Arch support generally refers to the part of the insole of the shoe that raises right at the level of the arch to provide support to the midfoot. Arch support also refers to individual insole cups with a molded shape that fit the arch and are placed inside the shoe to help relieve foot or heel pain.
About Diabetic Shoes:
Diabetic shoes are footwear designed with the ability to adjust depth and/or width for ease in fit and comfort through the use of linings and moldable inserts, which allow the footwear to conform to the foot's shape. The flexibility in diabetic shoes is ideal for people with poor circulation, risks of infections, or diabetic neuropathy (a condition where nerves have gone to sleep due to the lack of oxygen).
Orthofeet 581 Worth the money!!

Reviewer: OE from Orlando, FL
For decades I have been had a foot problem called "supination", which simply means that I walk on the outsides of my feet. Over a period of time, foot and knee problems can develop. By using special inserts along with the Orthofeet boots, my foot problem has greatly improved!! These boots are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. The thick cushioning material of the boot combined with the wide toe box make my feet and knees very happy. I will definitely order another pair when these wear out!!

This shoe supports a heavy man better than any other shoe I've ever worn. Medium size fit my fairly wide feet better than wide.Highly recommend.

I have high arches so was looking for a shoe that had good arch support. These are to be worn while traveling and walking on cobblestones. That is a true test. Have been wearing these shoes every day and they are very comfortable and not at all "ortho" looking.

Propet LifeWalker Strap Reliable, comfortable shoe
March 14, 2013
Reviewer: GML from NYC
Same as always, which is why I keep buying these Propet Lifewalker Strap shoes. I do need to stretch the shoe a bit in front, but this is due to the marked asymetry of my feet, so much wider in front.
