The Peanut Pad
  • Removable. Lift it out by the edge to rinse it or let it dry.
  • Easy to reseat. Press it back into the heel cup, wider end toward the back, until it sits flush.
  • Shaped for the inner heel. It extends toward the inside of the heel, not just the center.
Your first week
  • Days 1–3: You'll notice the arch support. That's normal. Start with a few hours at a time.
  • Days 4–7: Most people stop noticing it and wear them for full days.
  • Still not right? Swap sizes for free, or send them back within 30 days.
Care

Rinse with mild soap and cool water. Take out the Peanut Pad and let both air dry. Keep away from dryers, hot cars and direct heat.

Shipping, returns & exchanges
  • Free U.S. shipping. Arrives in 5–7 days.

FOR PEOPLE WHO WORK ON THEIR FEET

Make it to hour twelve without counting the hours.

Nurses, teachers, servers, stylists. If your day is spent standing, the last few hours are the hardest. pipiu is built for that part of the day.

WHY YOUR FEET GIVE OUT

Soft feels good for two hours. Then it flattens.

When you stand, your heel takes more of your weight than any other part of your foot. So the first job of any shoe is to absorb the shock at the heel.

HEEL55%
First: absorb the shock at the heel

More than half the load lands on one small spot. Plain foam flattens there first. The Peanut Pad sits right under it to spread that pressure out.

MIDFOOT25%
Then: hold up the arches

Support only under the inner arch tips the foot. Triple-Arch Support covers inner, outer and transverse arches together.

FOREFOOT20%
And a footbed that keeps its shape

A firm shell below, a soft layer on top, so the support is still there late in the day.

Illustrative load distribution on the sole of the foot: heel 55 percent, midfoot 25 percent, forefoot 20 percent

THE PEANUT PAD DIFFERENCE

Take the load off your heels.

Long hours on your feet? Give your heels support where it counts.

pipiu’s Peanut Pad is designed to help distribute pressure beneath your heel, easing the load on one concentrated spot.

A distinctive shape. A specific purpose.

Most heel cushions are a simple oval. The Peanut Pad extends toward the inner side of the heel, where Dr. Kim wanted the cushioning to reach.

Removable, washable, unmistakable.

Lift it out to rinse. Press it back until it sits flush. You'll always know where it goes.

TRIPLE-ARCH SUPPORT

Three arches. Support for all three.

Your heels are only part of the picture. pipiu’s contoured footbed is designed to support your inner, outer and transverse arches, too.

  1. 01
    Inner arch

    Contoured support along the inside of your foot.

  2. 02
    Outer arch

    Support along the outside, so the foot doesn't tip.

  3. 03
    Transverse arch

    Support across the width of your foot, just behind the toes.

Heel support. Arch support. One footbed.

The Peanut Pad helps distribute heel pressure. Triple-Arch Support brings contoured support to all three arches. Together in a clog built for long days on your feet.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE PAD

A letter from Dr. Dongyeop Kim

To everyone who spends the day on their feet,

For more than thirty years, people have walked into my workshop in pain. Nurses after night shifts. Cooks, teachers, people who work the shop floor. Some had been standing for twelve hours. Some could barely stand at all.

One day, someone whose feet hurt asked me a simple question: “What shoes should I wear?” I looked at everything on the shelves, and I had nothing to recommend. Soft for an hour, then flat. Support in the wrong place, or no support at all.

That stayed with me. So I decided to make the shoe I couldn't find.

Into this clog I put everything thirty years of fitting feet has taught me. The Peanut Pad, shaped for the spot on the heel that takes the hardest hit. A footbed that supports all three arches. A firm base that keeps its shape when the day gets long.

Everyone who works on their feet, and everyone whose feet hurt, has the right to a comfortable pair of shoes.

Not as a luxury. As a starting point. I hope pipiu gives you that.

With care,

Dongyeop Kim, PhD

“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 the same as a soft foam clog?

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

Can I wear pipiu at work?

Many people wear them all day. pipiu has ventilation holes on top, and some hospitals don't allow open-top clogs in patient-care areas, so check your workplace footwear policy. Plenty of nurses keep a pair for breaks and the drive home.

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 first week.

How do I pick my size?

Use the size chart above. Women's 6–11 and men's 5–10. Between sizes or wide feet, size up. Size exchanges are free.

Can I mix colors and sizes in a bundle?

Yes. Each pair in a 2- or 3-pair offer gets its own color and size, so you can split a bundle with a partner or keep one pair at work.

What if they don't work for me?

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

How fast is shipping?

Free U.S. shipping. Orders arrive in about 5–7 days. You'll get a tracking link by email as soon as your order ships.

How do I clean them?

Rinse with mild soap and cool water. Take out the Peanut Pad and let both air dry. Keep away from dryers and direct heat.
