| Après-sport Sandals are Perfect For Post-Workout Pain Relief |
| In my Australian podiatry practice I treated many amateur and professional athletes. A common complaint was not only how to relieve lower limb pain during exercise and competition, but how to ease the transition after their activity.
|
| For these patients I recommended that they step right in to après-sport footwear that provides flexible support and stability. At the time there were few suitable products, which is largely what inspired the design of the original Orthaheel flip flop sandals with built-in orthotic support. These sandals quickly became the flip flop of choice for athletes such as Olympic triathlete Loretta Harrop and the Australian Football league players (in fact, Orthaheel is the only flip flop these athletes are permitted by the league to wear post-training!).
We’ve continued to expand our range of orthotic sandals, including this season’s newest Kiwi and Kinetic styles which recently earned the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Approval. And our popular Walker shoes – also approved by the APMA - are now available in half-sizes.
|
| In the words of one of our customers, “Orthaheel helps you get where you want to go on your own two feet.” I hope we can continue to help you, too, move without pain. |

| Don't let summer's most popular footwear take the spring out of your step! |
| Choosing a foot-friendly sandal for summer can be a 'flop' unless you know the facts. |
| Recently there have been several articles in prestigious publications ranging from the New York Times to the American Podiatric Medical Association, bringing attention to a growing problem with summer's hottest products, the flip-flop. |
| When the weather heats up many of us slip on our flip-flops and head to the beach, barbeques and other outdoors activities. Usually, these fun times are brought down by flip-flop related problems including sore feet, ankles and legs. Meanwhile, many orthotic-wearers find themselves without warmweather options. |
| Our Orthaheel flip-flops are a convenient, pain-free 'natural healing' solution. Orthaheel products are designed with our innovative orthotic technology which is clinically proven to reduce excess pronation and help relieve associated pain. Pronation is a contributing factor to 'flat feet' and many of the common aches and pains associated with poor lower limb alignment caused by regular flip-flops. |
| It is with great pleasure we inform you that the following Orthaheel products are now approved by and carry the APMA* Seal of Acceptance: Tide sandals, Ryder sandals , Wave sandals ,Walker athletic shoe and the ¾ - length Regular, Full-length Workforce, Full-length Sport and Slimfit Casual orthotics. Evaluated by a committee of podiatrists, these products are shown to allow for normal foot function and promote quality health." |

| When your heads hurts, could it be your feet? |
| Correct foot function is essential to the way we walk, our overall posture and anatomical alignment of the knees, hips, spine, neck and head. Clinical studies have shown that changing the position of the feet can even affect alignment in our jaw! |
| Faulty foot function (including excess pronation - or rolling inwards of the feet) can have a profound effect on our daily lives. You don't have to be an athlete to suffer from the effects of poor foot function. In today's modern society, every step we take on a hard flat unforgiving surface causes our feet to compensate un-naturally." |
