Evora Brown Sandal — Cork Wedge with NubeFit™ Insole by D'Torres®
The Evora Brown Sandal has been handcrafted in Elche (Alicante) by D'Torres® for women who require therapeutic footwear for daily use. Its combination of a shock-absorbing cork wedge, rigid stabilising outsole and full velcro adjustment system guarantees a personalised fit and optimal biomechanical support throughout the day.
Comfort Technology: NubeFit™ Insole
The NubeFit™ cushioned anatomical insole integrates three key functions in a single component:
- Progressive cushioning: absorbs impact at the heel and forefoot, relieving pressure on the plantar fascia.
- Biomechanical stabilisation: guides the gait pattern and corrects load distribution across the medial longitudinal arch.
- Anti-slip surface: prevents foot slippage within the shoe, reducing the risk of friction and blistering.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Evora Brown Sandal suitable for use with custom orthopaedic insoles?
Yes. The NubeFit™ insole is removable, so it can be replaced by the plantar orthosis prescribed by your podiatrist without compromising the cork wedge support or the velcro fastening. This is one of the most valued features among wearers with plantar fasciitis and metatarsalgia.
Is it recommended for people with diabetic foot?
The Evora Brown offers a cushioned interior, absence of aggressive internal seams and velcro fastening that minimises pressure points — all characteristics valued in the care of the low-risk diabetic foot. However, for peripheral neuropathy or active ulceration, we recommend the DiabCare® range by D'Torres®, specifically designed under protective protocols for the diabetic foot. Always consult your specialist.
Is the velcro system sufficient for feet with pronounced bunions?
The full velcro adjustment system of the Evora Brown allows a generous opening that adapts to the forefoot circumference even in the presence of moderate-to-severe bilateral hallux valgus. The upper material yields to the warmth of the foot, preventing friction over the bony prominence of the bunion.
