<p>An orthopedic sandal for correction of hammer toes and Hallux Valgus (X-toe) being a lever arm extending along the longitudinal axis of the sole of a sandal and being pivotally connected to the sole in its rearward portion. A toe holding bar for pressing the toes downward is connected to the free end of the lever arm and various embodiments of mechanisms for moving the large toe medially for correcting Hallux Valgus are operatively associated with the lever arm. Further mechanisms for stretching the large toe in conjunction with the intermittent treatment of the Hallux Valgus are operatively interconnected with the mechanisms for moving the large toe medially.</p> |
