” situation where I might fall. I am not recommending anyone give up their devices that make you feel safer.

I am only sharing what my experience has been. I have two pairs of these shoes and wear them all the time. We have tile floors and these shoes make it much more comfortable for standing in the kitchen, etc.

I am buying more for a variety. The style may not go with everything but I believe in safety and comfort first. Since I live in Arizona, everything is casual. If you are in a similar place in life with walking, I say give these shoes a try.

I get compliments on them everyday.

I have had flat feet my entire life; plantar fasciitis; heel spurs – experiencing daily foot pain. These shoes are a true blessing. Best arch support and comfort ever. Highly recommend for those who need arch support.

I have been wearing orthotics for decades and have tried a variety of different brands. These are my favorites. I have a history of plantar fasciitis as well as a Morton’s neuroma. I no longer suffer from these issues as long as I wear the right shoes combined with proper arch support.

They offer good arch support along with a metatarsal pad, which I find essential. The cushiony feel doesn’t take away from the support either. I recommend these if you have sensitive feet like myself.

I have extremely bad fallen arches, I couldn’t be on my feet for more than an hour or two without crippling pain. I got these on my doctors recommendation, at first they were painful to wear I wore them for about 2 to three hours a day until my feet got used to being in the correct position.

I paired these with a good sneaker (Hoka Bondi 7) and now I can be on my feet for 8 to 10 hours and just have tired feet at the end of the day and no more pain. I have gotten these supports for all my shoes and sneakers.

Highly recommend!.

Most comfortable orthotic I’ve worn as it does not irritate my toes like other full length orthotics I’ve tried. Biggest plus is that it has a solid arch which means it won’t flatten out over time. However, the heel cup is not as deep and arch support not quite high enough for those of us with pronated ankles.

Overall, this is one of my top two favorites and I highly recommend trying it.

I have worn orthotics for approximately 35 years and never experienced the comfort that I have with this pair of shoes and the booster. Once wearing the shoes I thought back to the many pairs of shoes that I have purchased over the years trying to experience comfort.

Even though each time I was fitted it was suggested that I wear a half size smaller than I should have, I was always uncomfortable. I knew from the very beginning of this pair that I would need to dispose of every pair of shoes that I currently have and switch over to OrthoFeet shoes.

Not only do my feet feel better, but my knees low back, and right scapula area show improvement. For years someone else has had to hang my clothes in the closet, because I experienced too much pain in my lower shoulder area.

All of that has disappeared. I have already ordered 2 additional pairs of shoes, and have another ordered and hopefully someone will light a fire under that order for me. Totally believe in this shoe and the shoemaker and have lots of suggestions for potential ways that shoes need to be developed that will help whole generations of people who have problems that are never identified as potential causes of pain.

Thank you for developing this type of shoe.

I already owned the Serene style in black so was very glad to be able to get this in another color. The color is described as ‘tan’ but it’s really a nice medium brown and will be wonderful for upcoming Fall days.

I took the advice of another reviewer and bumped the width up by one AND GOT AN EXCELLENT FIT. I always have good luck with the shoes I buy from Orthofeet. They have a quality product and I trust their guarantee that says they will work with a customer to assure the best fit.

But with seven purchases in the past three years, I have yet to need to return any style and will continue to shop Orthofeet with confidence!.

At first I thought the shoe was too big, but after I inserted the extra insoles they fit snug and became even softer on the inside. It’s like wearing a sneaker, they are extra soft and comfortable and, light weight, I even have an extra pep in my step.

I love love love them. They are the most comfort shoes that I have ever worn. I have plantar faciitis and have custom made inserts, however my podiatrist approve of me wearing these shoes without the inserts as long as my heels are comfortable and I must say so far I have not had to wear the insoles with these shoes.

Very dissapointed. I have 2 other pair of Therafit which are a good fit & comfortable. However, this new pair is too wide, & there is no way to tighten them. I thought I had found the perfect brand but hesitarte to order anything else.

They are expensive shoes. I dont mind paying for a good product that is as advertised, but this shoe is not.

The curve of the toes starts too soon so the little toes rub terribly. Very comfortable at the arch area and under heels. Since they are slide on, I cannot comment on whether the heel is too wide or not.

I ordered a size 38 that I normally wear and it was too big. Exchanged for a 37 – too small. The funny thing is that I have the same shoe in another color that is a size 38 and fits perfectly. Also exchanged another shoe – the Molly leather clog- for a 37 since the 38 was too big and the 37 was no different in sizing from the 38 and was too big also.

Very poor consistency in sizes.
