How to choose an orthopedic sandal ? |  |
Good orthopedic sandals have five main characteristics: sufficient width, good support, a light heel, a removable insole and a soft material. These orthopedic models for women or men, also known as therapeutic shoes, provide an effective response to the specific needs of sensitive feet. If your feet are painful, wearing orthopedic sandals will allow you to regain walking comfort at an affordable price. Podexpert explains how to choose your orthopedic sandals.
To ensure the comfort of your sensitive feet, the width of the forefoot is an essential element to take into account. In the case of wide, swollen or deformed feet, standard shoes tend to compress your foot. This compression phenomenon limits blood circulation and causes foot pain.
Whether you have a standard or wide foot, an orthopedic sandal must provide support without compressing your foot. At Podexpert, our leather or synthetic models are available in different widths. Our products allow you to benefit from a comfortable shoe perfectly adapted to your morphology.
The support of your foot is essential to ensure your stability and limit the risk of falling. If the size must be adapted to the size of your foot, an orthopedic comfort sandal also offers an effective closing system.
Orthopedic sandals usually have two adjustable Velcro straps on the instep. Some models also allow you to adjust the strap on the back of your foot. For maximum stability, orthopedic sandals that are closed at the heel are recommended.
If your foot tends to swell over the course of the day, opt for a Velcro-type closure. This system allows you to adjust the volume of the shoe as your foot changes.
When choosing a pair of orthopedic sandals, the insole is an important feature to consider. To ensure walking comfort, opt for a cushioning and breathable insole.
Above all, make sure that the product offers removable insoles inside. Indeed, in case of sensitive feet, custom-made orthopedic insoles are often prescribed. Your orthopedic sandals should therefore allow you to replace the original insole with your own foot orthotics.

If you have sensitive feet, high heels should not be worn. Indeed, these models tend to shift the weight of the body onto the forefoot and generate pain. However, a slight heel (less than four centimeters) helps maintain proper posture. A small heel also promotes good blood circulation.
At Podexpert, our selection of orthopedic sandals allows you to benefit from an ideal heel size for your comfort.
For your comfort, a pair of orthopedic sandals must be made of quality materials. Choose a soft material, particularly recommended in case of toe deformities or hallux valgus.
