OrthoLite® insoles are made of open cell, lightweight foams that create a cooler, drier shoe interior without adding unwanted bulk or weight. It's comfort from the inside out.
With the Propét EV (extra volume) insole system, customized fit and comfort is easy. Remove the bottom insole to provide a little extra volume or remove both to accommodate custom orthotics.

Features of Orthotics and Orthopedic Shoes
For maximum footwear comfort, orthopedic shoes include features that will help you lead a full and active life. Here are the essential features explained by podiatrist Dr. Po Raval, founder and CEO of Archmaker:
Extra Depth: Propét’s orthopedic shoes have extra depth so that you can fit 1-2 insoles inside. Insoles are built to be flexible and durable so that you have plenty of cushioning and shock absorption. Alternatively, a custom orthotic can be placed inside if needed.
Seam Free: Footwear without a seam ensures that your shoes are not irritating your bones or closing in on swelling feet. Propét’s shoes will move flexibly with your unique feet.
Adjustable: Similar to the seam free feature, Propét’s adjustable shoes allow for the perfect fit so that your feet have plenty of room.
Lightweight: Instead of rubber, which was found to be heavy and result in falls, plastic is lightweight and easy to move in. Many of Propét’s shoes have a plastic composite to ensure you remain injury-free.
Our shoes offer everything you need for enhanced comfort. We believe everyone has the right to walk the dog, jog, run errands, hike, work, take a line-dancing class, mow the lawn, travel, or even play a game of hopscotch, really whatever you want, without foot pain. Our supportive shoes can help you lead full and active lives without fearing for the health of their feet.
Keep your feet pain-free and healthy with Propét’s orthopedic shoes.
