THE PROBLEM

Your heel takes the hit. All day long.

When you stand, more than half your weight lands on one small spot. Soft foam feels great for an hour, then flattens right where you need it most.

55% HeelSo the first job is absorbing shock here.
25% MidfootNeeds arch support so the foot doesn't sag.
20% ForefootNeeds support across the width of the foot.
Illustrative load distribution on the sole of the foot: heel 55 percent, midfoot 25 percent, forefoot 20 percent

HOW IT WORKS

One Peanut Pad. Three arches.

Most shoes support one arch, or none. pipiu cushions the heel first, then supports all three arches.

Shaped to reach the inner side of the heel, where pressure builds. Removable and rinse-clean.

WHO IT'S FOR

Made for people who stand all day, and feet that hurt every day.

Some people are on their feet for ten hours straight. Some feel it with every step, even at home. pipiu was built for both: cushioning where the heel lands, and support that doesn't give out by evening.

ON YOUR FEET ALL DAY

FEET THAT ACHE EVERY DAY

  • ✓Heel pain. That first step out of bed, or the throb after a long walk.
  • ✓Tired arches. Feet that feel fine in the morning and ache by evening.
  • ✓Over 50. Less natural cushioning under the foot than you used to have.
  • ✓Hard floors at home. A supportive pair instead of bare feet on tile and wood.

WHO'S BEHIND PIPIU

The Master of Foot Rehabilitation

Dr. Dongyeop Kim, PhD

BEFORE~$600for his custom insoles
NOWFrom $68.94built into a clog

For 30 years, Dr. Kim designed custom insoles for orthopedic clinics. Most people who needed one never got one. So he built that same arch structure and heel pad into a clog anyone can wear.

“Everyone who works on their feet has the right to a comfortable pair of shoes.”

“I finally found my go-to shoes.”

I’m on my feet all day for work and have been struggling with plantar fasciitis. I’ve tried compression socks, all kinds of exercises, and countless insoles.

I’ve been wearing these for about two weeks, and they’ve been amazing. I finally found my go-to shoes! Couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!

“Now I’m ordering a pair for my mom.”

I bought a pair for my husband, who’s been struggling with a herniated disc, and he’s been wearing them around the house. He loved them so much that I ordered a pair for myself, too.

I have plantar fasciitis, and walking more than 10,000 steps usually makes it flare up. But when I walk in these, I haven’t had that problem!

Now I’m ordering another pair for my mom, who also struggles with plantar fasciitis.

“Such a great choice for older adults.”

These are such a great choice for older adults. I’m over 50, and the bottoms of my feet don’t have the cushioning they used to. Walking on pavement or hard floors for too long would leave my feet throbbing. My ankles also felt unstable, and I’d nearly slipped several times on uneven ground. Eventually, my knees started hurting, too.

My daughter sent me the link and suggested getting a pair for both me and my mom. I didn’t think much of it when I ordered, but the moment I put them on, I loved how cushioned and snug they felt. The heel cup felt deep and supportive, and my feet didn’t slide sideways or forward. That made me feel much more confident walking.

Even after an hour-long walk, the bottoms of my feet didn’t hurt, and my knee pain was noticeably reduced. My daughter wears her sandals all the time, too. You can really feel the thought that went into the design. Very happy with these!

QUESTIONS

Before you order

Is this just another soft foam clog?

No. Most comfort clogs are one layer of foam. pipiu has a firm, contoured footbed that supports three arches, a soft top layer, and a removable Peanut Pad under the heel.

How do I pick my size?

Women's 6–11, men's 5–10. Between sizes or wide feet? Size up. Size exchanges are always free.

What does the first week feel like?

You'll notice the arch support for the first few days. That's normal. Start with a few hours at a time; most people wear them for full days by the end of the week.

Can I wear them at work?

Many people do. pipiu has ventilation holes on top, and some hospitals don't allow open-top clogs in patient-care areas, so check your workplace policy.

What if they don't work for me?

Wear them for up to 30 days. If they don't make your days better, send them back, even worn. Return shipping is on us.
