Take easy to another level with the most lightweight style in our collection: weighing in at under 6 ounces, these impressive slip ons still provide cushioning and support while their mesh upper cradles feet of all shapes and sizes. Their minimalist style looks great on everyone and can be worn as an occupational shoe for medical professionals, teachers, or restaurant staff; as an every day slip on for those who take comfort seriously, or for wearing around the house in lieu of traditional, non-supportive slippers. The Force is certainly an adaptive shoe to be reckoned with, combating barriers left and right.

If you experience sensitivity in your feet, the Force is the friendly solution you’ve been seeking. Crafted with smooth linings, a dual density insole with memory foam cushioning, and an uncomplicated stretchy upper to keep you stress and irritation-free. For anyone living with a neurological condition, this casual athleisure slip on sneaker eliminates the frustrations and struggles commonly found with tying laces and builds confidence and levels of independence.

From the time we first get up in the morning, all feet change in size. Although we all have differences in daily changes, finally there is an option! Wide fitting and with laces for adjustability, as needed, Friendly offers the opportunity to unzip for comfort, zip-up for compression and stability.

Too-tight uppers are a thing of the past when you slip into Friendly Shoes. Whether due to a humid climate, altitude change, medical condition, or injury: our styles are constructed with a wider fit and adjustable laces to effortlessly accommodate swelling and can be safely worn unzipped.

Parkinson's Disease Friendly

For those of us that know Parkinson’s Disease, we know how unpredictable the condition can be on a daily basis. Through listening and working with individuals with PD, Friendly has created some of the most Parkinson’s Disease Friendly Shoes ever made.

Unpredictability is the name of the game with Parkinson’s and our shoes aim to provide a consistent, hassle-free™ experience each and every time. Our large, easy-to-grasp pull tabs are simple to use with tremors and all of our styles are incredibly lightweight to assist with leg lifting, along with our massive entry portals that make slipping into the shoes a breeze.

  • Easy pull open/close designed to accommodate tremors (pill-rolling).
  • Lightweight to assist leg lifting (9 ounces).
  • Visual cue on pull tab to accommodate volitional movement.

Age Friendly

Aging in place is a gift for us all. As we get older our bodies may slow down however our minds become more useful through the wisdom that we’ve accumulated. Unfortunately, from the age of about 25, depending on the person, we begin our physiological decline. In addition, our feet begin to change, making the old shoes we once used to brag about virtually impossible to accommodate our changing footwear needs.

Age-related changes that Friendly Shoes can assist:

  • Decreased dexterity
  • Weakness
  • Decreased endurance
  • Decreased time

Diabetes Friendly

A condition that includes over 10% of the US population, proper fitting footwear is extremely important for individuals with diabetes. Extra room can cause friction and this is not good for anyone. The problem is shoes are hard, take time and energy, and life is super busy. Through proper virtual sizing, come to experience the Diabetes Friendly Shoes difference with the attributes below:

  • Soft breathable inner lining
  • Easy open/close pull tab
  • Light as a feather (<9 oz)
  • Nonslip tested outsole
  • Firm midsole
  • Removable dual-density memory foam arch-supporting insoles (designed to increase sensory feedback)
  • Wide fitting with free laces for adjustability

*Friendly Shoes are not diabetic certified, routine skin checks are highly encouraged during initial use

AFO Friendly

Let’s face it, orthoses & braces create footwear challenges. Whether it’s getting the shoes on or accommodating the foot while it’s in the shoe, selecting the appropriate shoes for AFOs can be close to impossible. I’m not sure if anything exists?..

Our versatile styles graciously provide appropriate depth and width to accommodate AFOs and feature slip-resistant outsoles for additional stability along with removable dual-density memory foam insoles to easily replace with custom orthotics.

  • Wide (E last)/adjustable (set laces once and forget)
  • Extra-depth
  • Removable insoles
  • Non-slip outsoles

Autism Friendly

You don’t need tactile hypersensitivity or sensory aversions as so many children and adults with autism experience, to appreciate smooth, sensory Friendly inner linings with removable insoles that help customize the fit and feel. Stylish and versatile for every day, these zip-ons are fantastic for meeting the adaptive needs of our autistic community.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Friendly

Dealing with multiple sclerosis can be quite a challenge. Each person is impacted differently, on a daily basis, and this often leads to difficulties with shoe donning. Invented by an occupational therapist, Friendly shoes were created out of need, including specific features to help make at least the shoe selection part of life a little easier and less physically demanding.

Friendly Shoes are crafted with specific features to allow the wearer to get them on with the utmost of ease. Dealing with multiple sclerosis day-to-day can be quite a challenge and our featherweight styles are incredibly easy to get on/off, have slip-resistant outsoles and cushioned memory foam insoles with contoured support for immediate out-of-the-box comfort.

Veteran Friendly

Being Friendly to the individuals that served our country, Friendly Shoes celebrates our vets with shoe donations to the VA Hospital in San Diego, CA.

To make life easier for the ones that made our lives easier is something very important to Friendly.

Orthopedic & Comfort Friendly

We all want comfort, we all want things that are good for us. Why would we think any differently about our feet, the only part of our body that hits the floor an average of 3-4,000+x/day. Be more active, whether in sitting or standing, and do so with the Friendly difference, shoes that make life easier, without sacrificing style, comfort, or ease.

It’s full speed ahead with Friendly Shoes! Right at the intersection of comfort, style, and orthopedic support, our styles allow you to be more active — whether sitting or standing. Right on trend with easy-to-wear colorways, it’s what’s inside that really counts: removable dual-density memory foam insoles with a contoured arch and metatarsal support to help alleviate foot fatigue, padded cushioning around the heel and tongue for comfort and stability, and a generous toe box to easily accommodate wider widths.

AFO easy on shoes

Recently fitted for AFOs due to drop foot. Velcro walking shoes were a challenge to use. These Friendly shoes are great. So easy to insert foot even with the carbon fiber devices inside the shoe. Shoes are so light-weight, I thought the shipping box was empty.

Amazing shoes

One of the very few shoes my son can wear with a brace only on one side, as mesh can expand a bit

Best shoes for me

These shoes are very comfortable and extremely easy to put on. The full length zipper and it’s placement make it easy to reach and zip up. This is my third order and probably the only shoe I will buy in the future.

Leah M. (Santa Rosa, CA)

My husband is in his 13th year of Parkinson's Disease. These shoes are wonderful. The soles do not trip him up and they are easy to get on and off. I just bought him his second pair. Thank you so much for meeting his needs in footwear.
