We strongly suggest you have your measurements taken and use them as a reference when selecting an items size. Measure yourself by following the guide below.
1Length
To measure your foot length, sit down on a chair and place foot flat on a piece of paper. Trace the foot by holding a pencil vertically and outlining the foot. Using a ruler, measure the distance from the bottom of the heel to the tip of the longest toe. Record the result in both inches and centimeters and use these measurements to find your size in the chart.

Worth Every Penny
I purchased these after dealing with foot pain for months. I wasn't expecting miracles, but they definitely helped. The arch support feels much better than my previous nursing shoes, and they stay comfortable even during double shifts. They've become my everyday work shoes and I'm already thinking about ordering another pair.
Great for Hospital Floors
I work in a busy hospital and spend most of my shift walking between patient rooms. These shoes felt comfortable right out of the box and didn't require any breaking in. I especially like the cushioning because the floors at work are unforgiving. My knees and lower back don't feel nearly as tired when I get home.
Perfect everyday work shoes
I work at an airport and spend most of my shift walking between terminals and standing for long periods at the counter. These shoes have been really comfortable and supportive throughout the day, even on busy shifts. They feel lightweight but still provide good cushioning for my feet and lower back. I also love that they look simple and not overly bulky like most work shoes.
Huge difference during long shifts
I work at a rehabilitation center and spend most of the day walking between patient rooms. These shoes have been really comfortable even during long 10 to 12-hour shifts. The support around the arch and heel feels much better than regular sneakers I used before. My feet and lower back don’t feel as exhausted after work anymore.
Long shifts on my feet are so much easier with Novera Ortho Shoes. They give amazing support and all-day comfort, while still looking modern and professional. Truly a nurse’s best friend
I have some issues including wide feet, a big bunion, and a high arch on top of my foot. I have tried other brands, but Onega walk Novera is the only one that does not irritate the bunion after walking an entire day. The toe box is perfect for wide feet providing plenty of room and the material provides flexibility. I wish I knew Novera earlier.
My shoes are broken in now and they do not hurt my feet at all! I have a bunion and heel spurs that have always bothered me in other footwear. I walk in them at least 3 miles a day and no foot pain! Thank you
These ortho shoes are a lifesaver for long teaching days. Super comfortable with great support, yet stylish enough to wear with my work outfits. My feet finally don’t ache after class
I stay on my feet for 8-9 hrs. Everyday. I have plantar fasciitis and my feet stay in pain from being on them all day. So I bought a pair of these shoes and they are awesome. So comfortable and the nubbies on the inside help my feet. I Love the color and design. I have no complaints about these shoes .
After several weeks of wearing these shoes, I've noticed much less soreness in my heels after work. They're cushioned without feeling overly soft and provide great stability while walking. I feel much more comfortable during my shifts now. They've exceeded my expectations.
I ordered these after reading positive reviews, and they definitely lived up to the hype. The materials feel durable, and they're surprisingly lightweight. My lower back feels better after work compared to my previous shoes. I'll be purchasing another pair soon.
I've been wearing my Novera shoes for a couple of weeks now, and they've been incredibly comfortable. I work long shifts at a rehabilitation center, and my feet don't feel nearly as tired anymore. They're lightweight, supportive, and look great with my scrubs. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
Working twelve hours on hospital floors can be tough, but these shoes make it much easier. The arch support feels fantastic, and I notice much less fatigue in my feet and legs. They're comfortable enough to wear all day without thinking about them. Definitely worth the investment.
I usually have sore feet by the end of my shifts, but that hasn't been the case since wearing these shoes. They're supportive, lightweight, and fit perfectly. I love that they didn't require any break-in period. They've quickly become my everyday work shoes.
These shoes have been an excellent addition to my work wardrobe. They're breathable, supportive, and comfortable enough for my 12-hour shifts. I don't feel the same foot pain I used to with other brands. I'm really glad I decided to give them a try.
I've worn plenty of work shoes over the years, but these are easily among the best. The cushioning feels great on hard floors, and the support lasts throughout my entire shift. My feet feel noticeably less tired when I get home. I would absolutely purchase another pair.
As an ICU nurse, I'm constantly moving, and these shoes have been fantastic. The support stays consistent all day, and they don't feel heavy even after hours of walking. They're also easy to clean after busy shifts. I'm very pleased with them.
I wanted shoes that were both supportive and looked nice, and these checked both boxes. They pair perfectly with my scrubs and keep my feet comfortable throughout the day. I've already received compliments from coworkers asking where I got them. I'd absolutely buy them again.
These shoes have been wonderful during my hospital shifts. The cushioning is soft without sacrificing support, and they stay comfortable even after hours of walking. I also appreciate how breathable they are throughout the day. I'd definitely recommend them to other nurses.

Frequently asked questions
What size should I order?
Choose the next size up from the one you normally wear. Novera sizes run in half steps, so that is half a step, and our shoes run a little small. If you wear compression socks to work, measure with them on. The size guide has the foot lengths.
What if the size is wrong when it arrives?
Within 30 days of delivery, keep the pair you have. We send the first replacement size free of charge and nothing goes back; the only cost is a shipping and packaging fee of $12.00 per pair. Write to us with your order number and the size you need.
Can I put my own orthotics in?
Yes. The OmegaX footbed lifts out, so your orthotics can go in its place.
Are they slip-resistant?
The outsole is soft natural gum rubber with a shallow lug. It has not been tested to a certified slip standard (ASTM F2913 or similar), so we do not call it slip-resistant. If your unit requires certified slip-resistant footwear, check that before you order, and take care on wet floors.
Will fluids go through the mesh?
The upper is an open knit for airflow, not a sealed barrier. A splash wipes off with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Can Novera help with plantar fasciitis or heel pain?
Many people who stand all day with plantar fasciitis or heel pain find that a cushioned, supportive shoe makes the shift easier, and that is what Novera is built to be. It is not a treatment: stretching and a podiatrist’s plan do more than any shoe.
Do you make a wide fit?
Novera comes in one width with a roomy toe box. For wide feet or a high instep, go one size up from the one you normally wear.
How do I clean them?
Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap, then let the pair air-dry away from direct heat. We do not recommend the washing machine or the dryer.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are dispatched within 2 to 3 days, most within 5. Delivery usually takes 7 to 10 working days from the shipment date, not counting weekends, and the tracking link is emailed when the parcel ships. Fast shipping takes about 7 working days from the shipment date.
What is your returns policy?
A wrong size does not need a return: see the exchange above. For anything else: You have 30 days from purchase to return or exchange your pair, unworn and in the original packaging. A refund goes back to your original payment method less a 15% restocking fee, and return shipping is at your cost. Socks and insoles can't be returned. Read the full policy.
