What Our Shoes Do For You

StartTechnologyWhat Our Shoes Do For You

Our orthopedic specialists have created stylish shoes with built-in orthopedic insoles for anyone looking to avoid overload injuries or ease pain in the feet, knees, legs, hips, and back.

A new approach to supporting your feet and body

Pain and discomfort aren’t always limited to your feet and ankles. If you’ve experienced discomfort while standing, walking, or moving during daily activities, it could be related to how your body is built or how weight is distributed. If these issues are linked to foot arch support or improper load distribution, our patented products are designed to offer relief and support.

We aim to support people’s well-being through orthopedic shoes and insoles.

Our team of orthopedic technicians has studied foot shapes and movement patterns from around the world to create insoles designed to suit most feet.

We have developed and patented two unique orthopedic systems, the 3-Step System for heeled shoes and the 5-Bar System for flats and sports shoes, which form the foundation of our insoles and shoes.

Our designers carefully select high-quality materials and craft each shoe model around these orthopedic insoles.

Your feet are important

The foot and ankle arch act as the body’s natural shock absorbers. When these do not function properly, the risk of overload injuries can increase significantly. A stable shoe, combined with our patented orthopedic insoles, can correct misalignments, support the foot arch, and relieve pressure on specific areas. From a biomechanical perspective, the human body works quite similarly.

Using the best shock-absorbing materials available on the market, combined with the right shape and adaptation to your foot’s structure, we aim to support the foot’s natural ability to stabilize and absorb micro-shocks.

The result? We aim to improve endurance and reduce discomfort.

Take care of those who carry you through life.

Human feet are fascinating and important—they affect our entire body in numerous ways. Let’s compare the human body to a car: a lack of shock absorbers, incorrect wheel alignment, or uneven tires puts both you, as the driver, and your passengers at risk. It also wears down the vehicle’s system, placing extra stress on other parts. From a biomechanical perspective, the human body works similarly.

When your low arch doesn’t receive adequate support, it can cause the lower leg to rotate inward, angle the knee joint inward, and tilt the pelvis forward—ouch! On the other hand, high arches result in rigid feet, placing more pressure on the pads and increasing strain, which can travel upwards to the knee joints and lumbar spine.

Depending on your foot type and load distribution, certain body parts may be exposed to greater forces, leading to faster wear and tear.

Anatomy of the Foot

• 26 large bones

• 3 regions: the forefoot, the midfoot, and the hindfoot

• The forefoot consists of 5 metatarsal bones and 14 phalanges

• The midfoot includes 3 cuneiform bones (lateral, intermediate, and medial), the cuboid, and the navicular bone

• The hindfoot consists of the talus and calcaneus

Types of feet

We have examined the height of the foot’s three arches. Arch height tends to vary by population and continent, but approximately 60% of the population is flat-footed, 10% have high arches, and 30% have “normal” arch heights.

• Flat foot – approx. 60%
• Normal arch – approx. 30%
• High arch – approx. 10%

In our experience, people with low and high arches may have a greater need for orthopedic solutions, while those with normal arches tend to manage overload injuries better. Normal arches are generally more stable and can absorb shocks more effectively, while low and high arches often require additional relief, shock absorption, and correction of ankle misalignments.


Stinaa.J orthopedic shoes and insoles may be beneficial for individuals with the following conditions:

Invisible weights and movement patterns

When you walk, the pressure and weight your feet carry doubles. So if you weigh 60kg (132lb), your feet are exposed to the pressure of 120kg (265lb)! When you run, the pressure on your feet is multiplied by 3 to 5 times your body weight.

The right shoes can help support your feet. We offer several options for people with low and high arches, as well as those with misalignments like overpronation or supination.

Overpronation, Supination, and the Neutral Step

Pronation refers to how your feet move and their ability to absorb micro-shocks when they strike the ground. When you walk or run, your foot naturally angles inward slightly to cushion the impact.

When the feet roll inward too much, it is called overpronation. This can strain the body, and managing and reducing it as much as possible is important. Approximately 60% of the population experiences pronation or overpronation.

Supination occurs when the foot doesn’t roll inward enough or rolls outward instead. Around 10% of the population experiences supination or over-supination.

Both overpronation and supination prevent the body from distributing impact forces evenly when the foot strikes the ground. This increases the risk of injuries to the feet, knees, hips, and back.

A neutral step occurs when the foot is neither pronated nor supinated as it lands. The heel tendon remains straighter, and the pressure is evenly distributed through the sole. The neutral running step begins with the weight on the outside of the heel, rolls through the midfoot, and pushes off from the big toe.
