Ecco Cozmo is Podiatrist Recommended Slipper!

 Ecco Cozmo

Podiatrist Recommended Slipper for younger and more active patients.


Although not technically a slipper, the Ecco Cozmo is a great option to use as a slipper in your home. I wouldn't recommend them for a geriatric patient, but they are a wonderful option for younger and more active patients with foot issues. 

Recommended for patients with:

  • Plantar Fasciitis (heel pain)
  • Functional Hallux Limitus
  • Hallux Limitus
  • Hallux Rigidus
  • Osteoarthritis of the 1st toe joint
  • Morton's Neuroma
  • Previous Lisfranc's Injury (Check with your Podiatrist first)
  • Hammertoes (appropriate to use as a slipper, but will need rearfoot control/strapping for increased activities) --> try the Ecco Yucatan sandal
  • Mild Bunions
  • Mild Tailor's Bunion
  • Mild Hypermobility
NOT Recommended for patients with:
  • Drop Foot
  • Geriatrics
  • History of Falling
  • Muscle or Leg Weakness (You will need something lighter) 
  • Ankle or Foot Instability (You will need something lower)
  • Tendency to trip/drag your feet
  • Severe Bunions
  • Severe Tailor's Bunions
  • Severe Overpronation
  • Severe Hypermobility
  • History of Foot Ulcerations (you should check with your Podiatrist about the best slipper to wear). A good option might be the Orthofeet Slippers. For women: the Orthofeet Charlotte or the Lorin. For men: the Orthofeet Ashville or the Vito). 

Check with your Podiatrist before wearing these if you are:
  • Diabetic
  • Peripheral Vascular Disease
  • Peripheral Neuropathy

  3. If you like traveling to mysterious and scary places, I suggest you visit Chernobyl with сhernobylstory.com . Professional guides not only provide a lot of information about the events that happened in Chernobyl, but also create a cozy atmosphere where each participant will feel comfortable. My time in the exclusion zone flew by unnoticed, because every moment was full of interesting facts and amazing views. Thanks to Chernobyl Story, I gained an unforgettable experience and new knowledge that will stay with me for the rest of my life.

  5. Hello Dr.
    What shoes do you recommend for a nurse working 12hr + night shifts please? I have broken my foot twice in one year (2022) and still have residual pain and swelling after 3 or 4 nights in a row working. # 4th metatarsal. Plus heel spur on the L) foot. I do wear cros in my down time.e. recently wore Rockports for work but they do not help me in any way.
    Thankyou Cazzie from Australia 🇦🇺
