Back Pain Shoes

Back pain shoes are special custom shoes designed to help improve posture and gait. These can be whole shoes or merely inserts for existing shoes. Some experts believe that some forms of back pain are due to bad posture, caused by unnatural foot positioning in poorly designed shoes. Another common name for these shoes for back pain is Orthotic shoes.

Back Pain Shoes

Styles of Back Pain Shoes

Shoes for back pain come in many styles and offer something for everyone. Insoles can be rigid, flexible or even made of soft and comfy gel. The orthotic shoe business is huge and manufacturers are always trying hard to design the perfect pain preventing shoes.

It is especially important to wear proper shoes when exercising. Exercise is one of the biggest causes of foot and ankle injuries. Always make sure to use the correct footwear for every athletic activity.

Please read more about shoe inserts for back pain.

Orthotic Back Pain Shoes

A good pair of orthotic (or regular) shoes will have certain characteristics. They will fit your feet comfortably, both in length and in width. They will not be too tight, nor too loose. The arch of the shoe will correspond to the shape of the arch of your foot. The insole will be firm but cushiony and should be comfortable for standing or walking.

Recommendation for Orthotic Shoes

I do not think that the primary cause of most back pain is the shoes a patient wears. However, it can be a contributing factor to the pain. If you wear 6” heels on a daily basis, you might be in for some problems long term. Be sensible and wear good quality shoes that fit your feet correctly. If you have sensitive feet or numerous foot problems, then orthotic shoes might be perfect for you. I would recommend seeing a qualified Podiatrist for advice on foot treatments using special shoes or inserts. Wearing only high quality shoes are also a popular method of reducing the variety of foot pain syndromes which can occur.
