Orthopaedic shoes has been designed to aid drop foot patient correct the position of their dropped foot. They automatically raises the anterior part of the foot as the step is completed.
This effect is obtained by the application to the sole of a strip of metal joined to a spring concealed in the heel of the shoe, which keeps the anterior part of the shoe in dorsiflexion.
When the patient rests his foot on the ground, the shoe aligns itself with the ground. When the patient lifts his leg in walking, the recoil of the spring raises the anterior part of the shoe.
Shoes are equally as important to people who are suffering from heel spurs pain.
Some of the brands that we recommend are, Orthofeet for their orthopaedic comfort, Birkenstock sandals for their comfort support, Clarks for affordable comfort, New Balance, Saucony and Asics for their walking and running shoes.
