Understanding Sole Types
Find the right sole type for your needs with ShoeMed. Rocker soles for ease of movement, cushioned soles for relief, and stable soles for superior support and balance.
Rocker Soles
A curved or rocker sole encourages the foots natural rolling motion to avoid pressure peaks on the heel, forefoot and back, as can occur in traditional flat shoes.
Cushioned Soles
Cushioned soles help to absorb impact as you walk. They allow for a slower transitional movement of the foot, increasing the duration of your footstep to reduce the shock through your joints.
Stable soles
Stable soles offer less impact protection than rocker or cushioned shoes, but can provide additional stability for those unstable on their feet.
