【Orthofeet Japan】 Flagship shoes 'KITA' and 'YARI' certified as recommended products by Shimokitazawa Hospital, a specialist in foot and diabetes care.

Two flagship shoes from Orthofeet Japan Inc. have been certified as recommended products by the Medical Corporation Seisenkai Shimokitazawa Hospital after rigorous verification. The following are the results of the functional verification conducted by Shimokitazawa Hospital that led to this recommendation: 1. Arch Support: X-ray evaluation showed a tendency for the position of the navicular and cuneiform bones to improve upward, objectively confirming the arch support function. 2. Single-leg Balance: The center-of-gravity trajectory length was shortened by approximately 9.0%, confirming a significant improvement in postural stability. 3. Gait: Improvements in stride length and walking speed were observed, suggesting the promotion of lower limb coordination and efficient walking. In addition to hands-free attachment via a unique spring mechanism, this verification confirms the shoe's fundamental functions in supporting foot health, such as posture maintenance and gait. Following APMA certification in the U.S., the brand has now received a recommendation from a top-tier podiatric medical hospital in Japan.
