Why Choosing the Right Orthopaedic Shoes Matters
For many Australians, investing in orthopaedic shoes means being able to stay active, independent and comfortable without sacrificing style. Unlike standard footwear, these shoes focus on alignment, pressure distribution and long-term comfort. Quality ortho shoes use advanced cushioning, supportive soles and thoughtful construction to reduce strain on feet, knees and lower back.
Orthopaedic Shoe Styles
Our range of orthopaedic shoe styles is designed to support different lifestyles, activities and foot health needs. Whether you’re looking for everyday comfort, warm-weather support or added stability, each style combines thoughtful design with long-lasting comfort.
Orthopaedic Walking Shoes
Featuring lightweight mesh or leather uppers, our walking shoes use shock-absorbing midsoles and removable cushioned insoles to reduce stress on feet and joints during everyday wear. Choices include lace-up, Velcro and slip-on walking ortho shoes for versatile wear.
Orthopaedic Sandals
Our collection of orthopaedic sandals, with select DVA-approved styles, offers adjustable straps and cushioned footbeds for comfortable arch support and summer wear. The moulded footbeds provide stability and shock absorption with every step. You can customise the fit with fully adjustable supple leather straps. These supportive, lightweight sandals will keep you comfortable all day long while walking the beach or strolling around town.
Orthopaedic Boots
Providing stability and ankle support, our orthopaedic boot options include both casual short boots as well as taller orthopaedic work boots. They are made with quality leathers and available in wider-width fittings for those with bunions.
We offer men's and women's options across all orthopaedic shoe styles in sizes 5–13 and widths from X-Narrow to X-Wide to provide the perfect fit.
Orthopaedic Shoe Technology
Our orthopaedic shoes feature specialised technologies, including:
- Contoured Footbeds — Moulded to the natural shape of the foot with raised arch support and cushioned heels.
- Removable Insoles — Anti-microbial and anti-odour removable insoles can be taken out to accommodate custom orthotics.
- Shock Absorption — Midsole cushions absorb impact and reduce pain in the joints, knees, back and hips.
- Diabetic Friendly — Seamless linings and padded collars on our ortho shoes prevent irritation for sensitive diabetic feet.
- Proprietary Stability Insoles — Our unique stability insoles provide greater support and improved motion control.

FAQs
Orthopaedic shoes are designed to support foot structure and alignment and help you manage pain. They typically include firm yet responsive cushioning, arch support, stable soles and removable footbeds.
People with arthritis, diabetes, plantar fasciitis, bunions, flat feet or chronic foot pain often benefit from orthopaedic shoes. They are also ideal for anyone who spends long hours on their feet or experiences discomfort in standard footwear. Wearing supportive ortho shoes early can help prevent issues from worsening over time.
Podiatrists may commonly recommend orthopaedic shoes in AU that offer firm heel counters, good midfoot support, shock-absorbing cushioning and adjustable closures such as laces or Velcro. Shoes that accommodate orthotics and allow natural foot movement are usually preferred.
In Australia, Medicare does not generally cover ortho shoes. However, some people may be eligible for rebates through private health insurance, DVA programs or NDIS support. It’s best to check your individual coverage.
Ortho shoes may help reduce joint pressure and improve stability for people with arthritis. Supportive soles, cushioned footbeds and secure fits can improve comfort and mobility.
