Foot Pressure Studies
Results of a study conducted by Salford University – comparing a foot in a FitFlop sandal to a foot wearing a control shoe – showed average reductions in the overall pressure-loading rate* (-25%), pressure in the toes (-30%) and pressure in the heels (-15%).
An average 8% increase in contact area between the foot and the midsole was observed in FitFlop wearers with the increase manifesting mainly under the arch area.
