Balance-Activating Footwear

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

PigaONE Shoes Were Designed for Barefoot Activities

— June 1, 2017 — Fashion
PigaONE shoes are a unique combination of socks and footwear that were designed to enhance activities that are often done barefoot.

The shoes have several beneficial functions, including a free range of movement, an alignment that straightens posture, a non-skid sole, pressure point stimulation that improves balance, and compression that reduces excessive blood flow to the feet. The shoes are able to wick away moisture, are machine washable, and are safe for use in water. PigaONE can be used for a variety of physical activities including yoga, dancing, pilates, martial arts, barre, and surfing.

These balance-activating shoes comes in sizes for both women and men, and are offered in two colors – an all black, and a black and white.
Trend Themes
1. Balance-activating Footwear - Opportunity to develop new training and therapy footwear that improves balance and posture while reducing excessive blood flow to the feet.
2. Compression Footwear - Opportunity to develop compression socks and shoes that reduce excessive blood flow to the feet, improve circulation, and provide added comfort during physical activity.
3. Hybrid Footwear - Opportunity to create new footwear that combines the benefits of socks and shoes for specific physical activities and sports, such as yoga, pilates, and surfing.
Industry Implications
1. Athletic Footwear - The athletic footwear industry can benefit from creating new products like compression socks and shoes that improve performance and comfort during physical activity.
2. Physical Therapy - Physical therapy can benefit from incorporating new training and therapy footwear that improve balance, correct posture, and reduce blood flow to the feet to aid in recovery.
3. Yoga and Pilates - The yoga and pilates industry can benefit from creating hybrid footwear that combines the benefits of socks and shoes, providing better grip, balance, and posture during these physical activities.
