About us

Hi there, I’m Anna Wells.

For over 30 years, I worked in healthcare — standing through long shifts, helping patients take their first pain-free steps, and listening to stories of tired feet, aching backs, and endless searching for relief that actually lasts.

I saw nurses who gave everything on 12-hour shifts but went home limping.

I met people who tried every shoe under the sun, yet still woke up in pain.

I saw travelers cut trips short because their feet couldn’t keep up.

So, I decided to do something about it.

At Wells Orthopedic Shoes, every pair begins with a story — yours.

Each shoe is handcrafted with patience, purpose, and the deep understanding that comfort isn’t a luxury — it’s what lets you keep living the life you love.

Our designs blend medical-grade support with modern style — so you can work, walk, travel, and move freely again, without giving up how you look or how you feel.

Whether you’re a nurse saving lives, a parent chasing grandkids, or a traveler chasing sunsets — every step you take matters to us.

Because these aren’t just shoes.

They’re relief, restored confidence, and the reminder that comfort and craftsmanship can walk hand in hand.

We’ve been honored to help over 100,000 people move with comfort and confidence again — and every single one reminds us why we started.

Thank you for trusting us with your steps.

You’re the reason we keep crafting comfort — one pair at a time.
