Chaussures décontractées pour tendon d'Achille

Soft, padded collars featured in all Orthofeet shoes cradle the heel, which alleviates pressure on the Achilles tendon.

Our anatomical orthotic insoles feature superior arch support and help alleviate the strain on the tendon.

Our lightweight soles are made with a heel-to-toe drop that offers a functional heel lift to further reduce tendon strain.

Shoes that reduce pressure on the Achilles tendon with the following design features:

1. Cushioning under the heel. 
2. Arch support to distribute weight more evenly.
3.  A slightly elevated heel that shortens the muscle and reduces range of motion.
4. A roomy toe box to prevent compression of the toes and reduce pressure on the ball of the foot and from there, on the Achilles tendon.
5. Minimal heel-to-toe drop.
6. Lightweight.
