Palma Beige Sandal D'Torres® with NubeFit™ Anatomical Footbed
The Palma Beige Sandal by D'Torres® is a ladies' therapeutic sandal designed for those who seek clinical comfort without sacrificing everyday elegance. Handcrafted in Elche (Alicante), it combines premium-quality materials with an orthopaedic construction engineered to care for the foot with every step.
Materials and Construction
Upper: High-Quality Adaptable Nappa Leather
The upper is crafted in adaptable nappa leather, a soft and flexible material that progressively moulds to the morphology of the foot. Particularly indicated for women with wide feet, hallux valgus (bunions) or hammer toes, as it reduces pressure on bony prominences and minimises the occurrence of friction and helomata (corns).
Fit: Dual Adjustable Instep Buckle System
The dual adjustable buckle system allows the instep volume to be personalised with millimetric precision, accommodating varying foot widths throughout the day — particularly useful in cases of malleolar oedema or mild lipoedema.
NubeFit™ Footbed System
The NubeFit™ footbed is the therapeutic core of this sandal. Its triple-function technology guarantees:
- Impact cushioning: viscoelastic core that absorbs ground reaction forces, protecting the metatarsophalangeal joints, ankles and knees.
- Biomechanical stabilisation: deep heel cup and longitudinal anatomical arch support that control pronation and align the subtalar axis.
- Anti-slip surface: microporous finish on the plantar face that prevents foot slippage inside the footwear, reducing intrinsic muscular effort of the foot.
Clinical note: the NubeFit™ footbed is fixed and integral to the sandal; it does not accommodate a removable custom orthopaedic insole.
Outsole
The high-resistance rigid outsole provides a stable base that limits excessive forefoot flexion, offloading the plantar fascia and the flexor tendons. Its rocker profile facilitates a natural toe-off without overloading the first ray.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the NubeFit™ footbed compatible with custom orthopaedic insoles?
No. The NubeFit™ footbed is permanently integrated into the sandal and is non-removable; it therefore does not accommodate a custom orthopaedic insole. If you require bespoke plantar support, please consult your podiatrist regarding D'Torres® models featuring a removable footbed.
Is the Palma Beige Sandal suitable for the diabetic foot?
Whilst its adaptable nappa leather upper and NubeFit™ cushioning footbed offer beneficial characteristics for sensitive feet, for the diabetic foot with peripheral neuropathy or vasculopathy we recommend consulting your medical team and exploring our specialist DiabCare® range, designed with a reinforced extra-depth toe box and seamless internal materials that minimise the risk of lesions.
How should I choose the correct size if I have wide feet or bunions?
For feet with hallux valgus or wide morphology, we recommend selecting half a size larger than usual and adjusting the instep volume using the dual adjustable buckle. If you are unsure, please contact our specialist customer care team at www.dtorres.com or seek advice from your local orthopaedic supplier or pharmacy.
