Innovative Footwear, Clinically Validated Relief
When foot pain limits your life, you need more than promises. You need solutions that work. Orthofeet invests in rigorous research and development, partnering with leading institutions like the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Applied Biomechanics Laboratory and Baylor College of Medicine to deliver clinically tested footwear solutions.

Biomechanically Proven Stability


In collaboration with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Applied Biomechanics Laboratory, our shoes were put through extensive biomechanical testing and the results speak for themselves:

  • 15% reduction in mediolateral (side-to-side) sway during balance tests, indicating significantly improved postural control.
  • 18% more ankle stability during challenging walking tasks, including treadmill perturbation tests.

Participants reported smoother movement, enhanced balance, and greater stability, validating Orthofeet’s commitment to performance-backed comfort. [1]

Demonstrated Pain Relief and Increased Activity

In collaboration with Baylor College of Medicine, our shoes were tested and shown to significantly reduce chronic foot pain compared to participants' regular footwear, leading to a notable increase in daily physical activity.

  • 25% reduction in chronic foot pain
  • 15% improvement in overall activity levels

Participants wearing Orthofeet shoes increased their daily steps by an average of nearly 700, with an additional daily energy expenditure of 177 kcal/day. Clear evidence of enhanced comfort and support driving real-world results. [2]
