Whether you’re aging or simply experiencing foot pain, forcing yourself to buy orthopedic shoes can be tricky. They’re often unattractive, and let’s face it: they can really make you feel old. But these days, there are so many cute orthopedics that look just like a typical sneaker. With more arch support, they won’t leave you in pain at the end of the day. From retro styles to tennis shoes, there’s seriously something for everyone.
Oh, and we forgot to mention: each of these options is well under $100. So they won’t run your bank account dry. And best of all, pretty soon, foot pain will be but a distant memory.
7 Cute Orthopedics Sneakers For Every Activity
1. Retro: STQ’s retro-style vegan leather sneakers look designer, but pssst… they’re actually orthopedic! The arch support insole provides the support your knees and back need.
2. Ace: Who said you had to give up tennis for foot pain? Surray’s tennis sneakers aim to mitigate plantar fasciitis pain, heel pain and more. They’re also stylish (TBH we love the all-white ones!). Your opponent won’t know what hit ’em.
3. Ahoy: This boat shoe-sneaker combo will make you feel like a captain. They’re ultra-lightweight and provide the arch support you need to stay upright all day, with a semi-preppy look to them. Land ho!
4. Walk It Out: Get your daily steps in with STQ’s wide toe box walking shoes. They look just like any generic walking shoe, but they have extra arch support. And the wide toe box is a bonus if you deal with bunions.
5. Hands-Free: It can be our little secret that STQ’s slip-ons are slip-ons. That’s right—they do have laces on the upper, but those are just for show. Instead, you can slide them on, and while doing so, the ultra-flexible material will comfortably cling to your feet.
6. Track Star: Runners often face chronic foot pain, so if you need to up the ante for support, OrthoComfoot Running Shoes are a great option. They look like any other sneakers, too—none of your running group friends will know they’re orthopedics.
7. Most Affordable: Save your money, honey! Takeberny’s Orthopedic Shoes are the cheapest on the list. But with a design that’s reminiscent of Louis Vuitton, nobody will know the difference.
