active recovery footwear

Traditional "recovery" footwear relies on added

cushioning and a passive approach. Active recovery

footwear is based on firm stable support designed to

instigate the body's adaptive response after running,

help promote muscular benefits and reduce

proneness to injury.

1 DEEP HEEL CUP

The deep heel cup cradles the heel and keeps your natural cushioning right under your heel bone.

2 LONGITUDINAL ARCH SUPPORT

The longitudinal arch support runs along the sides of the footbed, providing stability with each step.

3 TRANSVERSE ARCH SUPPORT

The transverse arch support runs through the middle of the footbed, helping ensure proper alignment and a solid stance.

4 RAISED TOE BAR & ROOMY TOE BOX

The raised toe bar encourages the natural gripping motion of your feet, excersises the legs, and stimulates circulation. The roomy toe box allows toes to move, spread and stretch freely.
