Creating The Ultimate Athletic Shoe Using Dorsi-Flexion

The Swiss are known for their incomparable contributions: decadent dark chocolate, treasured timepieces, undefeated down-hillers...and they're fast becoming famous for high-tech treads like Springboost, too. Dr. Joerg Fuchslocher and Behrouz Bayat were passionate entrepreneurs who strove to create the ultimate athletic shoe using dorsiflexion—a position where the heel is placed lower than the ball of the foot. This concept was researched and tested for over seven years by independent institutes and sport medicine labs in Switzerland, France and the U.S before being integrated into a technology platform for athletic footwear. After the research they launched Springboost in 2005. The brand now boasts a bevy of Springboost athletic footwear, all aimed at changing the way you walk (and changing your body for the better).

The benefits of DORSI Technology are proven and recognized to:

Activate more muscles when you exercise
Improve your posture
Strengthen your core muscles
Promote blood circulation through feet and legs
Increase your lower body flexibility and range of motion

All SpringBoost footwear comes with 2 or 3 pairs of interchangeable insoles – the U-Control Insole System - depending on the model. Each pair of insoles provides a different degree of dorsiflexion ranging from 0° to 5°.

Use the lower degrees of dorsiflexion (0° and 1°) to progressively adapt to this new body position and when you wear your SpringBoost footwear for extended periods. The higher degrees (2° to 5°) intensify the training effects; enhance muscle fiber recruitment, improve explosive power and energy efficiency.

NOTE: Most models are available in medium and wide widths!
