How to Wear In the Anatomica Orthotic Sandals
IMPORTANT WEARING IN INSTRUCTIONS
The Anatomica orthotic sandals are precisely that — orthotics integrated into a sandal. If you have never worn orthotics before, it is essential to break them in gradually. Even if you regularly wear orthotics, the slight differences in contours may require some adjustment.
To allow your feet and legs to adapt safely to the new positions, follow these steps:
Day 1: Start with 1 hour of easy walking around the house.
Day 2: Wear them for 2 hours. This time can be divided into smaller intervals if necessary.
Day 3: Wear them for 3 hours during light house activities, and so on.

What makes Anatomica orthotic sandals different from my other arch support sandals?
The Anatomica Orthotic Sandals are actual orthotics built upon a specially designed sole.
The AnatomiCore orthotic footbed design is the culmination of 30 years of prescribing customised orthotics for patients.
The shape is optimised for comfort, support & pain management of chronic foot conditions.
Equally, the sole design has been developed to reduce stress & strain on the foot & ankle joints and to facilitate a smooth forward motion.
The end goal?
To give your feet & lower legs the rest they need to recover.
How can an orthotic sandal help my foot pain?
Most foot pain problems are related to abnormal loading of certain structures in the feet.
Often these abnormal loads are accumulative & have been occurring at a low level for a long time.
They often seem to appear out of nowhere. The cause of abnormal loading include poor foot posture or movements related to reduced strength, poor inherited foot structure types, or occasionally an old injury disrupting the ability of a joint to stay healthy with age.
The goal of integrating the Anatomica orthotic sandal into everyday use is to help improve your foot posture AND foot function to redistribute the abnormal loading as much - and as often - as possible so that the clever cells of your body can get some repair work done.
Over time, prolonged use will very likely contribute to reduced abnormal foot loads, less discomfort and a healthier foot, ankle - and even knees!
How much should I use my Anatomica orthotic sandals?
Your Anatomica orthotic sandals are the perfect replacement of your slippers or bare feet around the house! And - of course - the perfect replacement of your thongs or sandals.
Ideally you would be wearing them before and after work until you go to bed. If you add this time up it can be up to 6 hours of goodness each day for your feet. Six hours that the cells of your bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments have to get repair work done. Add this up over a week (~42 hours) and its like a full time job load that you’ve taken off your feet.
If you work from home, or spend the weekend at home, this is also a perfect opportunity to gain brownie points with your joints!
