One of the biggest advantages of the Aurelka ORTO® footwear is that the orthopaedic qualities of the shoes are introduced through only minor modifications to the sole or the insole, the upper of the shoe remaining unaltered.
The material used in manufacturing of our outsoles is the Italian-made Vibram® rubber, allowing for production of simple treads of exceptional plasticity. Its structure serves as a support for the corrective elements, which align the foot in the right position.
