Your own insoles fitLift ours out, drop yours in.
Rafferty is a tactical boot built around the shape of a real foot, not a narrow last. A lace-up front means you get in and out without a fight, while the cushioned footbed takes the pressure off the ball of the foot. The grip sole holds on wet pavements. Every pair comes in three widths, from a Medium D through to an X-Wide 4E, so you pick the width as well as the size. From the supple leather-look upper to the Ortho-Step System, Rafferty changes the game for mobility, support and comfort.

A few quick taps. No tape measure needed.
What shoe size do you normally buy?
Tap your usual UK size.
Let's measure your foot
- Put a piece of paper on the floor, against a wall.
- Stand on it with your heel touching the wall.
- Ask someone to draw a line at the tip of your longest toe.
- Measure from the wall to the line with a ruler.
In that size, how much room do your toes have?
Do shoes squeeze the sides of your feet?
Do your feet get puffy by the end of the day?
Do you have a bump on the side of your foot, next to your big toe?
Will you wear these with thick socks or your own insoles?
Here's your fit

What they said
Daniel Whitmore
Podiatrist
For my patients, a comfortable fit is always a priority. Dailyortho brings together everyday comfort and wearable designs, which is exactly what many of them are looking for.
Helen Ashcroft
Foot Health Practitioner
Many of my clients want comfortable shoes that still look good. Dailyortho strikes that balance, making comfort an easier choice for everyday wear.
Raymond Kettle
Orthotist
I value footwear that fits comfortably into my patients’ daily routines. Dailyortho’s focus on comfort and practical design makes it a welcome option when the fit suits the individual.
What goes into every pair
Every style starts from the same set of choices about shape, padding and grip. Here is what that means in practice.
-
A layered footbed runs the full length of the shoe, from heel to toe.
- Two foam densities, a firmer base with a softer top layer.
- Shaped heel cup that holds the heel in place as you walk.
- Keeps its shape rather than flattening after a few weeks.
-
The footbed is contoured along the inside edge instead of being flat.
- Built-in contour that follows the shape of the foot.
- Removable, so you can take it out and use your own.
-
The front of the shoe is shaped round and roomy rather than tapered to a point.
- Extra width across the ball of the foot.
- Rounded toe shape with room in front of the toes.
- No overlays across the widest part of the shoe.
-
The inside is lined with a padded fabric and finished with as few seams as possible.
- Padded collar and tongue around the ankle opening.
- Smooth inner seams where the lining meets the upper.
-
Panels of stretch fabric sit where the shoe flexes most.
- Knit or elastic panels over the top of the foot.
- Moves with the foot through the step instead of resisting it.
-
A wide opening and a firm heel counter, so the shoe goes on standing up.
- Wide ankle opening with a pull loop at the heel.
- Set the laces once and leave them.
-
Built for wearing from morning to evening rather than for an hour at a time.
- Full-length cushioning under both heel and forefoot.
- Light sole unit, so the shoe does not feel heavy by the afternoon.
-
The upper is treated to shed light rain and splashes.
- Treated upper that beads water on contact.
- For showers, not puddles. These are not waterproof boots.
-
One fit, cut roomy, with an upper that gives as you move.
- Wide feet get the space they need.
- Narrower feet still sit snug and held.

I read the measurements on the page before ordering, the toe box is rounded rather than pointed so I wear them more than anything else I own.

I am on my feet most of the day at work, the toe box is rounded rather than pointed and I have already recommended them to my sister.

I have tried a lot of shoes over the years, the footbed lifts out in one piece which is rarer than it should be.

I put off buying new shoes for far too long, the stitching is neat and nothing has come loose which is exactly what I was after. They took about a week to feel properly broken in.

I have been wearing these for about three weeks now, the stitching is neat and nothing has come loose so I am glad I did not wait any longer.

I work a ward shift and I am rarely sitting down, the sole grips properly on a wet path and the delivery was quicker than promised.

These replaced a pair I wore almost daily for three years, there is enough room over the top of my foot and they still look new after a month.

I have wide feet and shoe shopping is usually a chore, there is enough room over the top of my foot so I have ordered a second pair in another colour. The inside label scratches a bit until it softens.

I bought a pair for my husband and one for myself, the collar is padded and does not rub at the back which surprised me more than it should have.

I ordered on the Tuesday and had them on the Thursday, the opening is wide enough to get into without any effort and I no longer dread the walk back from the shops.

My old pair finally gave up after two winters, the lining is smooth all the way through so I would happily buy them again.

I needed something for a long weekend of walking, there is real depth over the toes and not just width and I have worn nothing else since. The laces are longer than they need to be.

Bought these after a friend recommended the shop, there is real depth over the toes and not just width and they went straight into the regular rotation.

Took a chance on the size and it worked out, the sole is broad and sits flat on the ground so I am keeping the box for the next pair.

My daughter ordered these for me, the padding round the ankle is soft and thick and I can get through a full day in them.

I walk the dog twice a day on hard paths, nothing presses on the joint at the side and my husband has since ordered the same. The inside label scratches a bit until it softens.

After two winters my old boots were done, the heel is deep enough to hold my foot still so I wear them more than anything else I own.

Inside every pair.
-
Every shoe is measured across the ball of the foot before it goes on the site. If it comes up narrow, we do not sell it.
-
Side zips, stretch panels and a wide opening. Nothing you have to bend down for or fight your way into.
-
A broad, flat sole with real tread. We walk every sole over wet paving before we take it on.
Support for common pains.

Orthopaedic shoes are built with more room and more padding than an ordinary pair. In practice that means a wide toe box, extra depth over the instep, a cushioned footbed, and a smooth lining with no hard seams inside.
We do not design the shoes ourselves. We measure them and choose them, and a pair only goes on the site once it meets those criteria.
-
Look for a contoured footbed that fills the arch rather than lying flat, a deep heel cup that holds the heel still, and a thick cushioned block underneath the heel. An insole that lifts out matters too, so a prescribed one can go in its place.
-
A smooth interior with no hard seams anywhere, a soft padded lining right through the shoe, extra depth so nothing presses on the top of the foot, and a fastening you can adjust without forcing your foot in.
If you have reduced feeling in your feet, speak to your GP or podiatrist before changing footwear.
-
Extra width across the ball of the foot, no stitching or overlays across the widest point, a soft or stretch upper that gives at the joint, and a rounded toe shape rather than a tapered one.
-
A footbed shaped along the inner edge, a firm heel counter that keeps the ankle upright, and a wide flat sole that meets the ground square. A removable insole helps if you already wear your own orthotic.
-
A shock-absorbing midsole through the whole length, a level platform from heel to toe, and a wide sole base that stays steady on uneven ground.
-
Bending down gets harder as pregnancy goes on. Hands-free and side-zip styles let you step in and out without reaching your feet. A wide toe box, a stretch upper and extra cushioning also help when feet swell.
