The fashionable Heidi from the Suisse Collection has a soft EVA and gel pad cushioning with a propulsion element that induces forward motion. The firmer propulsion element cradles the heel and provides better balance by guiding the foot forward in a neutral position to keep the foot, ankle, knee and hips, in alignment. The control plate reduces forefoot pressures for an efficient transition into the next stride. Xelero shoes have been shown to help several common foot related issues including plantar, fasciitis, hallux rigid, ankle pain, knee pain and lower back pain due to misalignment issues.
