All About Sandals

Sandals

One of the most popular and common type of footwear that you can use are sandals. However, many of these can cause issues such as calluses, cramps in your toes, painful calves and much more. With that said, Wiivv sandals don’t cause these issues since they provide arch support and prevent you from hurting your feet. They have strap slides that are well placed to ensure that you don’t experience an chaffing between your toes. Whenever you need to buy sands, you should always get a pair that has back foot support like Reef ortho sandals once you’re not buying sliders. Additionally, a comfortable footbed will also provide extra support, even more than inserts.

Toe Guard – Silicone

It is important to guard your toes and silicone toe guards can definitely help protect them. The skin between your toes is extremely sensitive and they can quickly chafe. You can find toe guards in most drug stores or even on Amazon and they are quite affordable.

Insole Inserts – Grippy Pad

Avoid slipping: It is quite common to experience tension and even pain in your foot’s arches and even calves when wearing sandals. This is likely due to the lack of support because many sandals don’t have back straps. So, in order to make up for this, you should place grippy pad inserts onto your sandal’s insoles. These inserts can greatly help to give you extra grip, support and bounce while walking.

Silicone Straps

Use straps: If you have sandal straps that result in discomfort and blisters, then you should get silicone straps. These straps look almost like double sided tape and they are great if you have particularly sensitive skin and feet. If you are in a bind and absolutely need to do something quickly, you can use double sided tape. However, keep in mind that they will be challenging to remove.

 

Rubber Toe Caps

Remember to protect your pinky toe: These sandals are quite tough on pinky toes and they typically get squeezed too much. This can cause a significant amount of discomfort, especially when compared to the other toes. So, you can help your pinkies by using rubber toe caps or wrapping them in medical tape. With that said, using these toe caps are dependent on the style and can’t be used in all situations. 

Toekini

Be a dancer: If you want to wear wedge sandals that have broad straps, then you should consider wearing a toekini used by ballet dancers. This is basically an elastic strap that has holes in them for the toes to pass through. They also provide padding under the balls of your feet. These help to provide support and comfort when wearing wedges in particular.

Strappy Sandals

If you want to wear gladiator styled sandals or other types of strappy sandals, then one option is to mould them so that they can fit properly. This only works if the straps are made out of real leather. You can put on the sandals, make sure you adjust them to fit properly, then spray the sandals with warm water. Make sure that the sandals are completely soaked. Allow them to naturally dry while wearing them and then apply premium leather cream as well as sealer.
