Align Footwear® Sandal Guide – for Women and Men
“But I cannot wear the insoles in my sandals,” customers often say…
But – oh yes you can!
In the hot summer months, many of our customers naturally jump out of their closed shoes and cool off with a pair of delicious airy sandals. When wearing insoles, you may be a bit challenged, both when it comes to toe straps, straps and fittings in general, however. But do not worry – we have some suggestions to you as regards how insoles and sandals can easily work together.
The insoles fit into many types of sandals –the best solution being sandals with heel caps
When you need insoles in your footwear, it is necessary to make clear that not all kinds of sandals may be combined with insoles! Our best experience and recommendations are sandals, having a fixed heel cap – i.e. providing the best effect and support.
In this Sandal Guide we are presenting different types of sandals in which you may use your Align Footwear® insoles – you will find sandals for many different purposes: nice sandals, more practical ones and for different age groups.
We will present to you various models with replaceable soles, giving the insoles from Align Footwear® plenty of room– i.e. several examples from Rieker (German brand), Ecco (Danish brand), and Suave (English brand).
When buying new sandals, we will always recommend you to buy sandals made of leather, as they are easily blocked out – something your shoe dealer will be able to assist you with. They will be more than happy to give you advice and guidance in this regard.
In some cases, you may want to choose a size larger than normally when buying new sandals in order to ensure plenty of room to your feet as well as the Align Footwear® insoles – please notice that sandals fit your feet more closely than e.g. a pair of sneakers.
Good helpers: Tape and black marker!
If you have the feeling that the insoles are slightly loose in your sandals (or if the sandals do not have a fixed heel cap) you may glue the insoles onto the sandals. We have received a lot of feedback from happy customers having successfully tried the solution to put velcro strips or double-sided tape (such as carpet tape which is a little more permanent than e.g. velcro bands) underneath the insoles -then the insoles do not mess around and will provide a good and supportive foundation for the feet.
If you are wearing black sandals – and if you feel that the white part of the insoles become too visible in your sandals, it may be an idea to use a black permanent marker in order to colour the white. In that way, the insoles will not be so easy to see. One of our Danish dealers has done exactly this in her Rieker Antistress sandals:
Remember your insoles when shopping
In addition to the models shown in the guide, we can also strongly recommend the sandals from Angulus (Danish/ Portuguese brand), New Feet (Danish brand), and e.g. Green Comfort (Danish Brand). All of the mentioned are easily combined with the Align Footwear® insoles.
But first of all: remember to bring your Align Footwear® insoles when shopping – and try them out on your own feet! You will probably find many more models than mentioned in which you may wear the Align Footwear® insoles – each and every year, the sandal market is filled up with new, delicious ones!
