Pedorthist Recommended Dress Shoes

Comfort & Style at the Office with Orthotic Friendly Dress Shoes

Even the Pedorthists at SoleScience would agree that choosing dress shoes can be difficult. It sometimes feels like we have to choose between comfort and style; we all want a shoe that looks nice, but we want our feet to be comfortable too! Dress shoes are often made narrower and shallower than our other shoes, making it harder to find a good fit, especially for those with foot pain. Also, not all footwear options have a removable insole to accommodate for your orthotic insoles.

 

Lucky for you, (and us too!), there ARE casual and dress shoes that look nice and fit your orthotics, so you can look good AND feel good all day long.

Men’s shoes often are a bit easier as they typically have similar shapes between running shoes and dress shoes. The key point is finding a shoe with a removable insole. Here is a highlight of what is available:

Clark’s Unsheridan Go with Removable OrthoLite Footbed

This streamlined dress shoe has a full-grain leather upper featuring a discreet ventilation system to keep your feet cool and comfortable. The removable OrthoLite footbed absorbs shock and wicks moisture while the rubber outsole provides durability without added bulk.

 

Women’s Orthotic Dress Shoes

Women’s dress shoes can be a bit more difficult to find the right fit for your foot. With so many different shapes and styles, finding a comfortable and fashionable dress shoe to fit your orthotics can be a bit trickier. Here are a few options to get you started:
