Changing from your golf shoes to your work shoes isn't always convenient. So why not have shoes that are perfect for your local 18-hole course, and for city wear? That's why Inesis and EssenSole teams created the Versatile.
The challenge here for EssenSole was to design a multi-purpose outsole that would guarantee lasting foot and body health.
The tread design was developed in collaboration with Oxylane Research to give the outsole more flex and grip. But the key innovation is inside the shoe. The EssenSole insole has a polyurethane insert to provide midfoot stability (at the arch of the foot), providing solid support, whatever the terrain.

Every day, they support us and carry us forward, keeping us balanced. But we hardly notice them, and barely know them.
Each foot has:
- 26 bones,
- 16 joints,
- 107 ligaments,
- 20 muscles.
They live, grow and learn all throughout your life. Starting off as just the end of your legs at birth, your feet soon become your contact with the ground. This is why walking barefoot as much as possible is important, for your balance and overall well being.
The average person takes 270 million steps throughout their life. That's 270 possibilities for micro-injuries if you're wearing the wrong footwear.
At Essensole, we believe our lasting health rests on our feet. And we really take it seriously!
Just like your personality, your feet are unique. They support your body, and live, breathe and move differently for each one of us.
There are, however, three foot types:
- Egyptian: the big toe is the longest of all the toes (63% of the world population),
- Morton's toe: second toe is the longest, forming a triangular aspect (31%),
- Peasant: the first three toes are the same length (6%).
Don't worry, because none of these foot types is better than the others. At EssenSole, we're developing soles using lasts that respect the different foot type features.
Because all feet deserver lasting health!
