Ortho shoes are specially designed shoes that provide support, cushioning, and stability for people with foot problems. They are often prescribed by podiatrists to treat a variety of conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and bunions.
There are a variety of ortho shoes available, including:
- Over-the-counter ortho shoes: These are available at most pharmacies and shoe stores.
- Custom-made ortho shoes: These are made by a podiatrist to fit the individual needs of the wearer.
- Prescribed ortho shoes: These are prescribed by a podiatrist and are covered by insurance.
When choosing ortho shoes, it is important to consider the following:
- Your foot condition: The type of ortho shoes you need will depend on your foot condition.
- Your lifestyle: If you are active, you will need ortho shoes that provide support and cushioning.
- Your budget: Ortho shoes can range in price from $50 to $500.
The ortho shoe market is expected to grow to $5 billion by 2025. This growth is being driven by the increasing prevalence of foot problems and the growing awareness of the benefits of ortho shoes.
There are a few things you can do to maximize the efficiency of your ortho shoes:
- Wear ortho shoes with a heel: Heels help to distribute weight more evenly across the foot.
- Wear ortho shoes with a wide toe box: A wide toe box gives your toes room to move and prevents them from being squished.
- Wear ortho shoes with arch support: Arch support helps to stabilize the foot and reduce pain.
