These are the lady's stretch mules that help to combat the effects of plantar fasciitis with a stabilizing orthotic footbed that realigns feet to a neutral position. Recipient of the prestigious American Podiatric Medical Association's Seal of Acceptance, the mules are built with podiatrist-designed, shock-absorbing EVA footbeds that provide arch support while aligning the feet into a natural position for those who over-pronate, when the heel bone angles inward, a determining factor in the development of plantar fasciitis. With PVC uppers, three elastic straps stretch across the vamp to provide comfort and freedom of movement without causing pressure points, callouses, or blisters, making them idea for air travel when feet swell due to lack of movement. The flexible, lightweight rubber outsoles are molded with a slip-resistant pattern. The orthotic footbeds provide optimal comfort and support when the mules are worn for at least a few hours per day over the course of two weeks. Women's whole sizes 8 or 9. Medium width. For half sizes, order the next size down. Black. (8 oz.)
