The Wellrox Sandals are made with yogis in mind. They boast thongs for each digit, separating toes as though the walker were about to ground his or her feet for a particularly strong mountain pose at a red light. In a way, the Wellrox Sandals are the summer version of the Vibram Five Finger shoes. Nevertheless, these sandals are not meant to replicate a barefoot feeling without the bared feet.
Based out of New York City, the Wellrox Sandals are instead outfitted with "signature GRABS technology that provides increased grip and toe alignment for a more balanced and comfortable fit," as written on its website. Available in various styles from sporty to chic, the Wellrox Sandals are made out of the finest materials including leather for the upper and rubber for the soles.
