Hallux by Fidelio is an Austrian shoe manufacturer. Started in 1995 as a shoe wholesaler, the owners decided to change direction and began producing comfort sandals and slippers.

Hallux by Fidelio offers several unique features in their shoes which offer the wearer support and superior comfort. Most of their shoes offer Magic-Stretch panels. This unique idea offers support and cushioning for people who suffer from bunions. This panel offers extra cushioning and actually stretches to help support and relieve pressure on the bunion. Furthermore, the Magic Stretch panel works to hide the bunion making it less noticeable from the outside of the shoe.

Hallux by Fidelio shoes also offer light-weight polyurethane air-cushioned soles. The construction of the soles enable a dynamic rolling motion of the foot with each step taken. The air-cushioned soles also provide added stability along both sides of the shoe, providing support and aiding in proper foot placement with every step.
