The Negative Heel Walking Shoes (Women's)

These walking shoes help relieve stresses placed on hip joints and the lower back--the results of bad posture--by encouraging proper body alignment using negative heels. The footbeds are negatively angled at 3.7º, placing the front half of the wearer's foot slightly above the heel, shifting your weight back over your heels, encouraging anatomically correct walking and standing positions that can lead to better posture. Better posture has been shown to lead to improved balance and optimized breathing. Your calf muscles are stretched and stimulated due to the increased foot contact with the ground, helping to increase blood circulation. The shock-absorbing memory gel footbeds displace and absorb shock, and the built-in arch supports promote natural walking motion. The shoes are built with soft, padded neoprene collars that are gentle on ankles; a pull tab enables easy slipping on and removal. With microfiber uppers and durable, EVA outsoles. The shoes use only water-based adhesives for a more environment-friendly product. Women's. Black and Bayleaf. Whole/half sizes 6-10, and 11. (6 lb.)
