Our story

Orthae Original started with a simple goal: make shoes that feel good from day one and keep up with real life—school runs, commutes, long shifts, and everything in between. We’re a small, product-led team based in the United Kingdom, focused on thoughtful design and reliable quality.

Our mission

Our goal is simple — to help women move more comfortably, every single day.
Beyond designing shoes with soft cushioning, a spacious toe box and lightweight flexibility, we go a step further to support lasting comfort.

Every pair of Orthae shoes comes with our Signature Insole, a pair of Toe Spacers, and access to the Orthae Care App — a simple online space offering gentle daily foot exercises and tips designed to improve comfort and balance over time.

It’s our way of ensuring every customer enjoys not just a shoe, but a complete comfort experience.

What makes Orthae different

• Comfort-first design: cushioned support, flexible outsoles and room for natural movement.
• Considered details: easy on/off designs, everyday-friendly materials and versatile styling.
• Tested for real life: we iterate based on customer feedback and wear-testing before adding a style to the range.
• Clear information: simple size guides, transparent policies and responsive customer support.

Our promise

• No overclaiming: our shoes are comfort footwear, not medical devices, and they are not a remedy for medical conditions.
• No surprises: pricing shown at checkout is final for UK orders (VAT included). Policies are easy to read and easy to find.
• Helpful support: real people answering real questions—before and after your purchase.

How we work

We focus on a tight collection of comfort styles and keep improving them based on customer reviews and data. We work with trusted manufacturing partners and carry out quality checks before each batch is released.
