Ask our team
What are orthopaedic shoes?

Orthopaedic shoes are supportive footwear designed to address comfort, fit, and stability considerations that may not be met by standard shoes. Features and suitability vary by style, so the most appropriate option depends on your individual needs.

How do I know whether orthopaedic shoes are right for me?

Orthopaedic shoes may be worth considering if you are looking for additional support, comfort, or accommodation in your everyday footwear.

A healthcare professional or qualified footwear provider can help you consider factors such as your walking habits, foot shape, mobility, and any existing recommendations for your care.

Can orthopaedic shoes be worn every day?

Many people use supportive footwear as part of their daily routine. Whether a particular shoe is suitable for regular wear depends on its fit, your activity level, and your individual comfort needs.

If you experience ongoing discomfort, changes in sensation, or difficulty walking, seek appropriate professional assessment.

Do orthopaedic shoes come in different sizes and widths?

Available sizes, widths, and styles may vary by product and current stock. Contact ProMED for current availability and assistance with identifying options that may suit your needs.

Can I use orthopaedic shoes with custom orthotics?

Some footwear may be able to accommodate orthotics, but compatibility depends on both the shoe and the orthotic device. It is important to confirm fit before use, particularly if you have been prescribed custom orthotics.

Do I need a prescription for orthopaedic shoes?

Requirements can vary depending on the footwear, your needs, and whether you are seeking coverage through a benefits plan. Contact ProMED for guidance on current product availability and any documentation that may be helpful for your situation.
