Recovery Orthotic Slides
Support doesn’t stop when your shoes come off.
Our clinic stocked recovery slides from Archline and Lightfeet are selected as a supportive alternative for home and casual wear, helping maintain alignment and reduce strain during everyday activities.
Podiatrist Recommended
With built-in arch support, cushioning and gentle heel elevation, they’re particularly helpful for people managing plantar fasciitis, heel pain, or Achilles irritation, those who wear orthotics but want to let their feet breath or for anyone whose feet need a break from flat, unsupportive footwear around the house. Archline and Lightfeet are a generous fit and wider than other similar recovery slides.
Stable Everyday Walking
Vitasole Icarus is a neutral, everyday walking shoe chosen for comfort that lasts beyond the first few steps.
It’s light and cushioned, but more importantly, it holds its shape and support over a full day on your feet. The breathable knit upper allows room without feeling sloppy, while the stable midsole and subtle carbon plate provide gentle energy return without over-correction or aggressive design.
With a medium, roomy fit and removable supportive insole, it works well for regular walking, long periods of standing and for people wearing orthotics who want a sensible, reliable base to start from. The black variety are a solid work option.
All-Day Walking Comfort
The Vitasole Walker III is a lightweight, supportive everyday walking shoe designed for comfort over longer periods on your feet. With enhanced mid-sole cushioning and a more durable rubber outsole, it offers reliable underfoot support for daily wear, whether you’re walking, working, or simply staying active. The gentle meta-rocker sole helps create a smoother stride, reducing pressure through the foot as you move. An adjustable lace-up design, padded textile lining, and removable insert allow for a comfortable, adaptable fit, making it a sensible option for those who value stability, durability and all-day comfort.
