When it comes to choosing comfortable slip on shoes, it’s what’s inside that counts. At Wanderwell, we craft breathable shoes with premium materials that support your every step—including Ortholite® insoles, the unsung heroes of long-lasting comfort.
But what is Ortholite®? And why should you care? Let’s break it down.
What Is Ortholite®?
Ortholite® is a high-performance open-cell foam used in insoles and footbeds across many top footwear brands. Designed for durability, breathability, and cushioning, Ortholite insoles provide the comfort your feet crave—whether you’re running errands or running marathons.
The secret is in the material: the open-cell structure allows air to circulate around your foot, making Ortholite one of the most breathable shoe materials out there. That’s why you’ll find Ortholite in shoes from brands like Adidas, ASICS, Timberland, Clarks, Reebok, and, of course, Wanderwell.
