NAOT
The Podiatrists at Healthy Shoe Store online recommend the NAOT series of walking and hiking shoes. NAOT shoes provide hallux support and are made with deep heel indentations on an elevated foot bed. These give the wearer the benefit of gait correction.
NAOT shoes have removable footbeds, allowing you to customize your arch beds and support. NAOT offers models for men, women and kids. The Eden and Origin lines are solid options for walking and hiking shoes that provide support for heel spurs and pain.

Mephisto shoes are recommended choices from both Healthy Shoes and FootSmart podiatrists. Mephisto shoes are designed solely--no pun intended--for walking. Customized orthotics, raised footbeds and heel cups provide needed relief to the heel spur sufferer.
Mephisto offers shoes for men, women and children. All natural materials go into the production of the shoes, including leather, cork and rubber.
Professional podiatrists custom mold the orthotics or you can choose to get self-molded inserts and form them at home.
