Orthotic and Foot Care Articles

Aetrex’s new line of Sandalistas will sure please women who rely on custom made orthotics for foot comfort. The new line of sandals features  removable footbeds (insoles) that allow the use of custom or prefabricated orthotics such as the Lynco orthotics.  Use of custom insoles is not required with these sandals because Aetrex included innovative comfort technologies built-in to the sandals.

Out of the box and onto your feet, you will notice a soothing memory foam top-cover over the built-in Lynco support and if you desire more comfort, the sandals feature Aetrex’s Mozaic™ Customization Technology. With Mozaic Customization Technology you can quickly customize the fit to each foot to provide the ultimate footwear experience.

How Mozaic Customization works

1. Identify the areas of your feet that experience the most pressure or discomfort.
2. Peel away the Mozaic squares at these areas.

3. Replace the existing undersole layer with your customized Mozaic insoles.

After customizing your Aetrex footwear you will immediately feel the difference. You will notice that pressure has been relieved and you will experience foot comfort at a whole new level.
