The journey behind the world's first medically approved flat sole, neurophysiological orthotic footbed technology.
As a result of frustration at seeing patients and elite athletes regularly wearing conventional flat sole flip-flops contrary to health practitioner advice, three dedicated health practitioners came together with a shared vision. Combining decades of clinical expertise, practical experience, and a passion for improving foot health, they embarked on a mission to create something truly different.
Their goal was simple yet revolutionary: to design footwear that delivered the convenience and style people loved while providing the support and biomechanical benefits recommended by health professionals. This collaboration ultimately led to the invention of the world's first medically approved flat sole, neurophysiological orthotic footbed – equilibras™.
Extensive research protocols and real-world testing followed. Patients suffering from discomfort and elite athletes seeking performance improvements wore the initial flip-flop prototypes featuring the patented e-bed™ TECHNOLOGY. The outcomes were remarkable and consistent. Participants reported enhanced comfort, improved stability, better body awareness, and greater confidence during daily activities and athletic performance.
These encouraging results became the starting point of the equilibras™ journey. What began as an innovative healthcare concept soon evolved into a global footwear movement focused on helping people feel healthier, more balanced, and more comfortable with every step they take.
Today, this Australian-Swiss invention is proudly manufactured in India and continues to expand its international presence. Wearers across the world continue to share their experiences and praise the difference equilibras™ FOOTWEAR has made to their everyday lives.
From our original flat-soled flip-flops, equilibras™ has grown into a broader footwear philosophy. We continue to develop new styles and categories, all built upon the foundation of our patented e-bed™ TECHNOLOGY, ensuring that health, innovation, and comfort remain at the heart of everything we create.
