For quite awhile now I have been having problems with my feet. I know part of the problem is heel spurs and plantar fasciitis, and because of this finding a comfortable pair of shoes is a chore. Awhile back I was lucky enough to find a pair of sandals made by Therafit that were extremely comfortable, and allowed me to spend a lot longer on my feet than other shoes. You may have even read my review of the Therafit Tiffany sandals, and if not, you should check it out! Anyway, I love these sandals so much that you can only imagine how excited I was when Therafit offered to send me a pair of their athletic shoes for review!
The Story of Therafit
For those of you who are not familiar with the Therafit brand, these shoes were created by Dr. Lisa Masterson who designed them specifically for women and the busy, active lifestyle we lead. She understands how we are on our feet constantly, and the majority of that time is spent in uncomfortable shoes not meant for that lifestyle.
As a result this leads to pain in the feet, legs, hips and back. Dr. Masterson’s solution was to create what she called the 12 hour shoe for the 12 hour day; a shoe that was not only comfortable, but attractive enough to where women would want to wear it.
The Therafit shoe line was created; comfortable, attractive and stylish shoes that are accredited by the National Posture Institute, a leader in posture and body alignment programs and solutions.
My Review of Therafit Athletic Shoes
Trying to pick just one pair of athletic shoes from such a great selection was near impossible! After much debate, I finally decided on the Deborah Woman’s Sneaker in Black/Pink. These shoes are very lightweight, and are made of a breathable mesh and soft, synthetic materials. And not only do they look sharp with their black shell and pink and purple trim, but they feel great, too!
Like all Therafit shoes, these sneakers feature the unique and innovative Personal Comfort System (PCS) technology which allows you to adjust the level of cushioning in the heel area by removing one or more of three adapters from the midsole wedge. These specially designed adapters resemble pegs and are quite easy to remove: you just push from one side, grasp the end of the adapter on the other side and twist while pulling. Adding or removing the adapters allows for an increase or decrease in impact resistance.
These sneakers also have removable cushioned insoles with gel inserts as part of a 7 layer system that provides cushioning and support from the arch down to the heel. With every step you take, these layers help to distribute the shock from impact downward and outward instead of your foot absorbing it. This greatly reduces the amount of leg, hip and back pain people experience as a result of poorly constructed shoes.
As soon as the shoes arrived, I opened the box and put them on my feet! Already I could tell these shoes were going to be the epitome of comfort with their nicely padded tongue and collar. Once standing, I could feel a big difference in the way these shoes compared to other sneakers I own. Not only do they cushion the entire foot, but as I walk I can feel the large amount of support they provide.
After several weeks of wearing these shoes, I am incredibly happy to be able to comfortably walk and stand for much longer periods of time than I can when wearing other shoes. Plus, they look great! I also love that they have been treated with the Aegis Microbe Shield to help prevent mold and bacteria.
