Born to Splay is a wellness-driven shoe boutique in Arizona, founded by licensed nail technicians Elizabeth and Maria Oloyede, who have spent over a decade helping clients care for their feet. After years of seeing the effects of tight shoes, narrow toe boxes, and poor support, they opened Born to Splay to bridge the gap between professional foot care and thoughtfully designed footwear.

Maria is a Certified Master Pedicurist (C.M.P.) through the North American School of Podiatry (N.A.S.P.) and a certified Medical Nail Technician (MNT). Together, Elizabeth and Maria believe you shouldn't have to choose between health and style or between comfort and strength. Every brand they carry respects the natural shape of the foot and is thoughtfully selected to encourage natural movement, balance, and alignment.

Our boutique offers a slow-paced, genuine approach to helping people find the right barefoot or minimalist shoes for their lifestyle. We guide and support each customer by understanding their goals, educating them on how to transition to barefoot footwear, strengthen their feet, and care for them properly.

For clients seeking podiatric care, functional podiatrist Dr. Emily sees patients at the Born to Splay location through appointments booked with Ethereal.

Born to Splay exists to help people build stronger, healthier feet through better footwear, education, and personalized guidance.
