Shoes with arch support or that fit orthotics

[driftingintheair]

Has anyone found a good range of shoes with very good arch supportor that fit orthotics well please? I need both work shoes (not high heels, more brogues and winter boots) and trainers.

I have plantar fasciitis and need to start wearing orthotics, or at the very least shoes with much better arch support.

Budget £50-100.

I used to wear FitFlop and Nike Air, but the formers prices have skyrocketed and even their sales can be a bit pricey still.

Try Vionic. Styles are a bit hit or miss, but I think there are some decent pieces.

The brands my specialist podiatrist recommended are Joya, Finn comfort & some Hoka. None of them win any awards for being fashion forward but are brilliant when you're in the middle of a flare up.Oofos were also recommended as house shoes/slippers.
I've bought Joya burgundy trainers on eBay & they're very comfortable & reasonably ok looking. I have pairs of Adidas platforms & Clarks Torhill Rise that have passed muster with the podiatrist. I will put custom-made insoles in them when they're made.

I have several pairs of Vionic Shoes/Boots too. They're often not terribly comfortable & I think the Vionic Insoles are pretty rubbish. But there are very few other options for arch support heels. The insoles can be removed & custom made insoles can be inserted in all Vionics though.

Basically I stick to shoes that have removable insoles so that I can put my own in. Doesnt matter what brand. The insoles are so big you cant fit them on top of a shoe without taking the bottom insole out

I really notice the difference when I wear shoes where Im not able to do this even if they are with 'support'

The only things I dont need this with is my birkenstock trainers and boots

I use custom orthotics with all my shoes - I can't ever be without them. I use ASICS gel Kayano range for trainers (pricey but worth it), fitflops and hotter for work. These are my go-to. I have few Clarks but only wear them briefly as they are nowhere as comfortable.

I have worn orthotics for over fifteen years. There are lots of brand that support orthotics, you just need reasonably sturdy shoes which have removable insoles. A lot of Clarks shoe, Hotter, most trainer brands, etc, etc. Sketcher do models with high arches. A lot of these brands are in outlet stores like Boundary Mill.

If you are sensible and wear your orthotics most of time, you can get away without it sometimes - I wear sandals without them in summer and occasionally wear other types of shoes for special events.

My NHS told me that a lot of people undo all their good work by wearing slippers/house shoes without orthotics when they are at home. Get yourself a good pair of something to wear indoors with your orthotics (I wear a pair of furry Sketcher boots) and you have much more leeway to cheat when you go out.

I have enormous orthotics and can't be without them. Rieker shoes and boots are brilliant if they have the removable insoles. DON'T rely on the yes/no on the information on the webpage though - it's often wrong and more of them are removable than not, especially the Evolution line. Fitflop as well and plenty of Clarks.
Oofos sliders are good for round the house, the arch support and comfort is fantastic and they now do cosy slippers as well.

Oofos slides are like walking on supportive squishy clouds. I love the fact you can rock slightly forwards & backwards in them due to the rocker sole. The only issue is they're narrow so I've now switched over to the clogs for home wear. These are very popular in hospital theatre staff apparently. In summer I will buy the flipflops.

Asics has several good ones that provide very good arch support and are suitable for people with large body weights.
