You wear them to the beach. You wear them down the street. You wear them around the house... But most people don’t know the humble pair of thongs has also been responsible for a litany of painful posture related medical conditions because they don’t actually support your feet! In fact studies have revealed the old flip-flops harm your body more than if you wear nothing on your feet at all!

But no more… In a world first a Melbourne team of experts has designed new (orthotic) flip-flops (equilibras™) which look as cool as the old ones but include an invisible inbuilt orthotic which supports your feet and corrects your posture and eliminates stress on your nervous system caused by faulty foot function. The invention transforms the humble flip-flop into revolutionary medical footwear – but look just like the old ones, which were doing untold damage.

HERE’S OUR CHALLENGE. Try to tell them apart!

These are flip-flops for the new millennia. Two double blind studies have revealed remarkable results. The new orthotic flip-flops (equilibras™) came through with flying colors. They caused no foot induced stress on the nervous system whilst providing alignment, control and shock absorption. Amazingly they produced invigorating stimulation i.e. enhancement of the nervous system as measured by an increase in muscular strength response . The studies showed equilibras™ were beneficial for all feet (normal, pronated and supinated).

In contrast walking barefoot or in standard flip-flops consistently produced significant stresses on the body, as measured by a decrease or inhibition of neurophysiological response, potentially harmful for the entire neuro-musculo-skeletal system.

The time has come. equilibras™ will not only make your legs and body look great and invigorate your nervous system, but at last you can have cool flip-flop feet and your body will still love you.

The iconic, evergreen rubber beach thong better known overseas as flip flops, jandals or sandals has been a most popular foot wear item since its inception many years ago and in mild climates appears to be worn as all year round casual foot wear throughout the day. It has changed very little over this time and though very poor in its biomechanical support of the foot it has so far outlasted most attempts to be replaced by contoured more supportive models.

Our team of podiatrists, chiropractors, surgeons and footwear manufacturers has been disturbed by the rapidly increasing incidence of biomechanical foot problems leading over time to all types of compensations and pathologies throughout the body via a kinetic chain reaction effect. This appears to span across all socio-economic boundaries and now afflicting younger and younger generations. An observation shared by many professionals.

This observation sparked the idea to produce a generic supportive orthotic flat rubber thong of equal appearance to the current thongs but of higher comfort and far superior biomechanical control.

"I'm on my feet all day and end up with swollen ankles and painful feet every night. Since wearing e-flips™ all my symptoms have disappeared."
J.P. Qld Australia

Since an accident two years ago, which shattered my heel and tore the ligaments in my ankle, I have experienced continuous pain when wearing shoes or ordinary thongs. My work in the entertainment industry requires long periods on my feet with frequent lifting making it hard to walk in the mornings. I could not belief the immediate improvement just from wearing equilibras™. No my whole family is wearing them.

I felt the benefits of my equilibras™ flip‐flops within a very short time – the difference is fantastic! My whole body feels more balanced and better prepared for my training and performance… I would recommend equilibras to anyone.

As someone who suffers from chronic foot pain, equilibras™ has helped me immensely! They help to relieve my leg pain and I am able to wear them all day at Uni without any pain, which I certainly can't do in normal footwear. I have also found improvements with fluid retention and swollen feet, which I always get when wearing non‐supportive footwear. equilibras™ are stylish and simple which is very important to me. They are truly a miracle shoe!"

I am extremely impressed with the equilibras™ orthotic flip‐flop and the significant benefits it brings to all who wear them. It is very innovative and combines the orthotic support, neural stimulation and healthy foot sense in a flip‐flop, which would normally be reserved for a high end sporting shoe and or orthotic insert. I am more than happy to recommend this product.

These equilibras™ are fantastic. As practitioners, we all know how bad the standard thong/jandal/flip flop is for the health of the foot and indeed, the overall body biomechanics and neurological function. Now at last with the new equilibras™, we have the fashion appeal, convenience and low cost of the standard thong but now coupled with genuine comfort and support, extreme durability, and most importantly correct biomechanics and neurological acceptance.

As a teenager, I suffered from chronic knee problems and was wearing custom made orthotics. These revolutionary equilibras™ flip‐flops have given me superior support to any other inner sole I've worn in the past. They are incredibly comfortable and durable. I've taken them to the beach, the pool and even on shopping trips down trendy Chapel Street and they've been a talking point at every turn. Best of all, my own disposition has been remarkably uplifted. I feel great in them and at the end of a long day on my feet, I feel even better for having found my equilibras™!
R.E. Journalist Ch.10, Vic Australia

I consider myself as having the world’s worst feet. I need custom made orthotics just to make it through the week. Since wearing equilibras™ I have no more symptoms and feel more energetic. I'm in heaven!

I am a professional surf champion. Since wearing e-flips™ my knees feel good again. I whish I could surf on equilibras™!
