Can I use my own orthotics?

Yes — the extra-depth design is specifically made to accommodate custom orthotics.

What if they're uncomfortable?

Orthofeet offers a 60-day comfort guarantee — return them if not satisfied.

When does the right footwear become medically necessary rather than a comfort preference for a senior?

For seniors with diabetes, the risk of a pressure sore from an ill-fitting shoe progressing to a serious foot wound is significant — diabetic foot complications are a leading cause of hospitalisation in older adults. Extra-depth shoes with wide toe boxes reduce pressure on bunions, hammer toes, and neuropathic feet.
