The Posture Improving Shoes (Women's)

These shoes improve your posture by employing dorsiflexion. A technique long used by trainers for rehabilitation and used increasingly by professional athletes to improve performance, dorsiflexion decreases the angle between the lower leg and foot, which stretches and stimulates the calf muscles. These shoes employ the same concept by placing the front half of the wearer's foot slightly above the heel using an angled, shock-absorbing EVA midsole that relieves forward tilt--the signature sign of bad posture. The shoes place the pelvic bone in a favorable position to alleviate pressure on the lower back, correctly alinging your ankle, knee, hip, and shoulder joints--with the included benefits of increased blood circulation and greater ankle stability. The amount of dorsiflexion may be adjusted using one of three included insoles that place your foot in a 1%, 3% or 5% angled position. Insoles have built-in arch supports and moisture-wicking perforations. A thermoplastic polyurethane plate beneath the midsoles increases and facilitates the roll of the foot, resulting in a greater range of motion when walking or jogging. With breathable mesh uppers and durable, EVA outsoles. Women's whole/half sizes 7-8 1/2, 9 1/2.
