Sandals

What Is Sandals?

 

 

Sandals are a type of open-toed footwear that typically consists of a sole held to the foot by straps or thongs passing over the instep and around the ankle. Sandals come in various styles, designs, and materials, ranging from casual flip-flops to more formal strappy sandals. They are popular in warm weather for their breathability and comfort. Sandals can be flat or heeled, and they are versatile enough to be worn with a wide range of outfits, from casual to semi-formal.

 

Advantages of Sandals

 

Your feet can breathe
Do you have a problem with sweaty feet? If so, it's probably because your feet can't get enough air while they're inside your shoes. That's not an issue when you have a pair of open-toed sandals. When you wear sandals, your feet will be able to breathe and feel some fresh air as you walk around town.

 

Comfort
In the same vein as the point above, sandals provide comfort and support all day long. Your toes won't be cramped up inside a stuffy pair of dress shoes. Make this the summer of comfort by stopping by Haig Shoes today. We'll find the perfect sandals for you and your feet.

 

Easy access
Women's shoes in Rochester Hills, MI can be a hassle to put on sometimes. When you're in a rush, you probably don't have time to take a seat and carefully put your shoes on one at a time. That's not an issue when you wear sandals. Just step right in them, and then head out the door. Once you get back home for the day, simply slip your sandals right off, kick back and relax.

 

Sandals are built for the beach
Whether you're heading to one of the Great Lakes or off to a tropical destination, summertime is all about going to the beach! Don't be one of those people who walks around the beach in tennis shoes-their shoes are full of sand when they leave the beach. Instead, wear your new sandals!

How Can Comfortable Sandals Improve Foot Health

 
 
01
 

Reduce pain caused by foot deformities

The foot is a complex limb consisting of 28 bones, 33 joints, 34 muscles and 112 ligaments. Therefore, there are many deformities that can affect the foot: hallux valgus, flat feet, concave feet, toe deformities, etc. There are also many reasons for foot deformities: genetics, diseases, trauma, aging, walking barefoot, etc.

 
02
 

Improve posture

Postural imbalances affect your entire body and can cause many symptoms: muscle aches, headaches, vision problems, etc. Orthopedic shoes can correct your feet and improve your overall posture. Several solutions can be considered, including arch support or increasing the volume of the forefoot. Comfortable shoes can be combined with custom orthotic insoles.

 
03
 

Reduce the risk of injuries

Improper shoes can hinder movement and increase the risk of falls and injuries. Therefore, it is recommended to wear orthotic sandals in case of foot deformities to ensure good support and better foot stability.
We also highly recommend this type of shoe for seniors to compensate for any possible loss of balance.

Woven Summer Sandals

 

Types of Sandals

 

 
Flip-flops, shower slippers, and spa slippers

These simple sandals are classic slip-on shoes, usually with just a strap to hold the two toes in place. Sometimes, beach slippers also come with an adjustable heel strap. They are available in rubber, woven reed, terry cloth, plastic, fabric, and leather. They are not meant to support the foot, but they are casual and comfortable for home and vacation wear. Often, the thin soles offer little protection, and the toes are completely exposed. Classic pool flip-flops may have cushioned soles up to an inch thick, which protect against water, sun, and heat.

 
Sandals for an Active Lifestyle

Shoes for summer sports and outdoor activities should allow your feet some "breathing room" but still provide proper arch support and fit, as well as cushioned comfort and toe protection.

 
Casual Sandals

With summertime hot and humid, it's natural for men and women to want to ditch dress shoes, or even weekend loafers and flats, for something cooler. A classic leather slipper or mule is just as suitable for a leisurely beach stroll or home wear as it is for a casual dinner out. For Activewear and Water Sports

 
Formal Sandals

Summer dressing no longer means dress shoes. Especially for women, sandals are all the rage! Opt for jeweled wedding sandals, or wear colorful high-heeled sandals - wedges, platforms, or stilettos - with shorts and jeans.

 

 

Sandals vs Flip Flops

 

Material

Flip flops are lightweight and easy to carry around because they are typically made with less material. Rubber, plastic, help, and foam are more commonly used to fabricate flip flops than are sandals. Sometimes they have fabric as part of the design. For a budget-conscious shopper looking for something without fuss, flip flops are a perfect choice. In contrast, sandals are made sturdier. Sandal soles typically consist of thick materials such as leather, cork, rope, or rubber. With added durability, sandals can be reliably worn nearly everywhere closed-toed shoes can be worn, but like a shoe, they take up more space than flip flops when thrown into a travel bag.

Look

As we've stated above, both sandals and flip flops have thin soles with straps attached to them. But their looks can be quite different. If the footwear you're looking at has a thong strap that goes between your big toe and your second toe, then that's a flip flop, 100%. The same goes for if you have a large, supportive strap worn across your instep. It doesn't matter what materials your shoes are made out of; you're wearing flip flops. Ankle support is the key distinguishing feature that a sandal has which a flip flop does not. While a sandal may have a single large strap across your instep akin to a flip flop, if it has ankle support, it's a sandal and not a flip flop. The distinguishable ankle strap look means sandals offer better foot support than flip flops do. Since flip flops have no ankle support, they flip and flop around!

Shape

Beyond aesthetics, flip flops and sandals differ in how they shape around your feet. The simple design a flip flop offers are similar to a sandal-they both typically feature thin soles, though sometimes platforms are available to each. Flatter, lighter-weight flip flops may be the more comfortable option for short-term use, but if you plan on a whole day without changing what you wear on your feet, sandals are superior. Sandals often offer a curved sole shaped with ergonomics in mind for medium-term and long-term comfort are better for long periods of wear time, whereas flip flops are better for short-term use.

Occasion

Actionably, the biggest difference between sandals and flip flops is the occasion you'd wear them for. As flip flops are simple, they're better for casual wear. You can have the fanciest flip flops, encrusted with diamonds and other jewels, but at their core, they're still in the category of "casual," not "formal." So they're appropriate for trips to the park, shopping mall, and swimming pool. However, if you have a dressy event coming up, we advise you against wearing flip flops to it. You probably shouldn't wear them to work either, unless you have a designated casual day (or your workplace is pretty laidback). When you need to attend a company dinner or someone's wedding and shoes won't do the trick, you'll want to go with sandals instead. These are a lot classier and professional looking. Plus, your feet won't be in agony all day since they're in more fitted footwear.

 

How to Choose a Sandals

The right size for your feet. Not only the size, but also the width of the sandal must allow your toes to spread out properly in the shoe. On our site, you'll find men's and women's models in different widths (size H to size M) to avoid any pressure on the deformed area.

A supple, breathable manufacturing material. Leather or textile are the materials of choice for a comfortable shoe.

Reinforced support. Our models generally feature two or three Velcro straps on the top of the foot and an adjustable closure at the back to guarantee foot stability.

A slight wedge heel. If high heels are to be avoided, the presence of small wedge heels offers advantages by encouraging blood circulation (reducing the phenomenon of heavy legs).

A removable insole that can easily be replaced by an orthopedic insole made by a podiatrist.

Good cushioning to limit vibrations in the body.

Comfortable interior, with no protruding seams to protect sensitive areas.

 

What Makes a Good Sandal?
 

Arch support
A sandal with good arch support will provide good support for the bottom of your foot, and your feet and entire body will thank you. Proper arch support distributes weight evenly and avoids tension and strain on the top of your foot.

 

Fit
Don't wear sandals that are too small and leave your toes sticking out! Not only is this unsightly, it can also lead to future foot problems. The same goes for sandals that are too big - they are uncomfortable to wear, and there is a higher chance of ankle sprains due to the poor fit. If you can, it's best to have your feet measured by a professional. They will make sure your sandal fits. Sandals with adjustable straps are a great way to ensure your feet are comfortable and don't get blisters and constant rubbing.

 

Cushioned
A cushioned footbed is going to keep your foot pain-free so you can enjoy all the thrills summer has to offer. We can't go past the Taos Trulie which only gets better with age as your foot's natural contour moulds into the cosy footbed.

 

Style

Last but not least, when wearing sandals, you want to feel good and look good at the same time. Your sandal can be well-made, super comfortable, and feel great to walk in, but if you don't like the style of it, then it most likely won't be your first choice.

 

Material of Sandals

 

Leather: Timeless elegance
Often seen as a symbol of timeless style and durability, leather is made from animal hides, usually cowhide. Leather has excellent flexibility and can adapt to the wearer's foot, while being highly resistant to tearing.

Leather is known for its breathability, regulating the temperature of the foot and ensuring comfort. In addition, leather has a classic and elegant look that is suitable for a variety of occasions, from casual outings to formal events.

 

Rubber: Comfortable and safe
Originated from the rubber tree, rubber is a great choice for durable soles, especially for sneakers and safety sandals. Known for its resistance to wear, rubber is a reliable choice for those looking for durable footwear. It is particularly suitable for safety sandals because it is able to resist corrosion from corrosive substances and provides non-slip properties even in harsh conditions.

 

Fabrics: Versatile and stylish
Coming in a variety of tones and textures, fabrics such as cotton, polyester, wool, and nylon are the perfect choice for making fashionable and versatile sandals. The various possibilities these fabrics offer in terms of aesthetics help to create innovative and unique designs.

Additionally, fabrics are prized for their excellent breathability, a feature that effectively regulates foot temperature and provides varying degrees of support, depending on the precise fabric used to make these beautiful sandals.

 

Synthetic materials: Affordable and versatile
Synthetic materials, sometimes referred to as pu leather, are completely handmade by humans and are typically composed of two different layers of material: An outer facing that is interconnected with a polyester base layer. These materials skillfully replicate the visual aesthetic of real leather and are often a more affordable alternative.

While they are affordable and offer a lot of design flexibility, it is worth noting that in some cases, they can be less durable than natural leather.

 

Foam: Comfortable and supportive
Foam is a polymer material that comes in two types: Open-cell foam and closed-cell foam. Open-cell foam allows water and air to pass through, promoting ventilation, while closed-cell foam prevents gases from escaping and is often used in midsoles for added support.
