Tired of sore feet? Real orthotic footwear designed by real foot science experts. Move Better

04/11/2026

Numb & bruised balls of your feet. Bruised & blistered toes.

The things we do for fashion! But we all do it. It's like knowing you're going to have a hangover if you drink too much but you do it anyway.

Recovering from what is literally foot trauma (that numb feeling is squished nerves, that bruised feeling a crushed fat pad!) often takes a few days but did you know you might be able to help speed up the healing process?!

Taking pressure OFF your poor damaged balls of feet can help the body heal the area up faster. Our Podiatrist-designed orthotic sandal has excellent support to take the pressure off the balls of your feet this party season.

Both the ANATOMICA original (currently on sale at 40% off) and the ANATOMICA II (coming January 2027) have the same supportive footbed to help keep you on your feet this summer.

Here's a great podiatry hack if you are having trouble with your ANATOMICA orthotic sandals - or your normal orthotics - ADD A HEEL RAISE!

The ankle & foot joints job share and often the foot joints are doing work the ankle is meant to do. If you stop the foot joints from helping out the ankle by using an orthotic - you can often feel like you are pushing hard against the arch of the orthotic or the orthotic is pushing into you.

Adding a heel raise to your ANATOMICA sandal (or orthotic) helps reduce the forces from the ankle on the middle of the foot. And of course - calf stretching too also helps - and is often essential!

If you are looking for heel raises, we have heel raises on our website and dont hesitate to email us with any questions about how to apply them.

It’s such a simple mistake. Over-wearing shoes LONG past their used by date.

We see this every week as podiatrists. Many, many times the return of an old foot problem, or even the start of a new one relates to shoes being worn for too long.

To check if your shoe is undermining you, flip your shoes over, study the tread wear, look at whether the shoes still sits level on a table, look for wrinkles on the side of the midsole foam. Too often we look only at the top of the shoe.

This is my new pair of gold ANATOMICAs. My first pair I have worn to a point where they are approximately 75% through their life. The first pair now becomes my beach pair, and this new pair is my ‘going out’ pair. I first wore these to an event in China hence the traditional Chinese red dress. Shoes age by kilometers walked, not how old they are. My first gold pair has done nearly 1000kms - which is excellent - as many running shoe foams only last 400kms these days.

How old are your shoes? Or should we ask - ‘how many kilometres have your shoes done?’

- ANATOMICA II -

Our new factory has called our premium material choices ‘exotic’.
So I guess that makes these exotic orthotics….

Pre-orders for your exotic orthotics opens tomorrow :)

We don't expect the ANATOMICA sandal to be immediately comfortable.
It's great if it is, but is more common for it to feel weird, to feel lumpy.
This is because the ANATOMICA sandal IS an orthotic. Just because it has straps on it, does not mean it stops acting on your body like an orthotic.
So remember to break it in. The average person takes 2 to 3 weeks for their body to adjust & to move WITH the sandal. That is where the benefit lies. LEARNING to move differently allows the load to be shifted to new areas - usually areas that can cope with load better.

Location : Guangzhou China - Bruce Lee’s ancestral neighbourhood.

Instructions from the factory: wear these (leopard print sandals) for the next 4 weeks and give us feedback.
And wear them I did.

China is an interesting place. My first 2 visits to our new factory had given me a somewhat boring view of Guangzhou, seen only from corporate hotels and the factory floor.

On this recent visit I got to catch up with my son, who is having a gap year in South East Asia. He introduced me to parts of Guangzhou I would never have had time to discover on my own.

And we walked. And walked.
In the evenings after factory visits, we discovered a multi-storey shopping precinct under ‘Central Park’ that stretched for many city blocks. And then there was the area where this photo was taken, the traditional part of Guangzhou. I fell a little in love with it. An amazing matcha gelato topped off the night.

As for the sandal sample testing, walk and walk we did. Afterwards, we made some refinements to the new swivelling back strap and tested the new design with extra toe space. Real-world testing of what we NEED the sandals to do is so important. I don’t mind being the crash test dummy.

PRE-ORDERS OPEN MONDAY (....or tomorrow if you are on our email list!)

We have 6 colourways:
- 2 metallic (peridot green & silver)
- 2 suede (brown & cobalt blue)

It's too hard to choose!
With our new swivelling back strap so you can easily slip-on them on, built upon our full orthotic support footbed, who said you can't have fashion & function together.

What forefoot type are you?

Feet come in all shapes & sizes - which pose significant challenges for those of us making footwear.

Our current footbed suits a majority of forefoot shapes. We have deliberately used a moldable material so that funky toes can be accommodated for.

However, there are some foot shapes that our current footbed is not suited for. Mild bunions are OK - but of your toe deviates sideways too much then there is an empty space where your toe is meant to be.

If you are unsure if your feet will suit the ANATOMICORE footbed, feel free to email us photos of your feet so we can advise you before purchasing. We are happy to help.

It's both sad & exciting that the warehouse is getting a bit bare!

I do really love our first water-friendly model, and with summer coming up it will get a very good workout. We are now planning the next water-friendly model for the 27/28 summer but the remaining stock of our first production will be our only water-friendly version for this 26/26 summer.

The new range is gorgeous - but not water-friendly - so if you are a water baby then jump online or come on in to our Hobart shop to get yourself a water-friendly pair at 40% off.
