FEELMAX shoes

Barefooting from Finland!

Feelmax ‘Barefoot’ Shoes from the lovely Pulkka family in Finland, have finally arrived at Ten-Point.  We have worn, stocked and loved Feelmax Toe Socks for several years, and lots of you have converted over to the positive effects of the Feelmax seamless toe socks, over conventional socks.  Now you can improve the world your feet live in by giving them the total freedom Feelmax shoes offer.

It’s taken several years of research and development for the all-important Feelmax sole to be the safe and durable product needed, without losing the all-important ‘Feelmax’ barefoot effect.  To achieve this, Feelmax collaborated with the massive tyre manufacturer ‘Continental’, and between them, they have produced a wonderfully thin, rollable Feelmax sole that is waterproof, an unbelievable light 100gms, and Kevlar-reinforced.

In Feelmax shoes your feet are protected from puncture, without interfering with their need to ‘feel’ the surface they are touching.  So we have Feelmax ‘armour-plating’ with the all-important barefoot ‘sense’.

Feelmax shoes protect your feet, but neither support nor cushion them.  Don’t worry - THIS IS GOOD!  This is how feet were meant to be.  You only have to go barefoot on a beach or a grassy field to be sold on the idea of barefoot comfort.  Your feet are amazing structures, designed for strength, flexibility and, with so many hundreds of thousands of sensory nerve endings, FEEDBACK.  Let your feet speak … and listen to them!!

The Feelmax shoe uppers are made from soft and flexible materials.  This way, they can fit as close as a sock, be rolled up in a pocket and feel like slippers.

Use your Feelmax shoes for …. nearly everything!  

Feelmax shoes are great in the gym, for both machine work as well as Pilates and Yoga classwork.  

Indoor use of Feelmax footwear is therapeutic for those with sore, painful feet/inflamed joints that make wearing shoes a trial.  Their use inside offers feet the possibility of strengthening and relaxing in a controlled environment.

Outdoors – ah, well, it’s a lot of fun!  Feeling the ground is life-enhancing.  Trying is believing!  ‘Barefooting’ using Feelmax shoes can improve balance and co-ordination, will strengthen the deep intrinsic muscles and tendons of the arches of the feet and most certainly improves both walking and running habits.  It’s very hard to run badly without all that ‘cotton wool’ muffling (otherwise known as traditional running shoes!).  You will instinctively change your running technique in Feelmax shoes, swiftly moving towards a more natural light-footed, high cadence, mid-foot/fore-foot touch-down.  ‘Heel-striking and toe-ing off’ … prevalent terms in (sadly) current running magazines, simply can’t happen in nature for long – it hurts!!

Water-sport lovers wearing Feelmax shoes will be protected from sharp rocks, corals and sea urchins.  Feelmax shoes are so slim, they can be worn inside flippers when diving.

Coupling Feelmax shoes and Feelmax toe socks gives your feet a little more insulation for the winter season, with the gentle separation of the toes increasing the benefits of ‘barefooting’.

Feelmax shoes can be your feet’s introduction to freedom, comfort, strength, flexibility and well-being.  Give your feet time to adapt to what is ultimately natural, but won’t initially be habitual.  If you’d like to try barefoot running, walk and live in the Feelmax shoes for several weeks first, to allow your feet to relax into feeling more, and gently stretch.  The strength will come.
