About Us
Who we are
Healthy Feet, Happy Life.
At Merit Medilinks, we are dedicated to making every step pain-free through innovative, clinically-informed and scientifically designed medical footwear.
Our mission is simple
Painfree Walk For All.
The Merit Medilinks story began with a simple observation – many people live with foot pain, deformities and diabetic wounds, but there was a lack of awareness about the proper therapeutic footwear required to ease their problem. Medical footwear was there in India, but it was bulky, heavy and aesthetically unappealing, leading to low patient compliance.
At Merit, we decided to change this narrative. To spread awareness and provide a choice of good-looking, trendy yet clinically effective medical footwear, so patients can walk with confidence. What they needed was not just a slipper, but soft, adaptive footwear with biomechanically correct support.
That thought became our journey. We started in Bangalore as manufacturers. Our deep research focused on foot biomechanics, plantar pressure offloading, soft-cushion engineering and material science. We extensively researched lightweight, durable materials with optimal Shore A values for therapeutic efficacy. This led to the development of our self-researched Super Soft Insole.
We use Premium MCR for superior cushioning and better outcomes for diabetic patients. Along with this, we offer standard MCR and MCP ranges for our off-the-shelf catalogue. Our in-built basic orthotic footwear is a significant relief for patients who were earlier forced to use bulky shoes with separate orthotics.
Medical footwear complements medical treatment. It provides soft cushioning to aid recovery of a wounded foot and offers the softest support for a deformed foot. Largely, it helps reduce pain while walking through customizations made as per patient requirements.
Today, we work pan-India through our channel partners and are trusted by 100+ doctors who recommend our footwear to their patients.
Each pair we create is backed by the same passion we started with – to restore confidence and comfort in every step.
Whether it is an elderly person struggling with heel pain, a diabetic patient needing wound care support, or someone with foot deformity seeking dignity in walking – our footwear is designed to support them.
At Merit Medilinks, we believe there is always a better way to walk without pain. If you are facing a foot problem, we have a solution – or we are working on one.

At Merit Medilinks, we believe your feet are the foundation of your health. Nearly 25% of the bones in the human body are in the feet — when not properly supported, it leads to pain, imbalance, and conditions like peripheral neuropathy.
