Beech Sandals are the latest development in healthy footwear and have been developed to offer wearers both function and design.
Beech Sandals were originally conceived as part of Dr. Gayle Trenberth's research into the psychology of grounding.
A professional Mind and Body Trainer, Trenberth discovered the unique benefits that equal toe separation has on the alignment, balance and 'grounding' of the feet and body. From that point on she developed the concept into footwear with the aim of transferring the benefits of re-alignment into everyday footwear. The result was Beech Sandals!
"It takes constant attention and work to address a lifetime of bad habits developed since our childhood, and we shouldn't mind using aids that help us in that journey. One aid for me has been Beech Sandals, which relax my toes, align the bones in my feet, support my heel bone properly and help me walk in a natural, balanced and grounded way" Dr. Gayle Trenberth
Today Beech are viewed by Podiatrists, Beauty Experts, Osteopaths and Yoga enthusiasts as the ultimate well-being flip-flop, able to offer specific benefits to a variety of users.

The feet form a sturdy foundation for our body and are what allow us to move about. Each foot contains 26 bones, 33 muscles, 31 joints, 107 ligaments and has over 7000 nerve ending in each foot. In fact, 25% of all bones in our body are located in the feet so it comes as no surprise that we MUST look after them!!!
Compare your foot to a young child’s - what do you see..? A young foot is agile and naturally spread while yours is somewhat narrow and rounded. Years of cramming your feet in to unsuitable, narrow shoes have taken their toll and your feet loose their young, agile shape and flexibility. We then begin to walk with the bones of our feet jammed together and our natural balance and body alignment is lost. Often, without mobility in the bones of our feet, disorders such as osteo-arthritis, plantar fasciitis, fallen arches, varicose veins, hammertoe, bunions, general pain and poor circulation can occur.
Beech Sandals have four "toe separators” which stretch the 26 bones in the feet helping them become mobile and youthful again.
Beech Sandals help alleviate those potential problems by stretching the toes and retraining your feet. Stretch Technology increases foot strength and encourages much greater toe and ankle flexibility. As the foot bones regain mobility, balance, body alignment, improved posture is restored, often resulting in reductions of leg, hip and back problems.

Beech Sandals offer both function and design and can be used to for a variety of reasons.
Health
Wearing unsuitable shoes means that the bones in our feet are jammed together and we can loose our natural alignment and balance. Often, without mobility in the bones of our feet, disorders such as osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, fallen arches, varicose veins, hammertoe, bunions, general pain and poor circulation can occur.
Beech Sandals help alleviate those potential problems by stretching the toes and retraining your feet. Flex Technology increases foot strength and encourages much greater toe and ankle flexibility. As the foot bones regain mobility, our balance, body alignment and posture is improved, which often results in reductions of leg, hip and back problems.
Examined and approved by Doctors of Osteopathy, Podiatrists, Chiropractors, Yoga and Health Instructors, the Beech Sandal is good for the body as they promote yogic principles of spreading the toes for grounding, balance and correct body alignment. Yoga
Yoga students are taught to spread the toes, thus grounding the feet, while doing the standing asana (yoga positions that promote focus, flexibility and strength). Our YogaSandals™ help train the foot to spread the toes through gentle movement and walking throughout the day. This gentle spacing of the toes aligns the feet with the ankle, the knee, the hip and posture. The toe separation opens up the 26 bones of the feet and helps those bones become mobile, as they were meant to be.
Pedicure
When your nails are ready for a polish, slip on the sandal, polish those nails and walk away. Get going with your daily activities, allowing the polish to dry over time.
Everyday Wear
They can't be kicked off as a single thong sandal can be, they don't slide around on the feet, and you don’t' have to squeeze the toes together to keep the sandal on the feet. Customers, health professionals, yoga instructors praise the stability of these sandals and their vast improvement over single thong sandals.
Q. I have just started wearing my Beech Sandals and I have to say they are very painful indeed – will this eventually ease off?
A. Stretch Technology is correcting all those years of cramming that has happened and will not be pleasurable to start off with – you are actively opening and stretching your toe bones and joints . Please persevere as just 10 minutes a day will transform your feet, the way you walk and the way you feel.
Q. I am waiting to have a Bunion operation next year, are Beech Sandals suitable?
A. Yes they are!! In fact, Beech Sandals could have prevented the development of the bunion through as little as 10 minutes of stretching every day since they hold the feet as per a night splint. As bunions are caused by misalignment of the bones in the big toe, in a similar way to the splints, the Beech Sandal helps to re-train the foot by lengthening and spreading the toes and encouraging space, which improves foot alignment
Q. I have just had my Bunion surgically removed – are Beech Sandals suitable?
A. Yes providing it’s a good few weeks after surgery. Please always consult your Podiatrist before wearing Stretch Technology.
Q. I regularly play football and my feet really hurt after wearing my football boots – are Beech Sandals suitable for Men?
A. Yes they are suitable for everyone!! Simply follow the fitting instructions to ensure you order your correct size. Men’s Black Beech Quattro style is available in sizes UK9 – 11 and will correct all those years of cramming your feet in to those beloved football boots.
Q. I am an avid Yogi, would Beech Sandals be suitable for me?
A. The beech sandal is wonderful to help yoga students to maintain good grounding and stability within their practice. With the unique toe dividers the foot continues to follow the in-print of lengthening and spreading the toes taught throughout the standing postures. The sandal helps to continuously train the foot to lengthen and broaden through gentle movement and walking, throughout the day. This gentle spacing of the toes aligns the feet with the ankle, the knee, the hip and overall posture.
Q. I run a Beauty Salon and they look like fantastic pedicure toe separators; are they suitable for this type of use?
A. The Beech Sandal has become increasingly popular with Spa’s and Beauty Salons. The sandal has a unique design, with built in toe separators to keep the toes apart; perfect to slip on before your pedicure and no more waiting for polish to dry, leaving your Clients free to get on with their day.
Review written by : Janet King
Product Comment : These take a couple of days to get used to around the toes but are well worth it - they are so comfy I am always reluctant to wear anything else! They do come up small in sizes - as a normal 6 I needed the large size. Fab sandals - now want every colour! Great service too - thanks,
JK
How did they fit ? I needed a full size larger
Width Fitting Guide: Feedback suggests these are running a little small - if you're on the larger end of the size bracket our advice would be to go up to the next size. Please note: it is normal if you find excess space at the front of the sandals. This allows room for the toes to spread and straighten.

"Beech sandals are a very good idea for dancers." - Mrs Mohain
"The first Beech Sandals I bought were so comfortable, I bought a second pair: one pair to wear in the house, one pair to wear on holiday abroad." - Mrs M Graham
"OOH! now Ive found your site I am looking forward to a long and happy time as a customer! Keep up the good work. Despite repeatedly asking my own GP for something to help with the "twisted toes" the best he could come up with was "those things to put between your toes to put nail varnish on"!!!!!!! I also used gel toe protectors - hopefully the Beach Sandals will make such things a distant memory.!" - Gill Noppen-Spacie
