Supportive Contours

Superior arch support and a heel cup promote proper alignment of the feet and spine. This can minimize strain on the knees, hips, and back and result in pain relief from several ailments. A toe rest prevents feet from sliding forward, allowing a more sure-footed step.

Massage Beads

Small Massaging beads are strategically placed across the foot-bed of each shoe to stimulate different areas of the sole. The beads add an element of full-body comfort while promoting better circulation. Also, since the soles of the foot have a concentration of sweat glands, the beads increase breathability and help reduce sweating.

Microplast Technology

Microplast is a specially formulated, patented, recyclable blend of composites that is far more durable than the materials used in similar brands. Our material is unique in that it is soft, flexible, non-slip, dishwasher safe, and contains an anti-microbial agent. The form and materials also help minimize foot odor.

Orthopedic Support

Reduced pronation

Okabashi shoes offer supportive contours in all styles, and keep the feet stabilized. In other brands with flat beds, the foot can turn outward: known as pronation. If the foot is over-pronated, there can be uneven posture and additional wear on the joints (not just in the feet and ankles, but also knees, hips, or back).

Arch Support

Okabashi shoes offer full arch support. In other brands with flat beds, the foot can become more flat footed and cause uneven stresses. With uneven stress on the foot, there can be more wear on joints and eventual nerve pain. With proper foot and arch alignment, there is less chance of developing or worstening chronic foot problems.

Toe Ridges

Okabashi shoes offer toe ridges. These, along with massage beads, help stabilize the foot and prevent it from slipping during any activity.
