ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic sandal or shoe to be worn intermittently with and to correct the effects of high heel shoe wear, includes a body with upper and lower surfaces. The upper surface provides equalized pressure support without concentration on the heel or balls of the foot and without arch support. A traction system provides first toe traction without foot rotation relative to the upper surface. A foot securing system is disposed at the upper surface. A heel support at the upper surface interacts with the foot securing system to eliminate toe gripping and strain. A descending slope or dome may be provided at the upper surface to support, spread and downwardly deflect the toes to reverse dorsal-flexing. An elevated forefoot angulation may be provided at the upper surface to stretch the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon. A rocker bottom may be provided only under the toe area of the lower surface.
