Podiatry Recommended Comfortable Sandal for Spring

First, I'd like to appologize to anyone waiting on an answer through the comment section of the blog. For the last eight weeks, I've had a bit of vertigo and haven't been able to tolerate looking at the computer screen. I'm feeling much better and looking forward to catching up on the comments and questions!

The Naot Relate sandal is an excellent choice for Spring. It has a thick, rigid and non-flexible sole that limits motion through the foot joints, which allows for maximum comfort. Less motion through any areas of previous injury or joint damage means less inflammation, swelling and pain to that area. The Naot Relate also has a soft insole that molds to the shape of the foot and will be comfortable for anyone who has painful calluses. The forefoot, midfoot and rearfoot strapping allows for more biomechanical control, which also translates to increased comfort and less mechanical strain. 

This sandal is recommended for:

*Bunions

*Hammertoes

*Functional Hallux Limitus (decreased motion through the 1st toe joint)

*Hallux Rigidus (no motion through the 1st toe joint)

*Tailor's Bunion

*Achilles Tendonitis (mild)

*Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain)

*Osteoarthritis

*Rheumatoid Arthritis

*Metatarsalgia

*Morton's Neuroma

This sandal is not recommended for: 

*Charcot Foot

*Diabetics

*History of previous ulcerations

*Peripheral Arterial Disease

*Peripheral Neuropathy
