Running Shoes with toefreedom®

toefreedom®

Laufschuhe mit Zehen- freiheit

We honor the incredible architecture Mother Nature has given us, so that you can push further than reason, fueling a lifetime of momentum. For those who have always put running before reason.

"Modern running shoes cause problems they claim to solve!"

(Lee Saxby)

What is toefreedom®?


Most running shoes are designed with a ‘no freedom’ toe box which forces the great and lesser toes inwards creating a “shoe-shaped” foot with weak toes and immobile joints. The weak muscles and immobile joints of the great toe are particularly problematic for runners as the great toe is not only the body’s natural pronationcontrol device but is also responsible for up to 10% of the propulsive power produced during‘push-off’.


A running shoe designed with ‘toefreedom®’ allows the toes to spread and interact with the ground as you run, developing the strength and flexibility of all the toes and and the important stabilising and propulsive action of the great toe.

The direct effect of toefreedom® when running


The architecture and alignment of the big toe provide the necessary structural stability during propulsion. The three largest intrinsic foot muscles attach to the big toe and provide the active stability required during propulsion. The “windlass effect” of the plantar fascia occurs mainly on the big toe and provides the passive stability required during propulsion. Since the big toe is the last part of the foot that leaves the ground during the propulsive phase, it is one of the most important parts of your foot. We'll make sure your big toe is strong and flexible so that it can generate more energy and thereby make the movement more explosive.

Do your running shoes cause the ´runners hallux´ syndrome? 


With our simple test you can find out how the structure and mobility of your big toe is. This is important for you because your big toe is responsible for 85% of the stability in your foot.
