Mismatched Sized Shoes for Different Sized Feet

Believe it or not, having one foot larger than the other is quite common. For about 60% of the population, a foot measure device (brannock device) will tell them they have different sized feet (most of the time the left foot is bigger). But different sized shoes are not necessary for all of these people. If one of your feet is half a size longer (for example: if your right foot is a size 8 and your left foot is a size 7.5) or one width size bigger, different sized shoes are not necessary for you. You just need to fit the shoes to the larger foot.

Even if one of your feet is a full size longer than the other, you do not have to buy mismatched shoes. The difference between full sizes is only 1/3 of an inch and the difference between widths is 1/8 of an inch. Please use discretion and personal medical history when deciding on the most affordable and comfortable choice for you.

Note: If your feet have more than 1 1/2 size in length difference, you will have to wear mismatched shoes.

If your feet vary in widths, an option is to add or remove an insole to make up for the smaller foot’s lack of volume. You can buy one of our Diabetic Shoes that are designed with numerous inlays that can be easily removed to accommodate the wider foot. However, if there is a big difference between the lengths and widths in your feet, then you must order mismatched size shoes.

If your feet have more than a 1 1/2 size difference, then mismatched shoes is the best choice to ensure proper foot health and protection. But, if money is a concern, you could buy shoes to fit the larger foot. Our insoles can be easily added to shoes to take up room in the smaller foot's shoe.

Once you've decided whether or not you need mismatched shoe sizes, you then need to figure out what you can responsibly afford. We offer three choices for ordering mismatched shoes. The first two options involve custom ordering so you only get two shoes. You can not return or exchange custom ordered shoes. The third option involves ordering two pairs of shoes.

1. We offer four brands that have mismatched programs for their shoes (these are non-returnable, non-refundable shoes), so you can get shoes that will fit each foot correctly:


• Apis offers a mismatched program on all of their shoes. The additional cost is $70.00 added to the price of the shoes.



• Brooks offers a mismatched program on all of their shoes. The additional cost is $50.00 added to the price of the shoes.



• Pedors offers mismatched sizes on all of their shoes. The additional cost is $55.00 added to the price of the shoes.



• P.W. Minor offers a mismatched program on all of their domestic made shoes. The additional cost is $90.00 added to the price of the shoes.


2. The second option is to pay a flat fee of $166.00 for any mismatched pair of Orthofeet shoes on our site (these are non-returnable, non-refundable shoes).



3. HealthyShoeStore.com understands that custom ordering isn't the best option for everyone, so we offer a special discount program for those ordering two pairs of mismatch sizes. This is ideal for first-time buyers of mismatched size shoes, because these shoes can be exchanged or returned if they don't fit your feet properly. Please call us for more information about this special discount program for mismatched shoes.
