Description

Upper: Flexible forefoot mesh that accommodates metatarsal sensitivity and bunions, backed by a structured heel cup to maintain proper rearfoot orientation.
Midsole Cushioning: Low-profile EVA foam bed providing basic shock absorption while keeping the foot in a natural, level position close to the ground.
Cushioning & Stability Technologies: Level, low-drop stance keeps the heel and forefoot evenly balanced, helping align posture and reduce joint strain during prolonged standing.
Outsole: Broad, full-contact rubber sole layout engineered to eliminate uneven weight distribution and localized pressure points.

Key Features & Benefits

Grounded Low-Profile Platform: Low sole stack supports natural barefoot-style posture and grounded biomechanics.
Pressure-Relieving Forefoot: Soft, flexible mesh upper flexes freely over sensitive joints without creating pressure hot spots.
Rearfoot Heel Alignment: Molded heel counter cradles the heel bone for extra stability when walking or standing.
Removable Insole: Factory sockliner can be easily removed to accommodate custom orthotic inserts or arch pads.

Sizing & Fit Advice

Fits True to Size (TTS). Due to the shallow low-profile interior volume, select half a size up if planning to insert thick custom medical orthotics.

How to Find Your Size (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Setup: Place a plain sheet of paper on a hard floor, flushed against a flat wall. 2. Position: Stand on the paper with your heel resting gently against the wall (wearing your preferred athletic socks). 3. Mark: Mark the furthest point of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil. 4. Measure: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in Centimeters (CM).
Recommended Fitting Margin:
Casual / Everyday Wear: Add +0.5 cm to your measured foot length.
Performance Running / Walking: Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm for comfortable movement and toe wiggle room.
