We’re here to educate you on why that’s the case and walk you through all of the various styles of men’s orthopedic shoes so that you can see that orthopedic shoes truly have to offer. At Vionic, we’ve designed everything from men’s orthopedic dress shoes to slippers so that you never have to choose between the support you need and the styles you love. We believe that shoes and foot health should be one and the same and that everyone deserves to have shoes that make them look and feel great. With our men’s orthopedic shoes, you can have both!
We want to educate you on the features that distinguish our orthopedic shoes and introduce you to a handful of the best stylish orthopedic shoes for men. Below is an introductory guide to the features you’ll find in our orthopedic shoes that are absent from many shoes, the range of styles of men’s orthopedic shoes, and our picks for the best orthopedic shoes for men.
An Introduction to the Orthopedic Difference
Before you can get to shopping for the perfect pair of men’s orthopedic shoes, we want to first walk you through what the differences are between Vionic’s orthotic shoes and other comfortable footwear. We believe that the orthopedic difference provides you with remarkable benefits that can improve your foot health and we want to make sure we arm you with that information so that you can make an informed decision.
Have you ever worn a pair of shoes that seemed relatively comfortable only to take them off later and have aching, sore feet? You’re not alone! This is a fairly common occurrence for many of us and usually, there are two main culprits: wearing men’s shoes that lack the supportive infrastructure your feet need to be truly comfortable or wearing shoes that don’t fit your feet properly (or both). Orthopedic leisure and work shoes address both of these issues by having the supportive technology your feet need built-in and being designed to create a comfortable, ideal environment for your feet. While cheap, unsupportive footwear sometimes has a narrow toe box that causes your feet to be pushed together, our orthopedic footwear has a toe box that comfortably houses all of your toes without cramming them together. This helps prevent many common foot issues, such as bunions, corns, and ingrown toenails.
At Vionic, we’ve made it our mission to create footwear that addresses the unique needs of your feet and offers you comfort all day long in the styles you love. In fact, we’ve built our business on delivering that. So how do our orthopedic shoes offer more than your average pair of footwear? It all comes down to the supportive features that we incorporate into our built-in orthotics. These supportive features help mimic the natural surfaces our feet are accustomed to treading on, like dirt and sand, rather than the hard, man-made surfaces that now dominate our world. Our supportive technology replicates these soft, forgiving surfaces by contouring to your feet and providing comfortable, all day (and night) support. Below is an overview of a few of the most beneficial features that we have in our orthopedic shoes for men.
- A podiatrist-designed footbed in every pair that promotes natural alignment from the ground up. Vionic’s orthotic technology was developed by renowned Australian podiatrist Philip Vasyli who created the first heat-moldable orthotic inserts to help the people he saw every day find relief from their foot pain, knee painf and discomfort. There are over thirty years of research and development behind Vionic’s Orthaheel Technology. Our biomechanical footbed helps support you from the ground up so your feet experience comfort and support with every step and your body maintains proper alignment from your feet up through your ankle and knees.
- A deep heel cup to promote stability. Did you know one of the main factors in your stability is how well supported your feet are? One of the keys to fostering stability with every step is having a deep heel cup that helps support this integral structural element of your feet. Vionic’s supportive shoes do just that so that you have the stability you deserve in every step of every mile.
- A firm, yet flexible, midsole to help optimize your balance. We know that wearing unsupportive shoes can take a toll on your balance because balance begins in your feet. When your feet aren’t properly supported, you can feel much more wobbly and uncertain when you walk as your feet attempt to overexert themselves to create balance without proper. This is a problem that demanded a solution, which is why we integrated a firm, yet, flexible, midsole into our Vionic footwear to help optimize your balance.
- Substantial arch support that hugs your natural arch. We know the arch of your foot plays a vital role in your foot health, which is why we paid special attention to this structural element of the foot. Did you know the arch of your feet bears two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand pounds of pressure with every mile you walk? The arch of your feet is essential for helping to absorb the shock that is exerted on your feet with every step you take, navigate the transitions between different surfaces, and maintain stability and balance. When your arch is not properly supported, it can have dire consequences and result in painful foot conditions like plantar fasciitis. We want to help make sure you never have to suffer the foot pain that comes from an unsupported arch, which is why our orthotics have substantial arch support that contours to your natural footprint, serving a similar service as custom orthotics.
Now that you know what the Vionic difference is, we want to walk you through some of the styles of the men’s orthopedic shoes that are available to meet your needs.
