![]() In addition to the basic versions, footwear manufacturers are developing new designs and fixation methods. The sandal must also fit your foot properly over the instep. It is extremely important that the loop is positioned in the right place and has the right circumference for your toes. Like the toe thong, this fastening method also withstands lateral loads well, with a large degree of freedom for the toes. In addition to the two basic designs, the toe loop sandals are also very popular. There is nothing wrong with such a model, but you need to know where to use it. In such a model, the foot also slides forward more easily. The poorer lateral stability is particularly noticeable when walking on uneven, steeper slopes and in wet conditions (if the foot slides too much in contact with the wet footbed). This type of sandal is also very popular in sports models (Z-straps), but it should be remembered that this method of attaching the straps does not provide the same lateral stability of the foot as it is provided with toe thong sandals. Be careful that the strap over your toes is not too tight or too loose. ![]() I therefore recommend this type of sandal for work, for a walk around town or for special occasions. As there is nothing between your toes, they are a popular choice for those who do not like any rubbing in this place. 2.2 Cross strap sandalsĬorss strap sandals are very popular with dressier sandals, but they do not allow as secure fixation as toe thong sandals. Also with these models it is important to ensure a snug fit across the instep. With this strap pattern, the pressure between the toes can be bigger than with a diagonal layout. Here the strap does not run diagonally but straight back. The T-strap design, as seen in the models on the right, is also very popular among casual models of sandals. Sandals with a strap between the toes can also be made in other ways. In this way, excellent fixation of the foot is achieved with only one strap running diagonally between the toes. It can be found in many different models of sports sandals. The lacing method, which originated from the traditional form of the huarache running sandal, is one of the most popular sandal designs. This fixation can be achieved in various ways, which we will show below. ![]() ![]() Proper fixation is therefore essential in barefoot sandals. This walking pattern is not ok as it can lead to various foot problems. When we walk in such shoes, our toes are trying to grip the ‘flip-flop, contracting the toes to ensure that the flip-flops does not fall off our foot. Proper fixation means that sandals must also hold the heel properly, which means that all flip-flops and crocs are not proper footwear, as many people mistakenly think. In addition to the basic characteristics of barefoot shoes listed above, there is another extremely important characteristic that must be taken into account when it comes to sandals: the sandals must be properly fixed to the foot. To be classified as barefoot sandals, they must have a thin, flexible, zero drop sole, and an appropriate toebox shape that mimics our natural foot shape. Barefoot sandals are subject to the same laws as all other barefoot footwear. ![]()
