A Dedicated Home for Medical-Grade Footwear in India

Ortho Shoes — a division of Diabetic Shoe India — positions itself as India's trusted marketplace for orthopedic footwear, built around a mission of improving mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life. Rather than manufacturing its own line from scratch, the platform brings together medically designed footwear and socks that meet recognized standards of performance, craftsmanship, and modern design, giving Indian customers a dedicated channel for therapeutic footwear that was historically harder to access domestically.

Exclusive Distributor of Drew Shoes in India

Ortho Shoes India's flagship offering is its position as the exclusive Indian distributor of Drew Shoes, the nearly 150-year-old American footwear brand known for prescribed orthotics-compatible construction. This partnership brings a well-established North American name — previously difficult to access domestically — into a dedicated Indian retail channel, addressing what the brand describes as a specific gap for people managing diabetic foot conditions, plantar fasciitis, arthritis, and structural foot problems in India.

Popular Drew styles available exclusively through the platform include:

  • Drew Player — a men's walking shoe built with Walk Right Technology™ and a high-rebound EVA midsole for shock absorption and a stable stride
  • Drew Chippy — a popular women's casual walking shoe with double depth and two removable insoles to accommodate prescribed orthotics
  • Drew Buttercup — a detailed women's style with an adjustable hook-and-loop closure and detachable strap
  • Drew Sawyer — a women's sandal with three adjustable hook-and-loop straps for a secure, personalized fit
  • Drew Sprinter — a lightweight lace-up athletic sneaker with a FlexKnit upper, noted as FDA & PDAC approved and associated with HCPCS code A5500 for diabetic and orthopedic footwear
  • Drew Aaron — featuring Drew's Plus Fitting System® with two removable insoles

Built Around Real Foot Health Needs

Ortho Shoes India draws the same distinction many specialists make between two related but different categories: orthopedic shoes, which correct biomechanical foot issues, and diabetic shoes, engineered specifically to prevent the injuries and ulcers diabetic patients are prone to. The platform's offerings are designed around:

  • Soft, seamless interiors and cushioned support to guard against blisters and irritation
  • Orthotic insoles and ergonomic design for pain relief and stability
  • Shock-absorbing materials for long-lasting, all-day comfort
  • Reinforced arch support and firm heel counters for improved alignment

More Than Just Shoes

Beyond footwear, the broader Diabetic Shoe India platform (of which Ortho Shoes is a division) also offers medical footwear for clinical and daily use, orthotics and insoles (both custom and prefabricated), and educational resources through blog content covering diabetic and orthopedic footwear research.

Perfect For:

  • Indian customers seeking access to internationally recognized orthopedic brands like Drew
  • Those managing diabetic foot complications, plantar fasciitis, or arthritis
  • Individuals requiring prescribed orthotics-compatible footwear
  • Shoppers looking for a dedicated, specialized marketplace rather than general footwear retailers
  • Anyone seeking both casual and dress-appropriate therapeutic footwear options

Ortho Shoes India — bringing world-class orthopedic footwear home.
