Barefoot Sandal

What Is Barefoot Sandal?

BareFoot Sandal is a patented, slip-resistant orthotic sandal created by a chiropractor with more than 25 years of experience studying the human body, movement, and alignment.

Unlike traditional sandals, slides, or flip-flops, the BareFoot Sandal supports only the midfoot. The toes and heel remain in contact with the ground, allowing the wearer to maintain natural ground awareness and a more barefoot-like experience.

The design incorporates three specialized arches beneath the midfoot to support foot and ankle alignment. Because there is no sole extending beyond the toes, the sandal also eliminates the traditional front edge that can catch on the ground and contribute to tripping.

The sandal is made from flexible, non-toxic thermoplastic rubber. The material flexes under pressure, increasing contact with the walking surface while providing traction on both wet and dry surfaces.

What Makes BareFoot Sandal Different?

Patented heel-less design

The toes and heel remain connected to the ground rather than being elevated on a conventional sole.

Three-arch support

Strategically placed arches support the foot while allowing the toes and heel to move naturally.

Reduced tripping concern

There is no sole projecting in front of the toes to catch against flooring or changes in surface height.

Wet-and-dry traction

The flexible, slip-resistant material is designed for use on surfaces such as tile, smooth flooring, and more.

Natural ground awareness

Direct contact through the toes and heel allows the wearer to better feel the surface beneath them.

Easy everyday use

The open design allows easy wear, making it useful where traditional footwear may feel restrictive.

About Dr. Stephen Steller

After 25 incredible years as a practicing chiropractor, one thing became clear—my feet were paying the price. Long days on my feet at work, plus weekends spent with my wife and our four kids playing sports, visiting theme parks, or simply a walk in the park left me dealing with constant foot pain.

As someone who helps others feel their best, I knew I needed a real solution for myself. I love walking barefoot, but even that wasn’t enough to relieve the discomfort. So, I created something better—the “Safe Step Sandals.”

These orthotic sandals slip on easily while keeping your toes and heel in contact with the ground, so you still get that natural barefoot feel. What makes them different are the three specialized arches under the midfoot, designed to support your foot properly while allowing you to move naturally—without the pain. After wearing my orthotics consistently for about a year, my plantar fasciitis was completely gone.

The relief was life changing. That’s when I decided to take it a step further. To help prevent slips in the shower and on wet surfaces, I developed a patented, shower-friendly version—the “SafeStep Sandal.” It provides the same supportive comfort while adding traction for safety.

Now, you can move comfortably and confidently around your home—even in the shower—with the support and stability your feet deserve.
