Yoga Sandals™

Yoga Sandals™

"Spread your toes" is a favorite yoga teacher mantra for a reason. Separating your toes improves your balance, flexibility and alignment. Worn around the house or on errands, our EVA microfiber yoga sandals retrain your feet to do just that while also helping to relieve painful foot conditions. A great before/after class slip-on. Black. S-M-L. Made with 32% recycled LDPE. Indonesia.

Great Sandal Date: September 25, 2009
"Bought these sandals in August and let my mom and friend try them on liked them very much so ordered two more pairs one for each. My parents and I traveled with my 95 year old grandmother and she tried them on and liked them very much as well. So I have ordered yet another pair. Love the feel on your feet when wearing them. A little uncomfortable at first but you get use to them fast. So far everyone that has tried them on want a pair for themselves. Thanks so much for these, happy feet sandals!!!"

"these thongs fit really well at first, though having something between each toe took some getting used to. i get interested inquiries/comments about them all the time. i think that, at first, they did help my toes strengthen and straighten out. however, after wearing them nearly daily for about three months, the part across the bridge of the foot has gotten extremely stretched out, making my feet work harder to keep the shoes on. i've been super-careful not to place my feet in positions which would cause stretching of the strap, so it must be due to the amount of wear and walking i've done. i've also noticed that, as the strap has stretched out and the shoes have become harder to keep on properly, i've stubbed the toes on the ground more, causing the sole to part from the foam footbed.

so...these shoes started out well, but are now rather cumbersome to wear. good thing it's getting on to fall and time for closed shoes!"

"These sandals are comfortable. I wear them while doing errands and as house shoes. Usually, I tear up most sandals while gardening (Red Clay back-yard) and walking my dog, but these sandals hold up in any type of movement."

"I absolutely love this shoe and am back to buy more. I have had the same pair that I have worn everyday for well over a year now. These aren't just worn before/after workouts. My Yoga scandals are on my feet from the moment I wake up in the morning until I return to bed at night. They go everywhere!! Even under your desk at the office;o}

If you haven't tried these scandals, I would encourage you to do so. Your body will thank you for it, especially your feet! The first time you wear them will be an experience, since most of use aren't accustomed to having our toes slightly wedged apart. Though the sensation is awkward, its not uncomfortable at all. After the initial few minutes of shock (not discomfort), you'll wear your Yoga scandals non-stop. I continue to get great usage and even compliments on mine even, as they age.

Enjoy!!"

"I love these, I even wear them in the winter. After a day in the office standing in "professional" shoes I come home and put these on and my feet are back to normal in no time.

The only down-side, is my puppy loves them too. I am on my third pair, she keeps chewing on them. Don't they taste like feet ?"

"I saw a yoga teacher wear and she told me about how they help with balance and alignment. I am also a yoga teacher and understand the importance of separating the toes but didn't think it would make a difference. I was suprised at how comfortable (and cute) they are. The support on the arch is perfect. I highly recommend them."

Buy Two Pairs of Yoga sandals Date: May 25, 2009
"I did. I liked them so well I bought two. It works with other shoes to alternate and save the life of both. People see them and comment where did you get those. It's fun to find fellow GAIAM customers. One of my toes is leaning into another one. This helps some and I do better with separating all the toes. There is too much pressure with just one between the big and second toe."

Balance & Comfort Date: May 24, 2009
"These sandals have brought happiness to all my toes, but especially the biggest and littlest! My big toes are prone to ingrown toenails due to years of being crowded in shoes. My pinky toes have become weakened for the same reason. These comfy creations keep my toes apart, help my balance, and feel so good. I ease into them first thing when I come home, and wear them constantly."

Yoga sandals Date: May 23, 2009
"I purchased these sandals to correct a chronic problem that resulted in numbness and tingling in my left foot. Part of the problem was related to my shoes being too small and narrow. After wearing the yoga sandals on a regular basis for several weeks, there was a marked improvement. Whenever I feel the foot starting to become numb again, I wear the sandals. I would higjly recommend them."

Did not work for me Date: May 23, 2009
"I had Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) as a child. And UniSpacer surgery on both knees 6 years ago. I have residual pain in my knees and hips. I was hopeful that the Yoga Sandals would strengthen both my feet and knees. Sadly, they were very painful to wear and I felt very unsteady on them and was always afraid of falling. I tried them for about a month; hoping to build up strength and endurance, but that just did not happen. So I gave them to a friend."
