WALKHERO shoes deliver excellent arch support without the need for thick inserts or expensive, custom orthotics.
Superior arch support starts with our patented Foot-Care™ technology, which delivers natural cushioning and dynamically hugs your heel with every step. Every foot is unique, and our built-in orthotic insoles adapt to fit your needs by being matched for your unique foot geometry for superior support with customized layers of cushioning and arch support.
For the greatest comfort, we recommend wearing your new WALKHERO footwear for just a few hours for the first few days to allow your feet to adjust to the new level of orthotic comfort and support. Within 1-2 weeks you should find the product completely comfortable and supportive.
WALKHERO insoles are made of a flexible material called EVA (ethyl vinyl acetate).
The key advantage of EVA is that it is supportive and 'giving' at the same time! As you apply weight to the foot, there is a certain amount of 'give' in WALKHERO insoles and shoes, providing shock absorption to the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and back. This makes the device much more comfortable and more natural compared to hard insoles. Yet, at the same time, they are firm enough to realign the foot and allow you to claim back your natural footprint.
Because WALKHERO insoles and sandals are somewhat flexible, they will need to be replaced every 12-18 months. Older people or those with sensitive feet will benefit from a softer type of orthotic such as WALKHERO, as they may have difficulty tolerating anything hard under the foot.
Due to the anatomical shape of the Orthotic insoles, custom orthotics with a rounded heel fit best inside our shoes. If the underside of the custom orthotic (the part that sits on the footbed) is squared off, then it may not fit into our deep heel cup—which is rounded like your foot.
That said, many of our customers tell us the Foot-Care™ technology offers better support and stability than they expected, and that they don't need to wear their custom orthotics with WALKHERO shoes.
We are unable to fulfill any replacement footbed, insoles or sockliners requests at this time. But we have been selling the insoles that are designed for wider, high-volume shoes, such as work boots, basketball shoes, running shoes, casual shoes, dress shoes. If you need a pair, please check here: https://walkhero.com/collections/all-insoles

There are only a few stores that carry our shoes, however, you can order our shoes online risk-free because we offer free shipping, exchanges, and returns.
To clean our products, we recommend you wipe with a damp cloth and air dry under indirect sunlight.
We DO NOT recommend the following:
Submerging in water or using solvents to clean products.
Exposing products to extreme temperatures.
Commercial dry cleaning or home wash/dry laundry machines.
Eliminate odor and effectively clean and deodorize footbeds by stopping cell growth and multiplication of bacteria and fungi which can cause odor and itchiness.
Preventative measures are best here. But in the event that you do find your sandals have taken on an odor, we recommend giving the footbeds a good scrub with a mild soap diluted in warm water. Be sure to let your shoes air dry naturally. Do not place them near a heat source or in direct sunlight.
To keep your socks looking and smelling fresh, machine wash on cold with like colors. Do not bleach, do not iron, and do not tumble dry.
For canvas, we recommend gently brushing the shoe with a soft, damp sponge to remove loose dirt. Stains should be treated immediately with a gentle cleaner. Like wool, we do not recommend machine-washing.

We work very hard to keep our sizing consistent across our collection, and most of our styles fit true to size. If you are unsure about sizing for a specific style, we feature fit tips under the "sizing" tab on the individual product pages.
We hope these details help you find your perfect fit. If you still have questions, please contact our customer service for additional help, email us: cs@walkhero.com.
View our helpful Shoe Size Conversion Guide.
Our shoes and slippers are available in half size. Fit can be a bit difficult to determine, as it is usually your personal preference. In most cases, sizing up to the next size will offer the best fit.
For example, if you wear a 10.5 in shoes, a size 11 will likely fit you best in our sandals and slippers.
Please keep in mind if your feet are narrow or wide, this may affect the fit of our footwear.
'CM' is the size used in Japan. To measure your foot, you should measure in centimeters and refer to the heel-to-toe size in centimeters and cross reference your size for your region.
- Your left and right feet may differ in length or width. Be sure to measure and try shoes on both feet, and always buy shoes to fit your larger foot.
- If your feet seem between sizes, and you cannot decide which size to select, we suggest choosing the larger size. You can adjust for a more personal fit with socks, insoles, or a different lacing pattern.
Note: Because the foot is three-dimensional, any two-dimensional measuring tool, such as a ruler or Brannock device®, can only approximate your shoe size. Manufacturers use different lasts to construct their shoes, and sizing may vary accordingly.
There is no footwear industry standard for shoe size. At WALKHERO, we list shoe sizes in centimeters so you can easily compare sizing with other brands.
Our size chart is linked on every product page above the size list. You can also find it through the link below.
Many of our shoes feature removable insoles, which are ideal for orthotics. To check if a style has a removable insole check out the "features" section on any product page.

The patented Foot-Care™ technology we build into every shoe we make is the foundation for pain-free and all-day comfort. Built-in orthopedic insoles blend premium EVA foam materials to give you cushioning and support in all the right places.
Anti-Microbial Technology is embedded in WALKHERO footwear, it's easy to maintain a clean and healthy environment for your feet. Insoles help prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi and help keep your feet odor free.
WALKHERO footwear proudly features a thick layer of slow recovery that customizes to your particular feet for the ultimate footwear experience.
Those over 50: As we get older, the muscles and ligaments in the foot become weaker, as do the bones due to calcium reduction. In addition, the fatty padding under the foot thins out, which means less protection and cushioning for the bones, in particular the heel bone. Fallen arches combined with thinning fat tissue are a recipe for foot problems. Heel spurs are the most common foot complaints for those over 50.
People who are on their feet all day: Factory workers, nurses, teachers, people in retail, and many other industries are required to stand on their feet for hours each day. Hard, unforgiving surfaces like concrete and asphalt take their toll after prolonged standing even for young and healthy people! Most common complaints are tired, aching feet and legs as well as low back pain. Women who are required to wear dress shoes with heels (e.g., in retail or hospitality) often suffer from pain under the ball of the foot (metatarsalgia) and/or aching legs.
Runners & athletes: Because athletes put so much strain on their muscles and bones and ground reaction forces are much higher (up to 4 times the body weight), biomechanical injuries are more the rule than the exception. Insoles play a major role in preventing sports injuries such as Achilles Tendonitis, shin splints, and problems in and around the knee joint. Plus, running pain-free enables any athlete to perform better!
High-heel wearers: Most women know that high heels are not good for their feet, however, many women do wear them. Common symptoms occurring from wearing high heels are pain in the back of the legs (and shortening of the calf muscles over the long term), ball of foot pain, and pain under the arch and the heel. Vionic Slimfit insoles are specifically designed to reduce discomfort associated with heeled shoes and sandals.
Pregnant or overweight people: Excess weight worsens the effects of excess pronation and its related pains. Proper alignment and support are crucial for those carrying additional weight, which creates additional forces on the feet, ankles, knees, and back.
Any of our shoes can potentially help with plantar fasciitis and/or heel pain. Since every style we offer is built with our patented Foot-Care™ technology, you get the same exceptional support and all-day comfort no matter what you choose.
The only real difference between each of our shoes is the style itself. Whether you pick slip-on, sneakers, slippers, or sandals: you get awesome heel and arch support for maximum comfort and longevity whether you're standing, walking on concrete, or adventuring in the great outdoors.
We get a lot of great feedback from customers with a full range of foot conditions, because our footwear is biomechanically correct (i.e. it fits your foot's natural shape), which helps with full body health, starting with your feet.
Any person with or without a foot problem can benefit from wearing WalkHero orthotics! It is estimated that over 70% of the population suffer from rolling inwards of the foot and fallen arches (i.e., excess pronation), which is the major contributing factor to foot problems. As we get older this problem often worsens.
In most cases, you will feel immediate relief. In some cases, your feet may need a while to get used to your WALKHEROs. Our orthotics support your arch and hold your feet in a healthier position. If you're not used to it, it may feel awkward at first. We know you must be anxious to get comfortable and pain-free, but it's important not to rush it. Feet are delicate structures. Keep using for 1-2 weeks to ensure maximum comfort.
EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate)
EVA is a synthetic polymer known for its superior cushioning. It is a lightweight polymer which still maintains excellent shock absorption. Due to its lower density structure, EVA can compress over time, which means it will start providing less support after significant wear. EVA will provide you with the superior lightweight cushioning you find in styles like the Targhee III and the Explore hiker sneaker.
Regular footbeds are designed to provide a cushioning effect and absorb shock. They may feel comfortable at first, but they do not address the biomechanical cause of excess pronation.
Insoles provide some degree of shock absorption, but more importantly, they are functional and are designed to help you reclaim your footprint by supporting natural alignment from the ground up. Some footbeds also feature arch support; however, WALKHERO insoles do a lot more than just support the arches.

All WALKHERO shoes are made with extra depth and a wide toe-box. The wide & roomy toe-box provides room for toe movement and enhances comfort for those with bunions, hammertoes & swollen feet.
WALKHERO® insoles and orthotics help treat a variety of foot, knee, lower back, leg, and hip conditions, such as Achilles Tendinitis, Arch Pain, Ball of Foot Pain, Flat Feet, Heel Pain, Heel Spurs, Osteoarthritis Pain, Plantar Fasciitis, Shoe-Related Discomfort, Tired, Achy Feet and so on.
Our shoes for plantar fasciitis cup your heel to cushion each step, and offer support from heel to arch to ankle. Our proprietary Foot-Care™ technology works in tandem with nature to help your body cure foot discomfort. Our shoe has orthotic-inspired support that dynamically grips your heel to soften every stride. The anatomically shaped EVA footbed provides arch support while the platform helps relieve pressure from the heels. Plus, the firm yet flexible orthotic insole is removable, and the shoe has a deep heel cup for stability.
The best shoes for bunions&arthritis offer a wide enough toe box so the bunion does not receive undue pressure from the side wall of the shoe.
WALKHERO's shoes feature extra wide toe boxes for a roomy metatarsal fit. We chose shoes that are both comfortable and supportive for a positive wearing experience that won't make your bunion pain worse. In addition, our shoes keep the feet secure and supported throughout the day because you don't have to sacrifice quality when selecting shoes for your bunions.
Each shoe we make features our innovative Foot-Care™ technology. Made with a foam insole and high cushioning, WALKHERO's line of shoes offers heel support that allows you to go the distance. The soles have a gender-friendly cushioning design, which supports the natural biomechanics of your feet, and the deep heel cup can also lessen the impact by stopping your heel from making contact with the ground.
There are plenty of shoe options for men and women suffering from heel spurs at WALKHERO, from the best work shoes and walking shoes to cute summer sandals, and everything else in between.
WALKHERO made correctly custom orthotics for those who are suffering back pain, which can minimize excessive motion in the heel and alleviate knee and back pain. In addition, functional orthotics placed inside the shoes are anatomically designed to keep the foot in a neutral position to minimize pronation and align it with the entire body – legs, knees, hips, and of course lower back. Better yet, we have two options for the type of arch that should be your choice since it will offer a more customized fit.

Some of the main causes of hammer toes are foot structure, trauma to your toes, medical conditions such as diabetes and arthritis, and wearing poorly-fitting footwear. Redness, inflammation, or a burning sensation around the toes, are common problems for people with hammer toes. Don't worry, WALKHERO shoes are also designed to help with these issues.
All range of shoes works best with hammer toes that have a generous toe box. Our shoes feature patented Foot-Care™ technology and built-in orthotic insoles to ensure a comfortable fit for your entire foot. Additionally, soft material in the upper of the toe box helps reduce friction from toes rubbing on the top, and a lower heel eases the pressure, making them the best walking shoes for hammer toes.
WALKHERO® Antibiosis Technology is built into our premium insoles to make them thin, flexible, and nearly invisible. It is a durable cushion that conforms to the contours of your skin to protect your corn, callus, blister, or bunion. The cushions fit easily into any shoe to provide all-day cushioning pain relief.
The best shoes for neuropathy cushion and support your feet without restricting movement to promote a natural posture and gait.
WALKHERO offers some of the best shoes for neuropathy feet. Each shoe is designed to relieve pain and offers generous, protective toe boxes and a deeply cushioned heel. An ergonomic cushioning sole provides comfort and balance stability. Our shoes are made from flexible, moisture-wicking fabric. They also include two types of free orthotic insole that provide anatomical arch support and extra cushioning.
A stable heel counter, the back of the shoe that cups your heel and keeps your instep in place, helps to prevent friction and pain.
Our innovative Foot-Care™ technology dynamically cups your heel as you move, absorbing shock and saving sensitive joints from painful jolts. The built-in orthotic insoles support your arches to promote proper posture, and cushioning in all the right places keeps you moving.
