Why your feet will love them:
• Hassle-free on-and-off. Our patented Easy Shoe Access creates larger entry portals and is easier to pull than straight, lateral or wrap-around zippers.
• Wide-expanding upper and generous toe-box depth. Great for accommodating wider feet, swelling, orthotics and AFO/SMO.
• They absorb shock. The removable memory foam footbed features dual density heel, arch, and metatarsal support.
• All day comfort and security. Lateral support, anti-slip stability with our phylon soles and smooth, breathable linings.
• Shockingly lightweight! Our size 9 Excursion weighs in under 300g.
• Rocker sole. To aid propulsion and even pressure distribution.
All our adult shoes are eligible for VAT exemption. If you can claim this tax relief, just tick the box at check-out when prompted and provide the relevant details.
- Measure your foot length in cm.
- You may find it easier to trace the sole of your foot (including orthotic if you wear one) on a piece of paper no the floor. Keep the pen as straight as possible for the most accurate drawing. Then measure from the back of the heel to the end of the longest toe.
- On the size chart below (adults or kids), find the foot length closest to yours.
- If your foot length is between sizes , choose the bigger size.
- Measure around the widest part of your foot (at the base of the toes where they meet the foot) in cm.
- On the size chart below (adult or kids), find the width closest to yours.
- If your foot width is between sizes, choose the bigger size
- If your width and length correspond to two different shoe sizes you will need to choose the bigger shoe size.
- For particularly wide feet or AFO wearers, you are likely to measure one to two sizes larger for width than length
Removing the insole will add an extra approx 1.3cm in width (adults) and 0.8cm in width (kids)

Mum is soo pleased with her excursion trainers and they are so light and comfortable. The zip with the pulley makes it so much easier for her to do and undo. Nancy was so helpful and would highly recommend

A friend suggested these for me as I had foot surgery and was looking for something to transition into after 3mths in a walking boot and cast. Only juts getting walking and these trainers are easy to put on with the zip and feel comfortable. Only walking around home currently but can feel the benefit. Today will be my first day outside, I am sure they will be amazing. Will trying more styles

These are the most comfortable shoes I have worn for years. I have very wide feet, dropped foot and wear a brace and orthotics all of which fit inside the shoe. I now have 4 pairs and have been wearing them all the time

Literally not stopped wearing these trainers since they arrived. Easy to get on & off one handed and they fit my orthotics. Also very lightweight & comfy. Love the colour too.

Before I found ‘Friendly Shoes’ I had been wearing the same pair of boots for several years because this was the only footwear I could walk in that would also allow me to use an orthotic. Needless to say this was becoming a real problem. Finding alternative footwear was proving almost impossible until now. ‘Friendly Shoes’ address so many issues, not least of which is weight. They are so comfortable to wear that I am considering a second pair for indoors, to replace my heavy slippers! Thank you, Friendly Shoes 🙂
