Orthotic Thongs for Christmas
December 19, 2025
Supportive Summer Footwear for Christmas Gifting
We have a great range of orthotic thongs available in our clinic—perfect for summer and an ideal addition to your Christmas gift ideas. They combine comfort, support, and style, making them a practical option for the warmer months. Even better, there’s no need to deal with busy shopping centres when you visit us.
Orthotic summer footwear plays an important role in supporting foot health, particularly during periods of increased activity and time spent in open shoes. To learn more about why supportive footwear matters, we recommend reading our previous blog post.
You may also find it helpful to refer to our articles on Sever’s Disease and Plantar Heel Pain, which explain how orthotic footwear can be used clinically to support these conditions and improve comfort and function.
As the days get longer and the temperatures rise, many of us are ready to swap our closed shoes for sandals and thongs. But for those who rely on orthotics, summer can pose a real challenge. Traditional flip-flops and many open-toed shoes don’t offer the support or stability required to keep your feet pain-free. The good news? At Nelson Bay Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre, we’re here to help you stay supported and stylish this summer.
Our Summer Footwear Range at Nelson Bay Physio
At Nelson Bay Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre, we stock a carefully selected range of orthotic-friendly footwear designed to keep your feet happy, even in the hottest months.
Here are some of our top summer options:
1. VIONIC/SCHOLL/ORTHOHEEL ARCH SUPPORT THONGS
These are a game-changer for thong lovers as they look like regular thongs but feature:
- Arch support similar to an orthotic
- A comfortable, one-piece design with no toe clawing
- Lightweight, shock-absorbing materials
They’re a great alternative if you can’t wear your full orthotics to the beach or pool.
2. REVERE SANDALS
Revere is known for combining comfort, support, and style. These sandals feature:
- Removable footbeds for orthotic insertion
- Adjustable straps for a customised fit
- A wide range of styles—from casual to dressy
Perfect for anyone looking to stay orthotic-compliant without sacrificing summer fashion.
3. VIONIC FOOTWEAR
Vionic shoes are podiatrist-designed and offer built-in orthotic support. For summer, Vionic offers:
- Sandals and slides with deep heel cups and arch support
- Stylish designs for both men and women
- Options for all-day wear—great for travel and walking holidays
