Orthofeet Review

The words ‘orthopedic’ shoes’ do not conjure up images of high fashion – let’s be honest. That said, there are some occasions where the function must supersede form. The truth is, although we may all like to wear heals from morning to night – and there is nothing more sophisticated than a perfectly polished brogue or designer loafer – there is a reason why orthopedic footwear exists…comfort and health. See our Orthofeet shoes reviews to learn more!

About Orthofeet

Orthofeet is a niche brand providing tried and tested footwear products for those who need that extra comfort or support. Whether you have flat feet, a high in-step, back problems, bad posture, or just very sensitive feet – Orthofeet have you covered.

As a brand, they have created what you might call an antidote to foot discomfort, at the very least they are one of the best options currently on the market for good foot health and overall foot protection.

They claim to have done the research – and we mean research with a capital R! Calling in the big guns by working with medics, designers, and engineers to construct a state-of-the-art range that is designed to alleviate pain and offer added care for your feet.

Many will be relieved to know that Othofeet is ideal for those who like long walks and hikers – as well as those who spend long periods of time on their feet: nurses, shop assistants, security guards, and public speakers.

The one issue you may find with this brand is that they really are all about comfort/function. To be blunt, when it comes to forming…let’s just say they may not be your very first choice in the style department.

That’s not to say that some of their footwear designs do not hold some aesthetic appeal, they are just not up to the standard of those currently trending on the high street or on the pages of fashion magazines. Continue reading our Orthofeet shoes reviews to find out about the products.

Orthofeet Men’s Shoe Review

There is one thing that the team at Orthofeet does very well – that is to provide a wide range of men’s active footwear for those with unusual shoe sizes (especially when it comes to width). Orthofeet offers standard, wide, extra wide, and xx wide.

They also offer vegan-friendly options, waterproof designs, and stretchy materials. Orthofeet is a great option for men who are of more advanced age – whether they suffer from orthopedic-related issues or not. For example, heel pain can be a big issue when you’re walking long distances in the wrong shoes.

The men’s orthopedic shoes, boots, and sandals contain superior cushioning with an orthotics insole. There is also a range of sandals and slippers to choose from.

If you have a taste for very bright colors, you may be disappointed as most of the designs come in muted tones of brown, black, and grey.

If that is not a top priority for you, with inbuilt additions like lightweight air cushioning insoles, anatomical arch support, heel pain relief, and anti-microbial fabric and foam, you won’t be disappointed. Furthermore, if you have flat feet, bad posture or your back hurts, these shoes will surely help to ease the pain.

Orthofeet has filled a real gap in the market for a range of footwear that really has you covered when it comes to foot comfort.

Orthofeet Women’s Shoes Review

If you love sparkly, high-heeled shoes but you have bunions the size of beans – we know, it can be tough. So getting about on a day-to-day basis, Orthofeet will give you the extra comfort you need (if not the sparkle).

The range of orthotic shoes for women includes a wide box (at the front of the shoe) to give extra space for toes, a heel strap to aid heel support where needed and even a tie-less lace addition on the Orthofeet sneakers.

Yes, you simply pull the strap over to remove the shoes – no lacing needed! For most women who have had to deal with hard materials, high heels, pointy toes, and uncomfortable straps this selection really is a breath of fresh… or rather a warm foot hug.

There is so much to love about the Orthofeet women’s shoe range, from the seamless soft padded interior (which prevents skin irritation) to the microfiber for breathability.

The range includes sneakers, boots, Orthofeet slippers, and sandals – your feet can be taken care of regardless of the situation or the environment.

Orthofeet Socks Review

Since we want to cover in this Orthofeet shoes reviews the brand offers, here’s another stop! Not only shoes, but Orthofeet also offer a range of footwear products like their bio-soft comfort bamboo socks. If you have developed bunions or suffer from diabetes-related foot issues, these socks are for you.

They offer a wider fit around the ankle and leg which is ideal for those who cannot have any restriction to their blood circulation. There is a soft padded base made from bamboo fibers and smooth toe seams to prevent damage to the skin caused by friction or irritation.

For those with painful bunions, Orthofeet’s split-toe bunion socks include a seam between the first and second toes. This separation is non-binding and non-constrictive, but they offer relief and some correction by straightening the big toe and keeping it away from the other toes.

The socks are designed to be super soft, and thinner so that they can be comfortably worn with shoes whilst still being protective.

Women’s Socks Review

Again, for those women who like to experiment with color, style and print – Orthofeet will not give you what you desire on this front. The range is limited to muted tones of brown, grey and white.

That said, the brand balance this out (somewhat) with their attention to detail in the design of their socks. In fact, the socks for women have lots of plus points – they are extra roomy, have padded soles, are soft and come in casual or dress designs.

There are even foot warmer socks for those who want them. Who cares if they are not pretty? Well, some of us do. But again, the trade-off may be worth it.

Men’s Socks Review

The range of socks for men is the same as for women – functional, comfortable and designed for foot protection over all else.

For those men who need to wear work shoes a lot, the non-constricting fit and the soft material should help with discomfort caused by tougher materials or heavy work boots.

If soft warm and cozy is your jam – especially if you are a manual laborer or are constantly outdoors in challenging weather conditions – a pair of the Orthfeet socks should make your day a little easier.

Orthofeet Sizing

When it comes to sizing, Orthofeet offers a pretty good range of options. For women, the size ranges from 3 – 12 and for men a 7 – 15. They also cater for various foot widths, from narrow to XX-Wide.

Orthofeet suggests that despite foot issues, customers should order the size they normally wear. They also suggest that if shoe sizes fit between their sizes, to size up rather than down.

This is because most of their footwear includes spacers that allow you to tighten the shoe or eliminate heel slippage. If you get the wrong size, never fear – Orthofeet offers free delivery and free returns for dissatisfied customers.

Orthofeet Shoes Reviews from Customers

There is no doubt that Orthofeet has provided a lot of relief for a number of happy customers. Of course, there are several orthofeet shoe reviews to be found on the Orthofeet website.

Here are a few who say they have benefited from their designs:
‘Beyond satisfied with my purchase. I have suffered from plantar fasciitis and heel spurs for 2 years. Have tried everything from physical therapy, splints, braces, medications to many shoes and inserts to name. …I ordered OrthroFeet out of desperation.

The moment I put them on, I had relief. I was able to easily do two 12 hour days in the parks. I was beyond amazed and GRATEFUL.’

‘These shoes are just what I needed. They hug and cushion my feet and have great arch support and cushioning for my heel. I have Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot, and the design of this shoe makes walking 3-4 miles every other day a dream!

‘After two weeks of wear, I can say these are the most comfortable shoes I own. I have less heel spur and arthritis pain while wearing these shoes.’

What Others Said About Orthofeet Shoes

That said, there are also a few Orthofeet Shoe Reviews found on Trustpilot that highlight a few improvements that could be made to the design of the shoes. The main focus is making them more durable:

‘Very comfortable shoes, but not made for long-distance walking. I have had the shoes for about 4 months and already the soles are almost gone. I walk 5 miles a day, 5 days a week.’

‘They were comfortable for about 2 weeks. Then the burning in the balls of my feet came back, they sent a special insert for that for free, but no results. Plus the shoes are already breaking down just like regular tennis shoes do. These shoes only lasted for about a month, was not worth the money.’

Although in this instance, there are some negative reviews – there are far more positive reviews on this brand. These reviews can be found both on their company website and across various online platforms.
