A foot exercise sandal (10) including a sole (12) having a first toe end (1.2A), a second heel end (12B) opposite the first toe end and a pair of opposing sides (12C, 12D) extending between the first toe end and second heel end; a primary resilient strap (14) having first and second ends with each of the first and second ends thereof attached to one of the opposing sides of the sole such that the primary resilient strap extends across a width of the sole; and a secondary strap (16) having first and second ends with each of the first and second ends thereof attached to one of the opposing sides of the sole such that the secondary strap extends across the width of the sole and is located to lie substantially over the primary resilient strap, the secondary strap forming a loop for securing a foot of a wearer to the sole. The primary resilient strap (14) in an inoperative condition, is pulled tightly across the width of the sole under its own resilience to lie substantially in contact with an upper surface of the sole such that in use with the wearers foot secured to the sole by the secondary strap, the primary resilient strap is positioned between the user's foot and the sole. In an operative condition, the primary resilient strap (14) is pulled away from the sole to compressively sandwich at least a portion of the wearers foot between the primary resilient strap and the sole such that in use, the wearer is capable of performing dorsifiexion exercises.
