What makes a pair of shoes “orthopedic” and how are these types of shoes different from regular shoes?
Orthopedic footwear is a general term for shoes that are manufactured with certain characteristics and features that support the mechanics and structure of the foot. An orthopedic shoe usually includes a good rigid midsole and outsole, firm heel counter, and a removable insole to accommodate custom orthotics. Orthopedic shoes are typically available in a variety of widths and shapes to fit various foot types.
Characteristics

Special configuration: Two portions of the shoes are very uniquely designed, one which is in touch with the foot and second which is in contact with the ground
-
Openings:: They are characterized by openings along with multiple removable closures to them for the accommodation of unusual problems.
-
Supporting arch:: Orthopedic shoes contain a flexible sole which is formed in such a manner that the arch and inside heel portions are moderately elevated.
