“Slippers” are Hawaii’s everyday footwear. Others may call them sandals, or flip-flops, but they’re slippers to us: you “slip” them on and “slip” them off.  No hassle, just convenience. Since shoes aren’t worn in the house, slippers sit permanently outside every door, providing the easiest way to get out and about. Whether it’s doing yard work, walking the dog, going out to dinner, or wearing them to work, slippers are our way.

Wiivv is crafting a slipper (sandal) that’s unique to each owner’s foot and perfect for allowing us to enjoy our casual lifestyle in comfort! (If you’re not aware of how bad slippers/sandals are for your body, check this out:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om1-xxFMEs8 ) When ordering, I used their app to take pictures of the width and length of each foot as well as a profile of each arch. Wiivv uses these pictures to create a slipper with the arch support and fit that is custom to my feet. They sent me a pair to review, and I’m impressed.

According to Wiivv, they use the latest technology to map your feet and create products that have been biomechanically enhanced for your exact foot. Plus, they’re made in the U.S. and are recyclable!

It’s not just the arch support that’s custom. Everything is custom! The straps are adjustable! I can adjust the inside and outside straps so the slipper fits me perfectly. On the side of the slipper are inserts that allow the strap to move up and down the sole, which tightens or loosens the strap on each side of the foot.

I don’t know how many times my slippers failed because the toe-thong portion of the strap breaks free from the sole. Wiivv has a locking mechanism that makes for a durable connection and allows for changing out the strap.

Since each point of strap attachment is removable, straps are now interchangeable! Tired of one color, just swap them out for another! My wife loves this. For me it’s a bit different, I don’t have to worry about my new Daschund chewing on my straps. I can just get new ones to replace the damaged ones.

The custom arch gives solid and cushioned support when walking through out the day. I didn’t know what I was missing. I have been getting over some planter fasciitis (sore arches) the last year, and having the custom support under my feet makes walking a dream. I put my OLD slippers back on to feel the difference, and it was like standing on a piece of cardboard. Wiivv has produced the perfect footwear for our Hawaiian lifestyle, and they have a 30 day “Happiness Guarantee”. If you don’t like them, just return them for a full refund.

I’m so excited about the slippers (sandals), I’m going to buy their custom fitted insoles for my shoes!

Price: $129.00. They often have special sales so keep an eye out for them!
