The footbed surprised me most. My arch feels supported and my heel sits much better than in flat slides.

One shape, chosen in the shop, worn all day.
The wide fit. Made room at the front, slid at the heel.
The toe spacers. Sat there. Sitting there is all they do.
The corrector. Works fine, as long as you're home.
Your foot doesn't stay the same all day. Nothing you own accounts for that.

Our story
Started with one pair that didn't exist
Wide fit made room but slid. Correctors never left the house. Every option asked her to choose between room for her toe and something she'd wear out. So we built the adjustment into the sandal itself.Wide fit made room but slid. Correctors never left the house. So we built the adjustment into the sandal itself.
Read our storyThe questions everyone asks
Will this correct my bunion?
We're careful about this. Alina's strap offers gentle, adjustable guidance for your big toe while you wear them, and many people find that more comfortable through the day. It is not a medical device and we don't claim it corrects or cures bunions — anything that promises that in a sandal is overpromising.
How is this different from toe spacers?
Spacers are passive — they hold one gap, and that's all they do. The AdaptFit™ dial is adjustable: a fine cable eases the strap in or out, click by click, while the sandals are on your feet.
Can I wear them outdoors, or just at home?Can I wear them outdoors?
They're real sandals — outsole, arch support, cupped heel — made for walking outdoors. The 30-day guarantee covers indoor wear only, so try them on carpet first until you're sure.
What if I'm between sizes?
Order the size you usually take and use the dial for fine adjustment. If it's not right, size exchanges are free.
Can I wear them all day?
That's the idea. Start with shorter wears while your feet get used to the guidance, and loosen the dial whenever you want a rest — standing up, without taking them off.

I usually know pretty quickly when a sandal will rub my bunion. Wore these through lunch and a walk around town and felt fine the whole time.
Honestly way cuter on than I expected.
I work in retail and notice bad soles fast. These feel solid underfoot without being heavy.
Took the white pair on vacation and wore them with dresses most evenings. They honestly just look like normal sandals, which is exactly what I wanted.
Definitely feels more substantial than my usual slides. The molded footbed was the first thing I noticed out of the box.
Black pair came on a proper dog walk today. Pavement, grass, lots of stopping. No rubbing by the time we got home, which is rare for me.
I also have plantar fasciitis, so flat sandals are normally useless for me. The arch support is why I keep wearing these, even on longer walking days.
My left bunion is worse than my right. With a little adjustment, that big toe visibly sits straighter in the sandal.
The little raised dots are subtle. I notice the shaped footbed and arch support much more when I’m standing around.
I can see my big toe move over slightly when I adjust the front strap. It takes some pressure off the bump for me without feeling forced.
I wanted comfort without the orthopedic look. These still work with jeans and dresses, which was a big deal for me.
Nurse here. My feet are already tired on days off, so having a sandal that doesn’t press against my bunion is lovely for errands and weekends.
I never remember separate toe spacers. Having the adjustment built into a sandal I’m already wearing makes much more sense for me.
Teacher here. After a week on classroom floors, I wore these for errands and didn’t get my usual bunion ache.
Yes I tried them with socks first lol. I was impatient and wanted to wear them the second the box arrived.
My forefoot is wide but my heel tends to slip. These give me room at the front without feeling loose everywhere else.
Much better than the flat slides I wore before.
The soft area where my bunion sits is the best part for me. No hard seam pressing directly on the sore spot.
Hairstylist here, so I basically live on my feet. Went shopping after work and realized later the usual bunion throbbing never really started that evening.
I have flat feet and heel pain on longer walks. The footbed feels firm, but supportive rather than hard.
The toe strap is what makes these different. A small adjustment moves my big toe over and takes pressure off the bump.
Once I found the amount of toe guidance I liked, I left it alone. My toe sits straighter and feels more comfortable.
I wear linen pants and long dresses all summer. The black pair looks normal enough that nobody would guess they’re for bunions, which I really appreciate.
I normally carry backup sneakers when I commute in sandals. Made it through the station, work and dinner without changing shoes, so that impressed me.
That bunion cushion is so soft. It makes a huge difference when I walk around.
I’m on my feet most of the day at a pharmacy. The arch support makes these wearable for more than quick errands.
My feet swell in hot weather. Being able to loosen them later in the day is honestly such a relief.
Wore them all afternoon and completely forgot about my feet, which almost never happens for me in sandals.
Bought them for the bunion but I also have plantar fasciitis. The arch support ended up being what I notice most.
I normally cover my bunion before a long day because I know where rubbing starts. Forgot this time and got home with no raw spot at all.
These basically live by my front door now. School pickup, groceries, coffee, whatever. I just put them on and go.
Really supportive, easy to wear, and comfortable enough for errands without my feet getting sore.
Wanted something simple in black with more support than a flat slide. The footbed feels solid and my big toe has room.
No burning on the bump after errands. That almost never happens.
I mainly bought these because my big toe is drifting toward the others. With the front strap adjusted it sits noticeably straighter while the sandal is on. I’m not saying my foot is fixed, but it does feel like there is less pressure pushing back into the bunion when I walk.
Museum day test. Five hours of those horrible hard floors and way too much standing around. My feet were tired but the bunion pain never really kicked off. Usually the train ride home is when I regret wearing sandals.
Plantar fasciitis is actually what makes sandal shopping hardest for me. Anything completely flat annoys my heel, then anything supportive seems to squeeze my bunion. These sit in a much better middle ground. Arch support underneath and room around the joint.
Bunion on one foot and plantar fasciitis on the same one. Excellent luck 😂 The toe strap is useful but the arch support is what keeps me in these for longer walks. My heel has been much calmer than it was in my old flat slides.
Toe sits straighter. Bunion hurts less. Sold.
