Apis - 553

There are some things that are too frustrating to bear. Painful shoes are perhaps at the top of that list and especially for those who suffer from excruciating and debilitating foot conditions such as swelling, hammer toes, bunions to name a few. Are you one of them? If you answered yes, then you need to get your hands on a pair of Apis 553s pronto! The Apis 553 is designed specifically to cushion feet that are deformed or change sizes because of pre-existing conditions or surgery. The double depth and 3 removable cushion inserts can be adjusted to make room for almost any kind of swelling and malformation of the feet. Think about it. The more room your feet have to wiggle those toes and get the blood flow they need, the happier you will be. No more painful screams when you put one foot in front of the other. The shoes are made from a supple soft leather and mesh that cocoons in and saves it from impacts that can make you cry out in pain. The extra depth you get is about 5/16’’ more than you can get from traditional shoes which is a lot so you won’t have trouble putting them on or taking them off. If your feet swell while you are wearing the Apis 553, you might not even know it till you take them off. The point is, you will remain comfortable courtesy of the large toe boxes that will prevent your toes from getting cramped. No need to bend over for too long to get these babies on. Just slip them on and slap them closed by smoothing over the Velcro shoe closure. It is longer than others so that wearers can adjust the shoe according to their foot size or to accommodate swelling or deformities. Here is what you get in summary:

  • Wide toe box
  • Extra girth at the ankle
  • Medial and lateral counters
  • Genuine leather with mesh uppers
  • Semi- surgical opening

FAQs

Is the Answer2 553 good for plantar fasciitis?
Yes — the Answer2 553 is an excellent choice for plantar fasciitis. Its arch support, cushioned insole, and shock absorbing help reduce strain on the plantar fascia — the band of tissue along the bottom of your foot that causes heel and arch pain. The leather upper provides lasting comfort and durability.
What widths does the Answer2 553 come in?
The Answer2 553 is available in Medium (B/D), Wide (D/E), Extra Wide (2E/3E). The extra-depth design and removable footbed give you room to swap in custom orthotics or accommodate swelling. This shoe is A5500 coded and may qualify for Medicare therapeutic shoe coverage.
Can the Answer2 553 fit an AFO brace?
Yes. The Answer2 553 is specifically designed to accommodate ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs). The extra-depth construction and wide opening provide enough room for the brace without compromising fit or comfort.
