The ShowerSandal is a sandal equipped with brushes that makes it easier for users to wash their feet while showering.

The product is designed to be used by all, and even people with special needs can keep their feet clean without help.

The jury's verdict:

AVIVO has solved a need for an extended user group. Regardless of whether one has a physical disability, is extra tall or has no special needs whatsoever, the ShowerSandal is a good alternative to having to bend down to wash your feet while showering. Brushes above and below the foot help clean the entire foot, including in-between the toes, under the arches, along heel sides and on the top of the foot.

Equipped with suction pads and friction pads underneath, the ShowerSandal stays firmly in place. No hands are needed to slip it on, since it can easily be pushed into place on the shower floor using your foot. The choice of materials means the sandal is long-lasting and it can be cleansed in a washing machine. The ShowerSandal is a useful and positive initiative for increased well-being for all user groups.
