Orthaheel Tide Flip Flops
Flip flop sandals are an essential for Summer and, if you’re like me, you spend a lot of your time in them. They are easy to slip on and off during our active and busy Summer days and they look great whether we are wearing them with shorts, pants, a dress, or a swimsuit. Flip flops are without a doubt the most versatile Summer shoes in our closet.
Picking the right flip flop, however, is not a easy task. There are so many styles to choose from and most often we pick the style that we like the best without a thought to how they will feel on our feet. However, simple as they may be, a flip flop with good support and stability makes a big difference!
I recently received a pair of Tide Flip Flops from Orthaheel and have had a chance to wear them regularly for nearly 2 months and I must say these are the most comfortable flip flops I’ve ever owned! It’s not surprising as they were developed by a podiatrist and are endorsed by Dr. Andrew Weil. They are not the flimsy beach-type sandals that you will need to replace after a couple of months . They are substantial but also very lightweight at the same time.
When I first put on my Tide flip flops, there were 2 things I noticed immediately. The first is how comfortable the footbed was. It fit and supported my feet perfectly, providing stability underfoot. According to the Orthaheel website, the footbed also has a built in orthotic that helps prevent pronation. Pronation occurs when the foot rolls inwards and the arch of the foot flattens and it is a common and painful problem for many. The 2nd thing I noticed is how comfortable the toe post is. I’ve gotten thongs before where the toe post is so painful after only a few hours. Not the case with these sandals. I’ve worn them all day and have had no pain! The toe post is constructed of a soft woven material and is foam lined providing all day comfort.
Not only are they great for your feet, but they also look great too. The Tide flip flops have an upper made of woven/polyurethane and padded neoprene and they are available in some great colors for Summer (shown below). At only $54.99, the Tide Sandals are priced well and your feet will love them! And you will feel great wearing them all day!
Orthaheel also makes some other great styles of sandals that are worth checking out. I’ve got my eye on the Seatrek sandals. Shown below, they have an adjustable hook and loop strap and a shiny croco patterned upper.
Orthaheel sandals can be found in some select retail shoe stores but the most convenient way to get them is online directly from the Orthaheel website.

Stylish, Eco-Friendly Shoes
For Earth Day, I’d like to recognize some great shoe brands that have shown that you don’t have to sacrifice style if you want to wear shoes that are eco-friendly and socially-responsible. In the past, “eco-friendly” shoes have gotten a reputation of being plain and rather boring. Today, however, the growing awareness of the need for environmentally friendly footwear has also led to wider variety of designs and styles to choose from in recently years.
Here are just a few notable eco-friendly shoe brands that have impressive designs.
OlsenHaus
OlsenHaus is a 100% vegan shoe brand, which means they use no leather, fur, wool or silk. Shoe materials include ultra suede, organic cotton, canvas, nylon, velvet, linen, and cork. The use of these kinds of material contribute to far less pollution and, since they do not use leather, they utilize only a fraction of the energy it takes to process or tan leather. Their shoes are made in Central America where there factories are monitored for fair trade practices, fair wages and proper facilities. Visit their website for more information on their philosophy and practices for making eco-friendly shoes.

Lastly, I’d just like to mention one other brand- Naya- that I recently wrote about. Eco-friendly Naya shoes are the the latest line of shoes from the Brown Shoe company. Their collection offers a very affordable selection of eco-friendly footwear made with sustainable materials, nickel free buckles and chrome-free leather, ranging around $100-150.
Platform Sandals by Antelope
Launched in 1982, Antelope is an established brand from Israel. Only in the last year or so have I seen this brand marketed online in the US. I enjoyed their boots from last Fall (many of which are now on sale), but I especially love their platform sandals this Spring. Antelope Footwear
uses the finest materials to create unique trendsetting designs that are stylish as well as comfortable.
Slip into style when you slip on the Antelope 715 sandals (pictured to the left). The sleek leather upper wraps your foot in soft leather and I love the asymmetrical lines. The peep-toe design and adjustable slingback also add a bit of sass. The platform is covered in cork, giving this sandal a sleek but casual look. The heel is a stylish, yet very comfortable 3-1/4 inches with 1-1/4 inch platform. Shown here in Black, the Antelope 715 Sandal
is also available in Gray, Green, or Coffee.
Strappy sandals are taking center stage this Spring and Summer, and the styles seem to be endless. However, it is the lovely turquoise color of these fabulous sandals that got my attention. The Antelope 811 (shown below) is a colorful sandal that sits atop a chunky platform with a slight wedge heel. The leather upper features dark turquoise straps that criss-cross over the top of the foot and extend from the soft beige platform. Small pewter nail heads fasten matching leather patches around the front and back of the platform for a unique contrast. Wear these fun and stylish sandals with jeans or shorts. Also available in Yellow or Black
.
