If you have searched for iWALK footwear, you have probably seen a confusing list of codes — AJM 08, AJM 12, AJL 32, AJL 510 — with very little explanation of what makes one different from another. This guide decodes the whole range: what the model codes mean, what every pair has in common, the price of each model, and which one to choose for diabetes, heel pain, flat feet or simply all-day comfort.
We have sold genuine iWALK Foot Care footwear from our store in Adambakkam, Chennai for years, so everything below comes from fitting these pairs on real customers' feet — not from a catalogue.
What is iWALK footwear?
iWALK Foot Care is an Indian footwear range designed for people who need more from a sandal than looks: people with diabetes, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, knee pain or feet that simply ache after a long day. Instead of a flat rubber sheet, every iWALK pair is built around a moulded footbed that follows the shape of the sole.
Most iWALK models share the same core construction:
- 12mm MCP footbed with arch support — MCP (micro-cellular polyurethane) is a soft, resilient material that moulds gently to your foot and spreads pressure. Read our MCR vs MCP explainer to see why this matters.
- 2mm MCP lining on many diabetic models — a soft inner layer that reduces friction against sensitive skin.
- Micro Touch uppers — soft, smooth straps without hard seams that could rub.
- PU outsoles — light, flexible and cushioned, with grip for Indian floors.
- Wide size ranges — most men's models run from size 6 to 14, women's from 5 to 12.
How to read iWALK model codes
The codes look random, but there is a simple pattern:
| Code | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| AJM | Men's models | AJM 08, AJM 12, AJM Classic |
| AJL | Ladies' models | AJL 32, AJL 510, AJL Majestic |
| 8xx / 4xx | Everyday orthopedic flip-flops | AJM 800, AJL 430 |
| 0x / 1x | Diabetic and ortho-diabetic sandals | AJM 08, AJM 18 |
| Named models | Signature designs | AJM Classic, AJL Barmi, AJL Diana |
So if a family member asks for "the AJM 08 in size 9", you now know that is a men's diabetic slip-on sandal.

Which iWALK pair should you buy?
For diabetes or neuropathy: choose a closed-design diabetic sandal with soft linings and adjustable straps — the AJM 08 or AJM 09 for men, the AJL Majestic or AJL 32 for women. Avoid toe-post flip-flops; the post can rub between toes you may not be able to feel. Our diabetic footwear vs regular footwear guide explains why.
For heel pain or plantar fasciitis: look for a cushioned heel cup and firm arch — the AJL Barmi for women, AJM 18 or AJM 05 for men. See best footwear for plantar fasciitis.
For flat feet on a budget: the AJM 800 or AJL 430 flip-flops give genuine arch support for around ₹700.
For swollen feet: adjustable velcro (AJM 09) or extra depth (AJM 10).
For bunions or wide feet: the wide toe-box AJM 12.
For office or formal wear: AJM Classic, AJM Roman Leather or the Slippon Leather shoe.
For daily walks: the iWALK walking shoes, which pair a breathable knit upper with a shock-absorbing sole.
How to make sure your iWALK footwear is genuine
Popular brands attract look-alikes. Imitations often copy the strap design but use a flat, hard footbed — which defeats the purpose. Before you buy:
- Check the footbed — a genuine pair has a visible arch contour and a soft, springy MCP surface, not a flat rubber sheet.
- Feel the lining — diabetic models should feel smooth inside with no rough stitching.
- Buy from a store that lets you return or exchange an unused pair if the size is wrong.
- Be cautious of very low prices on diabetic models — genuine diabetic iWALK sandals rarely sell far below ₹1,500.
Every pair at Hi-Light is genuine iWALK Foot Care, sourced directly.
