NubeFit™ Technology: High-Performance Anatomical Insole

The NubeFit™ insole integrated into the Gemma Sandal is fixed and non-removable, designed to provide constant biomechanical support from the very first wear:

• Superior shock absorption: absorbs impact at the heel and forefoot, reducing plantar pressure with every step.
• Longitudinal arch stabilisation: the medial arch raise prevents excessive pronation and relieves tension on the plantar fascia.
• Anatomical heel cup: centres and stabilises the calcaneus, improving lower limb alignment.
• Non-slip surface: provides secure internal grip, particularly recommended for fatigued feet or those with reduced sensitivity.
• Breathable microfibre lining: optimal moisture management, keeping the foot cool and hygienic throughout the day.

High-Comfort Rigid Outsole

• Rigid outsole that minimises forefoot flexion, offloading the plantar fascia and providing stability during gait.
• Excellent traction on both indoor and outdoor surfaces.
• Perfect combination with the NubeFit™ insole for comprehensive biomechanical comfort.

Therapeutic and Podiatric Indications

• Plantar fasciitis: the arch raise and heel cushioning reduce tension at the calcaneal insertion of the plantar fascia.
• Wide feet and bunions (hallux valgus): the wide last prevents painful pressure on the first metatarsal head.
• Fatigued feet and mild oedema: the adjustable buckle fastening allows volume adaptation throughout the day.
• Mild metatarsalgia: forefoot cushioning relieves pressure on the metatarsal heads.
• Prolonged standing: recommended for women who spend long hours on their feet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the NubeFit™ insole be removed to fit a custom orthotic?

No. The NubeFit™ insole in the Gemma Sandal is fixed and integrated into the footwear; it is non-removable and does not accommodate additional custom orthotics. If you require footwear compatible with bespoke foot orthoses, please consult other D'Torres® models with a removable insole.

Is this sandal suitable for people with severe plantar fasciitis?

The Gemma Sandal is particularly indicated for plantar fasciitis thanks to the combination of the rigid outsole, which limits forefoot flexion, and the NubeFit™ insole, which raises the longitudinal arch and cushions the heel. However, in severe cases we recommend consulting your podiatrist, who will assess whether the footwear is appropriate for your specific treatment plan.

Is this sandal suitable for feet with bunions or pronounced hallux valgus?

Yes. The wide last of the Gemma Sandal is designed to comfortably accommodate feet with bunions (hallux valgus) and forefoot deformities such as hammer toes, avoiding painful friction and pressure on the first metatarsal area. The adjustable buckle fastening also facilitates adaptation to feet with mild oedema or volume variations throughout the day.
