Q: Are NAMU slides true to size? A: If you wear half sizes, we recommend sizing down. If you tend to have a wider foot, we suggest sizing up.
Q: How do I choose the right size? A: NAMU slides fit true to size with a generous toe box. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up to ensure your toes have room to splay naturally.
Q: Are NAMU slides unisex? A: Yes, NAMU slides are unisex and designed to accommodate a wide range of foot shapes. Be sure to check the specific sizing chart on each product page for guidance.
Q: Can I wear NAMU slides all day, or are they just for post-workout A: NAMU slides are optimized for the post-activity transition window (30-60 minutes), but many people wear them for longer periods or even as everyday footwear. The zero drop, wide toe box, and moderate cushioning make them suitable for extended wear—they're not single-use recovery tools.
Q: Can I wear these with socks? A: Absolutely. The wide toe box accommodates socks comfortably. However, you'll get maximum sensory benefit from direct foot-to-footbed contact.
Q: Can I wear NAMU slides for long periods? A: Absolutely. Our SEED design is engineered for all-day comfort, stimulating the important zones throughout your foot to enhance recovery whether you’re at home, on the field, or traveling.
Q: Will the textured footbed feel uncomfortable at first?A: Most people find the textured Recovery Seed®️ zones feel like a massage with every step. However, if your feet have been in heavily cushioned shoes for years, you might notice the stimulation more initially. This typically feels good rather than uncomfortable—similar to how a lacrosse ball feels when you roll your foot on it.
Q: Are these slides good for people with plantar fasciitis or other foot conditions? A: Many people with foot issues find that strengthening intrinsic foot muscles (which NAMU slides encourage) helps over time. However, acute injuries or specific medical conditions should be evaluated by a healthcare provider. NAMU slides are designed for active recovery, not orthopedic treatment.
Q: Are NAMU slides suitable for youth athletes and sports teams? A: Yes. NAMU slides are popular among youth sports teams, leagues, and training programs providing comfort and recovery for young athletes.
