Our feet are an exceptionally sensitive gateway for the whole body and its posture. Together with our eyes and inner ear, our feet are the key players in proprioception.
The best shoes at any stage of life are those that avoid altering the way feet function naturally. Ideally, going barefoot would be the best thing to maintain a long lasting healthy body.
But we mainly need shoes in order to protect our feet from external influences and traumas, such as bad weather, cold and impact.
Shoes can also help to reduce the damaging consequences of micro traumas (joint, muscle and tendon related) suffered during sporting activity.
This is why EssenSole shoes are specially designed / developed to suit each different sport and respect both the mobility and the mechanics of the foot.
