Why Orthofeet
Podiatrist-designed comfort built into every pair.
Hands-free step-in
Patented firm-heel design lets you slip in without bending or tying. Tie the laces once to set your fit, then just step in.
Ortho-Cushion™ System
Bio-engineered arch support and multi-layer cushioning absorb impact heel-to-toe, easing pressure and fatigue on long days.
Removable insole
Take out the anatomical insole to make room for your own custom orthotics, or use fitting spacers to fine-tune the fit.
Wide toe box, seam-free
Extra depth and a roomy, seam-free interior take pressure off bunions, hammertoes, and sensitive or swollen feet.
Available in wide widths
Most styles come in Medium, Wide, and Extra Wide, so you get support without squeezing.

Wear them at home and see how they feel. If they are not right, call us and we will make it right with an exchange or a refund. We also offer free phone fittings with our Certified Pedorthist.

What patients are saying
So kind, patient and helpful
"Tim, the owner, was so kind and patient and very helpful! My mom got a pair of OrthoFeet Nira sneakers and she was so happy!!! She's been dealing with bursitis, tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis so we were so happy to find a local shop where she could try on a good pair of shoes. Highly recommend!!!!!"
12+ hours on my feet without pain
"What a fabulous store, owned by a father and his daughter. I recently started a job in healthcare, requiring I be on my feet for 12+ hours per shift, and my feet felt broken after three days in a row. Both the owner and his daughter were so friendly and helpful, and the owner really knew his stuff! Just in the few minutes of trying on shoes that actually fit MY feet, I could already tell the difference."
Above & beyond service
"Thank you so much to the Manager of Comfort Footworks in Matthew's NC. She went the extra mile in customer service! She hand delivered our elderly mom's orthopedic sneakers to her nursing home room. I am in Savannah Ga and couldn't pick up the shoes. Seniors are often a forgotten group of people. Thank you so much for treating her to this surprise."

Details
Orthofeet Rex, a men's wingtip-style shoe in stretch knit with Orthofeet's hands-free heel. Step down on the heel, it gives, then springs back and holds. It looks like a dress shoe from across the room and fits like a sock, which is the point for a foot that cannot stand a stiff upper.
Water-repellent knit that stretches over a bunion or a swollen forefoot. Ortho-Cushion sole with a mild rocker, removable orthotic insole, extra-depth last, padded interior. Takes a custom orthotic.
Medium, Wide or X-Wide? The knit forgives a little, so Medium (D) works if your regular shoes fit across the ball of the foot. Wide (2E) if you size up for room or have a bunion. X-Wide (4E) for a bulky orthotic, swelling, or extra-depth. Call (704) 846-0301 and I will talk you through it.
Stocked in Blue and Black, sizes 7 to 14 in half sizes to 12. Screened and stocked by Paul Henderson, C.Ped, at our Matthews, NC store. Need real leather for the office? Claude or Xavier. If width is the sticking point, my width guide walks through it.
