Collection: ARCOPEDICO

Arcopédico shoes use a proprietary Lytech knit upper that stretches in all directions to conform to the shape of your foot. Unlike rigid leather or synthetic uppers, this stretch material accommodates bony prominences from bunions and hammertoes without creating pressure points. The non-binding fit lets your toes spread naturally while the twin arch sole keeps your foot properly aligned.

Arcopédico's patented twin arch support is a dual-arch sole that supports both the longitudinal arch (along the inside of your foot) and the transverse arch (across the ball of your foot). Most shoe brands only support one arch. By supporting both, Arcopédico distributes body weight more evenly, reducing pressure on the heel and ball of the foot. This makes their shoes effective for plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, and flat feet.

Yes — most Arcopédico shoes made with Lytech knit uppers are machine washable. Place them in a mesh laundry bag, wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, and air dry. This makes Arcopédico one of the easiest comfort shoe brands to maintain, which is especially helpful for customers with conditions like diabetic neuropathy or edema where foot hygiene is important.

Arcopédico shoes are not pre-qualified for HSA/FSA reimbursement because they are not classified as orthopedic medical devices. However, if your doctor provides a Letter of Medical Necessity (LOMN) stating that orthopedic footwear is required to treat a diagnosed condition — such as plantar fasciitis, arthritis, or diabetic neuropathy — you may be able to submit for reimbursement through your HSA or FSA plan. Check with your plan administrator for specific coverage details.

Arcopédico stands out in three ways: weight, stretch, and style. At 5–7 ounces per shoe, they're significantly lighter than brands like Drew, Orthofeet, or New Balance. The Lytech knit upper stretches to fit your foot rather than requiring a break-in period, unlike leather shoes from brands like Dansko or SAS. And their European styling doesn't look like a traditional orthopedic shoe — an important factor for women who want comfort without sacrificing appearance. The trade-off is that Arcopédico offers fewer widths and less rigid structure than medical-grade orthopedic shoes, so they're best suited for mild to moderate foot conditions.
