OK, this is a bit gory but it will help you understand why it’s healthy for you not to wear the same shoe everyday….Our feet sweat up to ½ cup everyday!   Sweat will dampen the inside of the shoes and they need 24 hours to dry otherwise the moisture will turn into bacteria/fungus, which is how shoe odour and toe nail conditions happen. Sweat also affects the inside of your shoes and they will deteriorate quicker.   Podiatrists recommend changing shoes daily for the above reason but also so that your feet can use different muscles and to prevent friction in the same spot everyday.   So for healthier feet and for shoes to last longer, aim to alternate between...

One of the highlights of our shoe design is our footbed. It’s the best way to support the contour of your feet.  It bears a lot of the shock from walking on hard surfaces. The heel cup, helps your back heel sit with support and the arch area of our footed is like having a supportive pillow holding it up.  We have also added some perforation at the ball of the foot area to allow an escape path for moisture and help keep your feet cooler.

Although we’ve added toe room and extra volume in the big toe area (also known as bunion area), sometimes certain feet may feel the extra pinch. We use a little handy trick to help soften the tender areas in shoes.   All you need is a hairdryer and a teaspoon.  Use your hairdryer on warm setting and target the problem area inside the shoe for about 30 seconds until it’s warm. This will make the area soft. Then grab the back of the teaspoon and gently smooth out the area for about 10 seconds. Try the shoes on and test if the smoothing has...
