You may be asking, “what are orthopaedic shoes?” Orthopedic shoes help improve foot, ankle, and leg health. They differ from regular shoes because they provide extra structure and cushioning. These factors help reduce the amount of strain placed on the feet. They also feature adjustable straps, laces, and other fastenings to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Supportive, well-fitting footwear plays a vital role in keeping people mobile and pain free. However, wearing appropriate shoes is sometimes not enough for people with certain foot conditions and foot types. If you have foot problems such as foot deformities, toe deformities, a complicated or severe foot injury, extremely wide bunions, an open sore, or a neurological disease that affects your feet you may require orthopaedic shoes.
On average, we take 7,000–10,000 steps per day; each heel strike while walking carries 2.5 times our body weight. Over time, the plantar fascia and many other bone-to-bone ligaments, like the spring ligament, may elastically deform. This deformation can cause the foot to become less stable. Therefore, adjusting and stabilizing the foot is primary in creating the balanced pedal foundation needed to treat low–back pain.
