Abstract
An improved sandal with several orthotic benefits is provided. The sandal has a unique combination of features that will be useful for the treatment and prevention of plantar fasciitis. The improved sandal has a medial split in the medial heel section of the sole. The medial split is designed so that it absorbs more energy than the other parts of the heel and promotes a lateral to medial rotation of the heel portion during the wearer's gait. In a preferred embodiment the sandal will include a rocker bottom sole and raised bed for the big toe that begins its rise at the metatarsophalangeal joint. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the sole of the sandal will also include a metatarsal bar that supports the transverse arch and an upward bend that that begins to rise from the sole at a point just forward of the end of the medial split and intersects with the metatarsal bar.
