Ditch Your Flip Flops


Flip flops can cause several problems with your feet.  The shoes do not provide sufficient support for your feet and your toes must grip the shoe in order to stay on your feet.  Wearing worn down and unsupportive flip flops can definitely create problems for your feet and heels. In fact, plantar fasciitis is sometimes referred to by podiatrists as "flip-flip disease." Flip flops can also cause broken toes, broken toenails, and expose the feet to more opportunities for cuts and bruises.



If you just can't resist the allure of sandals, you may want to try flip flops with some support.  Our online product store offers Orthaheel Men's and Women's Flip Flops.  These sandals are designed to provide comfort and orthotic treatment. The sandals have a soft, padded to post and have light orthotic footbeds to reduce pain in the feet and pronation.

Features:

  • Podiatrist-designed, biomechanical footbed with a deep heel cup helps stabilize, support, and realign the feet back to their natural position.

  • Doctor recommended for unbeatable comfort and support.

  • Soft padded fabric toe post minimizes rubbing and irritation.

  • Quick dry sports nylex mesh linings.

  • Water resistant, lightweight, and flexible.

  • Textured rubber outsole provides traction and enhances walking comfort.

  • Orthaheel technology is clinically proven to reduce excess pronation, a contributing factor to “flat feet.”
