OLUKAI
Geller co-signs OluKai’s line of ergonomic sandals. “It’s a favorite of mine that I always recommend to my patients,” he says. “They are comfy, supportive and not flimsy. A flimsy or hyper flexible flip flop will cause your foot to bend in places it shouldn’t or overstretch the places it does.”
OLUKAI
Another supportive sandal from OluKai, this one has received thousands of five-star reviews for its arch-supporting EVA midsole, along with a stylish synthetic leather exterior that looks as good as it feels.

“Tried and true,” Geller says of these classic flip flops. “Leather and cork make up the base which creates structure and support. They also have metatarsal pads built in to help distribute forefoot pressure evenly and a crest pad at the toes to help discourage contracture.”
