Summer is the best time to Stop using the Orthopedic Insoles

There's enough to write a book about the insoles. We have so many questions that it's like Aunt Loli's office.

One of the most typical questions when this time of the year comes is:

Can I use insoles with sandals?

To answer this question
I'll tell you what happened to Ángel with a couple who came to the shop.

Manuel and Luisa are older, more than 70 years old, nice and when they enter the door they say hello:

- Hello! Is this Zami?

- Yes, come in. Tell me, what do you need, - replies Ángel.

- Look, we're looking for sandals for both of us, - replies Luisa.

But first I have a question, are there any sandals that I can put insoles in? With insoles is when I'm most comfortable.

I've been wearing them all year and I'm not going to take them out just like that, am I? Besides, they're for the Neuroma of Mordor and bunions.

When Ángel looks down, he sees that Luisa is wearing narrow shoes with heels.

When she takes them off her big toes are diagonal (instead of straight). And she has the curve of unhappiness: bunions.

- You'll see, - says Angel.

- Actually the minimalist sandals already have everything you need to avoid those annoyances:

They are flat, so that the distribution of pressure is not only concentrated in the front area. Just where you have the neuroma of Mordor. And it is distributed proportionally all over the foot.

They have a wide last, so that the toes are not squeezed, they can be opened and you remove the pressure at that point.

And they are very flexible, so that they don't influence the movements of your feet.

In fact, summer is the best time for you to remove insoles, just for that reason, because there's nowhere to put them.

Follow Angel:

- Imagine you have a pebble in the toe box area that's nagging you all day long. No matter how many layers or layers you put on it, it's always going to be there unless you try to remove it.

Luisa's expression changed from "what are you telling me" to "it makes perfect sense".

- What the sandal should have while you are recovering is a bit thicker sole so that you don't feel the ground so much. Because right now you have a sore area due to the Neuroma. Like when you have been burnt and that part of the skin needs less contact while it recovers.

But apart from that nothing else. Enjoy your sandals without fear. Your feet won't break because you don't wear insoles.

- No, it's in summer that we tend to be barefoot the longest. - says Manuel.

And it's true, it's when our feet bother us the least. But of course, then the cold arrives and when we put on our covered shoes, the pains return.

At that moment, with this last sentence, they themselves realised:

"Footwear is the cause of your pain and at the same time the solution to alleviate it."

If the footwear is NOT shaped like a foot: it bothers, it hurts, it doesn't let you live.

As if you had a straitjacket on your feet.

If it is like a foot: flexible, flat, wide, light. You feel agile, even fast and you can enjoy every step.

And this is what Luisa and Manuel felt when they tried on the Xero Trail EV sandals.

They have a little bit of thickness that allows them to do life while their feet recover.

And it doesn't have the appointment between the toes, as they wanted.

• Z-trail Ev Men

They say goodbye effusively and promise to come back.

Well.

Question solved, but I ask you one:

How do you expect things to change if you always do the same thing?

If you always wear the same shoes, you already know the result.

Don't be afraid of change.

Health starts with your feet.
