Our mission

Hi, I’m Millie, the founder of Moffootwear. As a British-trained podiatrist, I spent years grappling with one frustrating question: What sandals can I wear if I need orthotics?

The answer? There weren’t any. I searched everywhere for stylish, minimalist leather sandals with proper arch support—and found nothing. So, I decided to create them myself.

My inspiration came from both personal experience and my mother’s struggles. She has fallen arches and bunions, and every summer, she faced the same problem—finding sandals that were both supportive and beautiful. Most options were clunky or just didn’t offer the right support.

I spent years perfecting custom orthotics for her trainers and casual shoes, but sandals were a constant challenge. Stick-on arch supports weren’t cutting it. I knew there had to be a better way.

My journey began in Singapore, where I worked as a musculoskeletal podiatrist, treating everything from ankle sprains to bunion pain. With year-round heat and humidity, sandals were a necessity—but proper support was always lacking.

Determined to change that, I took my first official business trip to Vietnam, the heart of Asia’s leather and footwear industry. I was on a mission: to find a manufacturer who could bring my vision to life—a sandal with a true orthotic footbed.

With years of experience designing orthotics—complete with arch support, metatarsal offloading, and plantar fascia accommodations—I finally had the perfect design. All I needed was the right sandal to match.

At the exhibition, I found the ideal manufacturing partner, and together, we brought Moffootwear to life—a sandal that’s as comfortable as it is beautiful.

Because no one should have to choose between style and support.
