Wife has high arched feet with and suffers from plantar Fasciitis and a heel spur, had moderate pain. The two of pairs of orthotic sandals she has brought, are so comfortable, She can wear them all day without pain. A great find.
Bought a pair of thongs. I had to buy 2 sizes bigger to fit. Left one didn’t feel right, I thought it was just because they were new. Found myself hanging out of them on one side on the left foot. On closer inspection found the piece between the toes was crooked. (See photo) I bought them in another state so found it hard to take them back. Show details
No refund policy on shoes. Wore the bucklsandles for 2 hours they broke at buckle (rivet popped out of the synthetic thin strap) same day I purchased. Owner accused me of tying too tight , (not possible to over tighten) And went on to say he wears them push biking?! And they don’t break … why that was relevant I don’t know then called me condicending when I argued what was the point of buckles if they can’t be used?!
These slip ons are my new 'best friend' to take me into summer months – After 18 months of foot and ankle pain, splints, inserts, physio, specialist input etc, & much sandal research, these slip on sandals allowed me to wear other than splint and lace up runners. They were recommended on a foot condition facebook page by others. Such a relief to comfortably walk into summer months. Quite a relief. Impressed. Had to go a size up for me.
Be careful - THEY DON'T REFUND – Last week I was sold $99 slip-on shoes which felt comfortable at the time I bought them. I use my new shoes to go to the shops and as I walk the shoes start to slip off my feet. Not something that happens while walking around a small shop in the middle of the centre. Naturally I tried to tighten them to make them stay on but they just kept… Read more
slipping forward. Since the shoe can’t do the bare minimum (which is to stay on someone’s foot) I went to take them back. I was told to come back another time as this sales person isn’t the one who served me. She couldn’t confirm when that person would be back but in the end, it doesn’t matter who served me, I’m here now and need a solution. They made it clear that no refunds can be given (regardless if shoes have been used or not). So I was offered an exchange but unfortunately all of their shoes kept slipping off. The ones with a strap around the back (their most expensive shoe) were too short around the front and too long at the back. The sales person witnessed all of my attempts to find shoes that could accommodate my feet but there was sadly no solution and they refused to refund me so just be aware: THEY DO NOT REFUND unless the shoe is faulty. Sales tactics are amazing but for a company that believe in their product have a funny way of showing it.
TOP NOTCH COMFORT AND SUPPORT – Been wearing Foot Bio-Tec shoes for 4 years , I have a few different styles and can stand and walk all day with No foot pain. The Insoles from Foot Bio-Tec are just as good as the shoes, I have put them in winter boots, sport shoes and family members work boots. We all have NO foot pain , NO sore knees or backs at the end of the day. Foot Bio-Tec is great quality and good value for money.
Be warned – I believe these shoes have largely contributed to me acquiring cuboid syndrome. Please view pictures
these thongs are dangerous – My wife and I have bought a pair of thongs each and now she won't wear them because they slip easily on our tiles and now I have slipped with mine! The inner soles are good but do not wear their thongs as they are dangerous. Show details
Fabulous Shoes – Bought two pairs of shoes at Stockland, Hervey Bay. And they are fabulously comfortable. They have not been off my feet!! Thank You Kathy with a ‘K’ You were great! I hope I don’t wear them out before I come back for next year’s holiday. Show details

Best scuffs ever worn – I bought these Sam scuffs about a year ago, and they have been fantastic. They are hardly worn at all despite me wearing them every day, the most comfortable and best value shoes I have ever purchased. Show details
Best orthotics I have ever bought! – My mother had spinal surgery and after the surgery she kept falling over. I purchased a pair of the rachel sandals for her in one of their pop up stores. Mum has had no more falls! She said they seem to stabilize her feet when she is walking and she doesn't have pain in her feet now. She wears them when she goes shopping and when she goes walking… Read more
and they don't rub or pinch her feet. I tore tendons in my foot and I purchased the same sandals and I have also found a difference from other orthotics I have previously purchased. I can wear these shoes all day and I don't get sore or aching feet at all. The price of them is also half of what I normally pay and they are a soft leather with full arch support and very well made. I will definitely be buying these again!
Fixed my Plantar fasciitis – Spent nearly $1000 at the padiatrist trying to fix my plantar fasciitis. Had orthotics made and 6x shock wave therapy. It worked ok, but I put buying Foot Bio-tec shoes helped seal the deal. It was the extra support I needed for the casual shoe days that my orthotics didn't. Being able to slip them on around the house and have support 24/7 that… Read more
finally had me pain free. I own two pairs. Will buy again and highly recommend in conjunction with other therapies.

Waste of money and rude customer service – I purchased a pair they was great at the start but within 4 months had worn to near a flat arch. I went to the place I got them from I asked if I could exchange them as we could both see that the support they claim to help with had worn completely. The lady in store agreed with me completely and rang her boss to exchange them. Only to be told no!… Read more
And that the grey soles are harder. I now have gone back to normal flip flops at a price of $10 not $90 for the exact same affect. Just be aware they don't last long there great at start when walking out of shops.
love my thongs – I bought a few pairs of thongs. It has been the best thing I did. No more sore knees I can go walking around my neighbour now. I would like to send a special thanks to Daniel> He was so helpful and nice he made my purchasing so easy> I will Definitely be purchasing more shoes as I need them.
Really putting your foot in it! – I recently bought a pair of 'Shore' thongs upon hearing some rave family (of mine) comments/reviews! You know, once you get used to the extra arch support which feels a bit lumpy at first from not normally having it, you do kinda get used to it, and having the extra support for your arches, you know that's got to be a good thing! I'll definately be sticking with them as I know there's been a lot of good science that's gone into them!
great shoes – Had a small problem with my first pair of shoes, rang the company and my shoes were replaced straight away no trouble at all. I love my shoes they do hurt at first, but after wearing for a short while they are excellent, I will definitely be buying more.
So comfortable and NO PAIN IN MY KNEE! – These shoes have kept me out of knee surgery and pain free. The price is fantastic and there is a style for everyone. I was so enthusiastic buying my fourth pair the assistant suggested I sell them so now I am a very proud employee working 2 days a week here in North Brisbane passing on my experience and helping others. I don't wear any other… Read more
shoes and if it's chilly I have the insoles called "Rivers" in my slippers. Give them a go, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by beating that pain!
Most comfortable shoes I have – I bought my own bio tec thongs, although I’d call them a slide, from a pop up shop at the Sunshine Plaza in Maroochydore Queensland. They are the most comfortable shoes I own. They helped my feet while I had Planter Fascitus ? And now I have fixed that the arch support is amazing and I can walk in them all day. I would like to see them come in… Read more
black and white. At the moment they seem to be only available in navy and a crimson colour. I have tried to find out when they will be back on the Sunshine Coast as there is another pair I’d like to try it I really need to try them first. I’d wish they made a pair I could wear to work where I need a more professional look.
Happy feet – Wendy Best shoe. Best style. Best price . I bought them from strathpine centre the assistant was very helpful and not pushy I bought one pair loved them went back the next week got another pair it's like walking on a cloud
wish they were in every state besides NSW – i usually wear 7.5 or 8.i bought and 8 just fit -i have fat feet so adjustable straps are fine for me right now. The colour said grass and they looked yellow in picture but they are lime.I bought on ebay
Can improve – Received these Australian designed sandals ex e-bay @ $71 so are priced OK. You need to order next size up as not true to size. Found them to be of reasonable quality and hardly as comfortable as made out in advertising for my plantar fasciitis but it is early days. The adjustable straps are a let down as at max velcro positioning still are… Read more
loose. Would be good if you have fat or high arched feet but with flat feet they are a little loose even with summer wearing socks.
