Man has built a world of concrete
and steel that is incompatible with his anatomy. The natural terrain now
lies buried beneath this concrete jungle that our cities
have evolved into. Earth shoes mimic the action of walking
barefoot in the sand and on uneven terrain. The unique shape
of the shoe with its negative heel keeps the toes up and the
body leaning slightly backwards, the stomach pulled in, and
the spine straightened into proper alignment. This re-alignment
has now been scientifically proven to produce many health benefits
and cure many modern ailments, often caused by walking incorrectly !
Relief from back pain
Many back, neck and joint
problems stem from poor posture. The re-alignment of your body achieved
by wearing Earth shoes negative heel technology instantly alleviates
many of the aches and pains caused by standing incorrectly
and over a period of time, works to correct the causes of chronic
pain.
Improved muscle tone
Standing incorrectly results
in loss of muscle tone in your core inner muscles. Re-aligning your
posture allows your core muscles to work as nature intended and
over time they will strengthen. Back, tummy, buttock and leg
muscles will become firm and toned. As a rather unexpected
side effect, it was discovered from customer testimonials that
wearing Earth produced a sizeable reduction in cellulite
- but I guess you could live with that if pushed :-)
Healthy relaxed breathing
Anyone who has tried yoga will
understand the positive effects healthy breathing can have on your
health and wellbeing. Improving your posture allows the diaphragm
to relax and the rib cage move more freely. You will feel invigorated
and energised as your body benefits from deeper, healthier
breathing.

range of foot problems. The orthopoedically shaped, contoured foot
bed has been designed to correctly support your foot. The natural
