I’m at an age now when my feet get pretty tired by the end of the day. Sometimes when I look back and think of everything they’ve been through, I’m grateful they still support me as well as they do!

I was barefoot during most of my childhood summers, on grass and gravel alike.

Then came adolescence with long hours working my first jobs in retail, as a cashier at a grocery store, and then waiting tables.

My 20s brought trendy shoes with heels and pointy toes, at the office and for going out on the weekends. (True story: I once broke my foot while dancing at a party and didn’t realize it until two weeks later!)

Footlogix Pediceuticals™ combines all of these therapies into one unique sandal.

Comfeeze Earthing Sandals are podiatrist-designed to provide arch support, improve balance, and enhance circulation. With their 5-toe separators, deep heel cup, and shock-absorbent sole, they are the ultimate post-run or post-workout recovery sandal.

Comfeeze sandals are a staple for aesthetics at the spa or treatments at home, keeping toes safely apart for foot and nail care. After applying polish, I love that I don’t have to unwind limp pieces of kleenex from between my toes anymore. No more smudges!
