What the experts say about Yoga Sandals®
Professional perspectives on alignment, mobility, and comfort.
Emma Supple
Emma Supple is one of the UK’s most respected podiatrists and podiatric surgeons, with a forward-thinking vision for clinic care and a long-time advocate of Yoga Sandals®.
Yoga Sandals are uniquely designed to enable all toes to perform optimally; as good as barefoot… the toe spacers assist the toes to spread, helping stability, posture, and comfort.
The science bit: our feet are made up of 26 bones with lots of muscles, tendons and ligaments… the Yoga Sandals allow toes space to move and exercise.
Love your shoes but do not hate your feet!

Dr. Claudio Carvalho, DO, MS
Dr. Carvalho specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation, supporting patients with musculoskeletal and joint pain from injury or degenerative conditions.
I have used the Yoga Sandal with patients who have painful feet and have had very good results… the toe spacers assist “toe spreading” during standing and walking, which is a normal part of foot mechanics often lost in closed toe-box shoes.
Gradual wearing time is important (30–60 minutes initially, then increasing over time) and correct patient selection matters most.

Unique 4-Spreader Design
Why the fit stays secure — and why alignment feels different.
Yoga Sandals® are the next level in flip-flop design. Four spreaders help keep the sandal secure so it won’t slide or get kicked off with sudden movement. A supportive heel cup protects your arch, while the footbed slope can improve ambulatory stability.
With each toe gently separated, the foot can find more natural alignment — supporting posture, balance, and mobility. In yoga training, separating the toes in standing postures helps improve grounding and stability; these sandals help retrain the toes to do just that while exercising foot muscles.
