The Coast shoe lets you step out with both style and support. It has space for orthotics (remove the memory foam insole if you need more space) and is easy to get on and take off. Just open the side zip that runs along the length of the shoe and slip your foot in and out.
This striking blue and white wide-fit shoe is lightweight and lined with smooth lycra inside. Unlace them fully the first time you wear them, then set your preferred lace tension to get the fit you need.

Why your feet will love them:
- Hassle free on-and-off. Our side zip ‘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. Great for accommodating wider feet, swelling, orthotics and AFOs.
- Padded heel collar. Helps to stabilize your feet and feels great.
- Removable memory foam insoles. Looking for extra cushion? Keep these in. They absorb shock and impact. You can fit a heel raise under them, but can also replace with custom orthotics if you want to.
- Sensory friendly. We have smooth linings and instead of stuck on labels, we stamp our sizing detail onto the tongue.
- Rocker sole. To aid propulsion and even pressure distribution.
- VAT exemption available, automatically deducted at checkout for all eligible customers.
How it works
Friendly Shoes is making footwear accessible for everyone with its easy-on shoes. Created by an occupational therapist, the company is helping people who couldn't previously find comfortable, functional and supportive footwear to fit.
The easier a pair of shoes is to get on and more comfortable they are, the happier your loved one will be wearing them. This is exactly why all our shoes have discreet, deep zips all the way down the side, or round the back of the shoe to open them right up (and we really mean that – the side zip on the Friendly Force lets you see the whole width and length of the inner shoe). They make getting dressed so much easier – for both individuals and carers.
Lightweight and wide-fitting (with an E fitting), the roomy shoes are comfortable for people with wide and swollen feet, and give another option to people who largely wear house shoes and slippers.
Friendly Shoes come with removable memory foam insoles for added comfort. These can be replaced with individual orthotics for extra support too.
These specially designed shoes are eligible for VAT exemption.
