If you’re looking for java shoes, you’ll find four pairs to choose from at The Insole Store.
- 1. Spenco Siesta Vented Java Shoes – Men’s (retail $99.99)
These may look like Tom’s Shoes but they’re a lot better because you get orthotic support with them. What this means is that your feet are supported totally with arch supports and deep heel cup with cushioning that extends from the heel to the forefoot.
With this type of support, your feet won’t have an issue with over pronation, which happens when the naturally arched bones of the feet collapse in the case of flat feet. Without an adequate arch, there’s nothing holding the bones of the foot in position so the foot splays out and turns inward (over pronation).
However, this is prevented with the deep heel cup / arch support combination. Spenco Siesta Vented Java Shoes also have a stability cradle type of support that makes the deep heel cup and arch support combination one complete integrated piece. The EVA cushioning adds to the comfort of these java shoes and moulds to your feet as you wear them.
There’s also ball of the foot support with the metatarsal arch support for added comfort. And the venting that is added to them is for additional cooling of the feet, so hot weather won’t daunt you at all.
If you’re looking for java shoes that are quite fashionable but comfortable, these would be the ones to get, as they can be worn for casual wear or as dress shoes.
- Spenco Siesta Java Shoes (Retail $79.99)
What’s striking about these java shoes is that they cover the foot and the forefoot part of the shoe on the top – the ‘tongue’ that covers the metatarsals extends up a bit from the sides of the shoes for extra comfort, making it quite easy to slip on.
Spenco calls the Siesta Java Shoes ‘Total Support Cushioning Shoes’ and there are a lot of good reasons why they do this. Shoes that look similar to this one on the market don’t have any support in the insole part of the shoe. They’re flimsy at best and you might as well be walking in socks.
When your foot has a deep toe box, stability cradle (as in the Spenco Siesta Vented Java Shoes), metatarsal arch and longitudinal arch support, and EVA cushioning as well as the deep heel cup to prevent over pronation, you can’t ask for more support than this.
That’s why podiatrists who are members of the American Podiatric Medical Association recommend the Spenco Siesta Java Shoes. Some of the materials used in this shoe include 4-way stretch polyester, polyester webbing, EVA injection, TPR rubber, and SBR rubber foam. The cushioning is made from EVA closed cell material. These shoes are hand washable.
- Spenco Siesta Java Shoes Slides Men’s (retail $69.99)
With all the features of the Spenco Siesta Vented Java Shoes and the Spenco Siesta Java Shoes, these slides offer additional comfort if you’re looking for the open heel variety. They’re also accepted by the American Podiatric Medical Association; great java shoes for your wardrobe.
- OluKai Hokua Dark Java & Ray Men’s Sandal (retail $70.00)
