How the Aetrex Istep works

Increasingly Aetrex is becoming one of our hottest sellers. They look great and can be customised to your feet.

Here’s how the technology works -its pretty amazing.

Aetrex training day

So…everyone knows by now, we are a knowledge based shoe shop. Last Friday, Sally, Carolyn and myself spent the day learning about some of the amazing new technology and styles coming out of American and specifically Aetrex.

Here’s Sally with the Aetrex guys and (importantly) here’s Carolyn and Sally enjoying lunch.

Aetrex are the guys responsible for the Istep machine
Aetrex’s iStep is a revolutionary digital foot analysis device designed for people who want to feel great on their feet.  In less than 30 seconds the iStep will capture your foot type, pressure points and shoe size and then help recommend the ideal footwear and orthotics for your individual needs.

Do we have any shoes that can take orthodics?

You bet. This is one of the most common questions we get asked and the answer is a resounding yes.

And the good news is they don’t look like they belong to look like someone’s Nana either. The entire range of flat Naots have removable sole units, as do the Aetrex and Keen. And that’s just for starters. Our very beautiful El Naturalistas also have soles that can be removed (even if you don’t need orthodics that can be great for keeping them clean and odor free).

Our shoes are chosen because they are designed to help support feet and bodies the way they need to be supported.

New Aetrex range in

iPhotoAetrex’s slogan is live life your way, everyday. Here’s some photos – we think they are going to really go (actually we hope they do because we have so much stock at the moment, the Aetrex boxes are filed in the office.)iPhoto-2

These guys have some seriously impressive technology built into them – feel free to check it all out at their website

If you’re not so into technology, here’s a few reasons why these shoes are good for your feet, and by, extension your body. In particular they are perfect for anyone spending a lot of time on their feet. They are also suitable for travellers planning an extended trip because you can walk in them all day and they still look good enough to go out at night. Continued…

New Aetrex machine was installed on Friday – why is this really, really good?

It’s really, really good because these guys are getting serious about what we’ve been serious about since we started. Great shoes that are made well and are designed to fit your feet and your body.

Aetrex were founded in 1946. It is a family-owned corporation that have long been recognized as the global leader in pedorthic footwear and foot orthotics. According to people who know such things, they are now starting to create a buzz with “fashion-forward sports and comfort footwear.”
