Velous Footwear’s sandals incorporate the company’s patent-pending Tri-Motion™ Technology and proprietary triple-density Foamotion Formula foam to provide exactly what feet need at each part of the foot strike motion, from supportive heel contact and arch support through toe-off to the next step.
“As both a podiatrist and an athlete, I know how crucial it is to wear the right shoes to support foot health and recovery,” said Dr. Tim Mineo, DPM, board-certified podiatrist and competitive cyclist. “I wear and recommend VELOUS products to my patients and I can say first-hand that these sandals promote healing by keeping feet in a supportive and relaxed position. Earning the APMA Seal of Acceptance further confirms that VELOUS Footwear sandals are true leaders in the industry.”
The APMA Seal of Acceptance provides VELOUS customers with the peace of mind that each VELOUS product is crafted with a focus on exceptional comfort and foot health.
“VELOUS Sandals are my top choice after a tough workout or long run,” said Nadia Ruiz, an accomplished runner and marathon veteran. “Having just completed my 158th marathon in Chicago this year, I’ve logged countless miles and tested many recovery footwear brands, but VELOUS sandals provide the best support and recovery I need to train day after day.”
