Ordinary Teva-type sandals with fairly thick, hollow soles. Their soles are filled with sand, or perhaps very small and slightly sticky plastic beads, which contour to the wearer's foot to provide excellent arch support and a truly custom fit.

if one had flat feet then these sand-als would become flat support - that can't be right, surely? |

Shoe manufacturers are notoriously arch-centric. Aside from the people who make flip-flops, most shoe manufacturers assume that the wearer has arches, which causes an uncomfortable bulge for people who don't. |

I once dated someone with unusually-shaped feet. To say that they were grossly misshapen would be an overstatement, but let's say that narrow or wide sizes just didn't fit the bill for her. Okay, okay, she had flippers. Arch-less flippers with narrow heels and hobbit-toes. |

Something like this could form-fit a narrow heel and sausage toes or just about any podiatric nightmare... |

perhaps the sole would deform as often as it conformed to the wearers foot shape... perahps the thermal-setting plasic beads would be a better, more permanent solution, or perhaps that defeats the purpose (think custom-fit ski boots). As for a bead, all I can think of is how uncomfortable it is to go from normally sleeping on a mattress to sleeping on a beach... |

Walking with bare feet is one of the few charge-free sensorial experiences of this world. |
