Orthofeet Lava review

The Orthofeet Lava is the pick for walkers whose feet hurt, swell or simply do not fit standard shoes. Orthofeet sells the men's Lava in Medium (D), Wide (2E) and X-Wide (4E), and every pair includes an arch booster that slides under the orthotic insole and removable spacers to fix a loose fit or heel slippage. The upper is a stretchable knitted fabric over an extra deep, seam-free interior, and the Ortho-Cushion System combines multilayer cushioning with anatomical arch support. Orthofeet lists walking, dog walks, errands and travel among what the shoe does best, and its page names conditions such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, diabetes and neuropathy. It was $99.99 on sale against a $139 regular price, with a 60-day wear test, free returns and HSA/FSA eligibility. The trade-off is weight: 12.06 oz for a men's 9, the heaviest on this list. Rated 4.2 from 6,145 reviews.
