What Are Orthopedic Shoes?
Orthopedic shoes are custom-adapted footwear, designed and modified according to the specific pathologies of a client’s feet, with the goal of providing personalized solutions for a wide range of orthopedic issues. Every aspect related to comfort and fit is taken into account and measured with millimeter-level precision.
There are two main types of orthopedic shoes:
A. Custom-Built Orthopedic Shoes – Shoes built from scratch based on a personal mold.
These shoes are crafted individually for each foot. The process includes personalized data collection using precise measurements taken with plaster casting and a polymer glove molded directly onto the client’s foot, creating a three-dimensional profile. The shoe is designed to correct foot angles, compensate for deformities, assist in managing various medical conditions, and address imbalance, gait difficulties, and pain resulting from improper walking. The custom insole is integrated into the base of the shoe as an essential component.
Clients may choose the shoe’s color and design (as long as the design does not compromise the orthopedic functionality). The shoes are made from top-quality leathers and materials, and the data collection technology used in the design process is among the most advanced in the world.
As with custom-built shoes and shoe enhancement processes, a rigorous quality control procedure is followed. After the shoe is produced, the client is invited for a fitting session and ongoing follow-up appointments to evaluate the shoe’s effectiveness and ensure continued balance and comfort.
Enhanced Comfort Shoes
These are comfort shoes that have been modified for personal orthopedic adaptation. Shoe enhancement refers to the process of adjusting and upgrading a comfort shoe to better suit the individual structure and needs of the client’s feet.
Each foot is unique. Often, when purchasing shoes, we compromise on the comfort of one foot to accommodate the other. Differences between the two feet can cause discomfort, and in many cases, additional adjustments are needed beyond what a standard off-the-shelf shoe offers. The enhancement process is completed by adding custom-made insoles tailored specifically for the client.
Examples of possible shoe enhancements include: reinforcements, stiffening, internal or external elevation, shoe widening, adding a rocker sole, changing the shoe’s closure method, and more. At Avidor’s main branches, great effort is made to combine these orthopedic solutions with aesthetic appeal — spreading this approach throughout the entire network.
This is where Avidor’s expertise truly shines: upgrading and enhancing comfort shoes using advanced technologies. The company’s specialists regularly attend international conferences to stay updated on evolving technologies and trends in the orthopedic world — always seeking new ways to innovate and improve in service of their clients.
