Wearing Orthotic Sandals for Five Reasons

When it comes to summer, many individuals look forward to slipping their feet into sandals. Sandals come in a variety of styles and sorts. What should worry you is the support or, more accurately, the lack of support that the sandals provide for your feet!

It All Comes Down to the Footprint/Footbed

It’s known as the “footprint” or “footbed” by the “shoedogs” of the world, and it’s where your foot’s sole sits, as well as how comfy the marriage between your foot and the sandal is. As you may be aware, the majority of sandals and flip flops on the market do not provide adequate foot support. It’s almost as though you’re striking hard, non-natural surfaces with no absorption. Most doctors advise against wearing flip flops that don’t have any support or have an orthotic footprint. (You may have heard experts say that flip flops are much worse for women’s feet, lower backs, and spines than heels!)

Orthotic Sandals, not just sandals!

Arch support, heel cupping, and a comfy sole are all features of an orthotic sandal.

Plantar fasciitis (arch/heel pain) is commonly treated using orthotic sandals, which are constructed with a very supportive and pleasant footbed. When you wear sandals without orthotics, your feet are more prone to numerous injuries and problems.

The benefit of wearing sandals with orthotic arch support is that they improve your gait while also aligning your feet in the proper position to keep your ankle in the correct position. When you wear sandals without arch support, your feet are excessively parallel to the ground, putting strain on your ankles, knees, and back. Long lengths of time in those types of flat sandals are not recommended. Experience the uniqueness and comfort of our Orthotic Sandals.

The Benefits of Wearing Orthotic Sandals

There are numerous reasons to wear sandals with orthotic support. Orthotic sandals are considerably different from flip flops and are far more suitable for everyday use. Sandals with orthotics have a number of distinct advantages versus flip flops that are not supported:

Medical Footwear Sandal (8)

Reason 1: Orthotic Sandals realign the feet with the lower limbs of the body, reducing tension in the ankles, knees, and back.

Reason 2: Orthotic Shoes provide maximum comfort to the rest of the body: It is simpler to stroll all day in these sandals and yet feel relaxed. The feet provide a stable foundation for the body, which contributes to excellent posture and alignment. You’ll also notice that strides are much easier to take with the orthotic arch support sandals because the arches of the feet aren’t strained as much.

Reason 3: Excessive pronation is restricted: most orthotic support sandals feature a heel-cup shape (e.g., Ideastep Sandals, Your Sole Insole). The structure’s main purpose is to keep you stable and manage your motion.

Reason 4: Comfortable, solid soles: Unlike thin, non-supportive sandals, the orthotics sandals we provide have sturdy soles that protect your feet.

Reason #5: Get your feet moving again and keep them cool: If you wanted to walk any distance outside when it was warm before, you had to wear walking shoes with specific orthotics. Orthotic Sandals provide the level of support your feet require for long-term comfort as well as the added benefit of keeping your feet cool!

Walking with orthotic sandals from IDEASTEP feels like walking on sand.

Slip-on Orthotic Sandals

Finally, human feet were not designed to walk on hard or irregular surfaces. There were no roads or sidewalks back when our feet were created, thus humans walked on soil and sand! What you need are sandals that reintroduce your feet to the sensation of walking on earth and sand, which the orthotic sandals we sell provide.
