Designed by Dr. Gayle Trenberth, Yoga sandals are very special and unique sandals that use four toe separators to space each toe from its neighbour. The resulting separation opens up the 26 bones in the feet and helps those bones become mobile, as they were meant to be. Look at a child's foot and how agile that foot is, aiding in balance, promoting body alignment.
Our feet, often crammed into narrow shoes, lose that young and agile mobility. We begin walking with the bones of our feet jammed together and our natural balance and body alignment is lost. Without mobility, the bones of our feet can promote several foot disorders such as osteo-arthritis, hammertoe, bunions and poor circulation.
These sandals alleviate those potential problems by spreading the toes and restraining the feet. As the foot bones regain mobility, balance, body alignment, and improved posture is restored, often resulting in reductions of leg, hip and back problems.
These sandals have been examined and approved by Doctors of Osteopathy, Podiatrists, Chiropractors, Doctors of Medicine, Yoga and Health Instructors. And the really good news is that the Yoga Sandals® are affordable, under RM150.00, unlike the thousands of dollars that can be spent for orthotics, fancy shoes, and foot surgeries. There is no need to spend time sitting down, unable to move, as you have to do with unsupported plastic between the toes or stones between the toes. Sitting down, unable to freely put your weight on your feet, DOES NOT allow your feet to learn to move with the toes being naturally and gently spread as you walk, and limits the mobility of the whole foot. The Yoga Sandals® allow free movement to retrain the bones and muscles of your feet as you walk and get on with your day, increasing the mobility of the feet.
Yoga Sandals in yoga
Yoga is a psychological, physiological, and spiritual discipline that was born out of the Hindu culture many centuries ago. Centering the mind and spirit, while grounding and balancing the body, are central keys in yoga practice. Yoga students are taught to spread the toes, thus grounding the feet, while doing the standing asanas (yoga positions that promote focus, flexibility and strength). Our Yoga Sandals® help train the foot to spread the toes through gentle movement and walking throughout the day. This gentle spacing of the toes aligns the feet with the ankle, the knee, the hip and posture. The toe separation opens up the 26 bones of the feet and helps those bones become mobile, as they were meant to be. The Yoga Sandals® increase balance, body alignment, and a sense of grounding while you gracefully and easily move through your everyday life.
Yoga Sandals as pedicure for the ladies
Yoga Sandals® were initially invented and patented as the Spread'ems®, The Upscale Pedicure Sandal®. While wondering about a sturdier solution to flimsy disposable spa sandals, bare feet, or one thong sandals that can ruin polished toenails, Gayle Trenberth, Ph.D. had an idea. What about a sandal with four toe separators that would space each toe from its neighbor? If you had the toe nails polished after putting on such a sandal, you could leave the spa or salon and get on with your day, allowing the toe nails to dry at length, leaving them lustrous for weeks. After some experimentation, Dr. Trenberth invented the Upscale Pedicure Sandal ®. It was a unique sandal that could be used for pedicures and everyday wear.
Yoga Sandals for everyday use
A sturdy, comfortable sandal, it could be used for everyday wear. Yoga instructors and students began to give Beech Sandal Co., LLC feedback as to how well the sandals trained the toes to spread, increasing foot flexibility, balance and body alignment. Podiatrists, Doctors’ of Osteopathy, MD’s and Chiropractors began to use the sandals with their patients, helping those patients improve posture, relieve hip and back problems, and help various foot disorders. Testimonials from pleased customers told us again and again about improvement and relief from various conditions, and how wonderful the sandals were to just wear as an everyday sandal. They could not be kicked off as a single thong sandal could be, they did not slide around on the feet, and one did not have to squeeze the toes together to keep the sandal on the feet.
