Types of One-Time Molding Sandals:

1. EVA Foam Sandals – Made from ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), which molds to your foot shape over time with body heat and pressure.
   • Example: Crocs Classic Clogs (not sandals, but similar molding effect).
   • Example: Teva Original Universal Sandals (EVA footbed adapts over time).
2. Thermo-Moldable Orthopedic Sandals – Designed for medical or comfort use, these require heating (e.g., in an oven) to customize the fit.
   • Example: Finn Comfort Sandals (premium orthopedic molding).
   • Example: Aetrex Orthotic Sandals (arch support + customizable fit).
3. Memory Foam Sandals – Not truly “one-time molding,” but they conform to foot shape with wear.
   • Example: OOFOS Recovery Sandals (great for comfort).
   • Example: Adidas Adissage Slides (soft, foot-conforming foam).
4. DIY Moldable Sandals (Thermoplastic) – Some brands offer sandals that you heat (with hot water or a hairdryer) and then step into for a custom fit.
   • Example: Aline Step-In Sandals (boil-and-fit method).

Key Considerations:

• Purpose (casual wear, recovery, orthopedic support).
• Material (EVA, memory foam, thermoplastic).
• Arch Support (important for flat feet or plantar fasciitis).
