Abstract:
A healing sandal includes a sole having a forward toe portion, a rearward heel portion, an upper surface, and a bottom surface for contacting the ground. An upper is attached at a bottom side thereof to the sole and extends upwardly therefrom. The upper has two side panels adjustably attached to one another and has an opening above the heel portion. A toe cover and tongue section can be removably attached to the upper. An insole insert is removably inserted within the sandal on the upper surface of the sole. The bottom surface of the sole includes a forward convexly curved surface and a rearward convexly curved surface which converge at an apex such that a rocking motion is achieved during walking for pressure reduction on the foot.
