Athletic shoes.: Some orthotics are made to fit in narrower dress shoes, but as a general rule you're going to want athletic shoes. They're the most supportive, and will accommodate the bulk of any orthotic device best. Depending on your foot type, there are lots of brands to choose from, but you can start with asics, new balance, saucony, brooks, or mizuno?

Wear a : Lace up shoe is the shoe of choice or place small velcro in shoe and bottom of orthotic and that usually prevents slipping.

Shoes: Very common complaint among women. Unfortunately the best shoes for orthotics have a strong heel counter and some closure, either lace, velcro or strap ( note this is advice only. You must contact your primary care physician or podiatrist for an examination).

Orthotics: What you need to do is wear the shoe that the orthotics need as much as possible. When you need the more stylish shoes the tricks such as velcro, etc mentioned already work well and will get you through. See your podiatrist for more help.
