Orthopaedic footwear is designed to provide additional support, comfort and accommodation for people who may need more from their everyday shoes than standard footwear provides.
At ProMED Wellness Centre in North York, we offer orthopaedic and supportive footwear options with fit, function and everyday mobility in mind.
Supportive or orthopaedic footwear may include features intended to provide improved stability, additional internal space, a supportive sole or a fit that better accommodates individual foot needs.
The exact features vary between products, which is why choosing footwear based only on appearance or shoe size may not be enough. Comfort, foot shape, intended activity and any additional supports being used should also be considered.
Properly fitting footwear should provide enough room for the foot without excessive movement inside the shoe. Width, depth, heel fit and toe space can all affect comfort during walking and standing.
If custom orthotics are being used, it is also important to consider whether the footwear provides enough internal space to accommodate the orthotic comfortably.
Supportive footwear may be considered by people looking for additional stability, comfort or accommodation during everyday activity.

Modern orthopaedic and supportive footwear is available in a range of styles, and many designs look similar to conventional everyday shoes.
