Gila Gold Sandal D'Torres® – Orthopaedic Comfort with a Refined Finish
The Gila Gold Sandal is a handcrafted creation by D'Torres®, manufacturers of therapeutic footwear in Elche, Alicante, designed for those who need to wear custom orthopaedic insoles daily without compromising on a modern, polished appearance. Its NubeFit™ technology and wide-fit design make it a reference choice within the Confort Urbano by D'Torres® line.
Key Technical Features
Anatomical Wide Fit
The wide fit provides greater volume across the forefoot, instep and heel, reducing pressure on bony prominences such as bunions (hallux valgus), hammer toes or metatarsal widening. Particularly recommended for wide feet, oedematous feet and any deformity requiring additional internal space.
Removable NubeFit™ Insole
The NubeFit™ insole is the heart of this sandal. Designed within the Confort Urbano by D'Torres® line, it offers three key functions:
- Shock absorption: absorbs impact with every step, relieving load on the heel and forefoot.
- Stabilisation: promotes balanced plantar support, contributing to a safer and more efficient gait.
- Non-slip: the inner surface prevents the foot from sliding inside the footwear, maintaining correct positioning throughout the day.
Its removable nature is a fundamental advantage: it can be easily removed and replaced with full-length custom orthopaedic insoles prescribed by your podiatrist or specialist, which are housed completely concealed within the internal cavity of the footwear.
Internal Cavity for Custom Insoles
The Gila Gold Sandal has been designed with an increased internal depth that accommodates full-length orthopaedic insoles without raising the foot excessively or compressing it against the upper. Ideal for podiatric treatments for plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, pes cavus, flat foot or diabetic foot.
Double Adjustable Velcro Fastening
The double Velcro fastening system — at the instep and heel — allows independent adjustment in each area of the foot. This is particularly useful in the presence of oedema, volume variations throughout the day, or when therapeutic bandaging is worn. The fit is precise, secure and straightforward to manage.
Rigid and Lightweight Sole
The sole of the Gila Gold Sandal combines structural rigidity to limit torsion of the foot with a reduced weight that facilitates walking. This feature is especially relevant in pathologies requiring a stable base of support, such as diabetic foot, arthritis or tendinopathies.
Metallic Gold Finish
The metallic gold design adds elegance and versatility, pairing with both casual and smarter looks during the warmer months. Therapeutic function need not conflict with aesthetics: the Gila Gold Sandal can be worn comfortably in everyday urban life.
Who Is the Gila Gold Sandal D'Torres® Suitable For?

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my custom orthopaedic insoles with the Gila Gold Sandal?
Yes. The NubeFit™ insole is removable, so you can easily take it out and insert the full-length custom orthopaedic insoles prescribed by your podiatrist. The internal cavity of the sandal has been designed to house them completely concealed, without placing the foot in an incorrect position.
Is this sandal suitable for diabetic foot?
The Gila Gold Sandal D'Torres® brings together key features for the care of the diabetic foot: a wide fit that avoids pressure points, increased depth for offloading insoles, a rigid sole that limits excessive flexion, and the absence of aggressive internal seams. Nevertheless, we always recommend consulting your podiatrist or specialist physician before choosing the most suitable footwear for your individual case.
Is the double Velcro fastening sufficient to keep the foot secure throughout the day?
The double Velcro fastening on the Gila Gold Sandal allows independent adjustment of the instep and heel, providing firm and personalised support. It is especially useful when the foot varies in volume throughout the day, as occurs in the presence of oedema, or when therapeutic bandaging is worn. You can adjust each fastening according to your needs at any point during the day.
