I absolutely love Tsubo shoes!
Every pair I've owned has been a go-to shoe for comfort and style.
What's great about these two wedges are that they have a thick, rigid sole that is very protective of your foot joints.
More protection for your feet means
less wear-and-tear of the joints, which results in
more comfort and less chance of injury.
Not to mention prettier feet!
You are either beating up your feet or you are beating up the shoes...
The Barto shoe is superior because it has forefoot, midfoot and rearfoot control, which allows for more biomechanical control.
More biomechanical control of the foot and ankle means you get less mechanical strain, which allows for less chance of injury and
superior comfort.
The Tsubo Sedna lacks midfoot control but has rearfoot and ankle control, which makes it an amazingly comfortable wedge sandal. The Sedna is a particularly good shoe for anyone who has a large bump on the top of their foot (exostosis) and can't have any pressure on it.
Are you starting to develop bunions or hammertoes?
Are you concerned about stopping or slowing the progression of foot deformities such as bunions and hammertoes?
To do this, it is imperative that you only wear shoes with a thick rigid sole that has forefoot, midfoot and rearfoot control.
Excessive motion in the foot while wearing substandard shoegear (i.e. flexible!) encourages the deveopment of:
*Bunions
*Hammertoes
*Tailor's Bunions
*Morton's Neuromas
*Corns & Calluses
*Achilles Tendonitis
*Tendonitis
*Bone Spurs
*Osteoarthritis
*Joint Damage
*Stress Fractures
*Knee, Hip & Lower Back Pain
These Tsubo wedge sandals are a great option for women who want fashion, height and comfort while not wanting to cause their bunions or hammertoes to get worse!

Wedge shoes is a great innovation of shoes from pointed heels. Wedge are more balance than pointed heels and you will be more comfortable to walk using it. It is as high fashionable as pointed one.
ReplyDeleteVery True!

Hi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the kind words and for reading the blog!
You might want to try the Wolky 'Tulip', 'Jewel' or 'Cloggy'. They are the best sandals that I know of and the inserts come out and can be replaced with your own custom-molded insert.
I do have some patients who simply cannot wear sandals due to their severe pronation and you might be one of those people but, hopefully, the Wolky's may work for occasional light wear.
Let me know how it goes...
Have a great day!
Cathy
