ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a modular orthopedic sandal. The modular orthopedic sandal includes an insole and a sole. The sole has a top surface recessed below its top peripheral edge to form a sidewall surrounding the top surface. The insole is attached to a groove within the sidewall on the top surface. An orthopedic appliance is attached to the sole between the insole and the top surface of the sole. In a preferred embodiment the sole member has a transverse channel and a detachable central member, releasably attached to the sole within the channel. An arch strap is connected to the sole at the top of the central member within the channel. The arch strap is sized to encircle the foot to attach the sole to the foot. The arch strap is preferably inelastic and functions to decrease the flexibility of the sole to provide increased support for the arch of the foot.
