• What is a double depth shoe?

• What is a polyurethane outsole?

  Polyurethanes are found in a wide range of footwear types. Although best known for sports and trekking shoes and boots, they are also extensively used for business and fashion shoe soles, as well as high-quality safety shoes. Low-density to compact polyurethane systems are utilized for mid-soles and outer soles.

• What is an EVA outsole?

  EVA (Technically named Ethylene Vinyl Acetate). EVA is one of the best shock absorption materials available today. This is why all the major top-line brand manufacturers use this material, due to the great combination of shock absorption with the light weight of the sole. Generally, an EVA outsole makes the shoe lighter in weight.

• What is a rubber outsole?

  A rubber outsole means the bottom of a boot or shoe is made of rubber. Generally, a rubber outsole provides slip-resistance benefits when in contact with oil and other slippery surfaces. Please see individual shoe styles for slip-resistance specifications.

• What is a firm heel counter?

  The heel counter is located in the back portion of a shoe and is typically a small plastic insert used to reinforce the heel cup and increase support.

• What is a heel stabilizer?

  The shoe heel stabilizer can be made of rubber, plastic or leather. The stabilizer is bonded to the upper (top material of shoe) and midsole (in between the bottom and top of shoe). A heel stabilizer helps with motion control as you walk in the shoe. This shoe feature is beneficial for those with pronating or need more stability in the shoe.  

• What is a midsole?

  A layer of material between the upper of the shoe and the outsole. Generally the midsole helps with shock absorption in each step.

• What is a shank in a shoe?

  A shank is a supportive structure between the insole and outsole of a shoe. Shanks can be made of steel or fiberglass. The shank in the shoe gives the shoe stability and prolongs the life of the shoe.

• What is a heel cushion?

  A heel cushion is a pad in the heel of an insert/insole that helps absorb shock as you walk. A padded heel cushion can help with foot conditions like plantar fasciitis or heel spurs.

• What is a rocker bottom shoe?

  A rocker bottom shoe is a shoe that helps with forward motion while walking. A rocker bottom can have a toe rocker (curved outsole at toe area) or full rocker bottom (curved outsole at the toe and heel).

  The design of a rocker bottom alters the biomechanics of the gait and puts less pressure on the ball of the foot. Those with limited mobility in their ankle and feet can benefit from a rocker bottom shoe.

  A rocker bottom shoe can assist with improving the gait cycle with the gentle rocker and forward propulsion in each step.

• What is a medial heel stabilizer?

  A medial heel stabilizer provides rear foot walking stability and minimizes slippage.

• What are the benefit of copper in socks?

  Copper socks have natural anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties to help improve your foot health during wear.

• What shoes would you suggest for rolling ankle?

  A shoe that has stability or motion control outsole and a heel stabilizer. The motion control and stabilizer will help keep your feet correctly position when walking. Also, the shoe should have some support at the arch to help reduce pressure on the plantar fascia ligaments and improve overall lower body biomechanics.

• I am a woman interested in a men's shoe, what shoe size should I order?

  Depending on the brand, you should order 1.5 to 2 sizes smaller than the women's shoe size that you wear. The width should be a full width size down. For example, if you wear a women's 10 XW, you would order a men's 8.5 or 9 Wide.
