This study is to clarify whether the bulge pressure stimuli from the sole surface of health sandals influence the human standing balance. Thirteen young people aged 20 to 21 were selected as subjects and were asked to stand wearing regular slippers and health sandals with their eyes closed and open after which the center of pressure (COP) on the sole surface and the length of the line of path of the COP were measured and compared. Although the posture of the subjects was somewhat steadier when they were wearing health sandals compared to when they were wearing slippers, there was no significant difference. Moreover, when stronger stimulation was applied to the subjects' soles by having them stood on the sheet fixed with steel balls, the postural instability was increased because the pain in the sole was strongly increased. We therefore guess that the material and the convex shape of health sandals lead to the stabilization of posture
