About Reshod®

The Reshod® Walking Shoe

The Reshod® Difference

The midsole in a Reshod® Walking Shoe is comprised exclusively of angled foam components, as opposed to ones that are vertical or horizontal in nature. We believe that walking is a rolling motion and are committed to providing products that offer a smoother ride for walkers who stride heel-to-toe.

Our Patented Pushover® Technology

Reshod® Walking Shoes are designed for a heel-toe walking gait.  Running shoes are made for an activity which involves vertical motion.  Since walking is horizontal movement, we designed a shoe that minimizes vertical motion in lieu of forward motion.  Our “zero-drop” midsole allows a walker better heel contact for stability.  The unique wedge foam components support your foot as you roll forward and push off your toes.  We offer two styles: The Pushover® and the Coach Carmen® racewalk shoe.

How the Technology Works

Simple Mechanics

The midsole design is basically a fulcrum and a lever.  The white heel section is comprised of a relatively soft foam designed to cushion the wearer’s heel and to offer a low profile at heel impact. The foam section highlighted in yellow and directly beneath the white foam is very dense, offering lateral stability as the walker transitions from heel strike to mid stance. The black toe section is very resilient, offering cushioning for the metatarsal area of the foot as well as providing extra momentum as the walker toes off. The shoes do not bend in the toe area as many low profile shoes do. Instead, the flexibility is vertical in nature. Think of the center foam section as the gas pedal in your car: the harder you step on it, the more power you will experience.

Maximizing Comfort

The Pushover® comes in Black or Red colorways and are designed with the walker in mind. Take a look at the toe box area. We used a comfortable mesh and designed “windows” that allow extra room for your toes to spread out at the metatarsal area, as well as the tip of the shoes. The ankle collar is high to help avoid kicking pebbles and other debris inside the shoes when walking.  Although the shoes are not waterproof, they are water resistant.  The textile upper can be treated with over-the-counter water repellent sprays.

You gotta have sole

The Vibram outsole is made of durable 100% rubber, featuring a low-profile lug pattern that provides great traction without collecting gravel and bark chips between the grooves. The outsole wraps up onto the toe for added protection against unavoidable tripping hazards. This shoe can be resoled at a local shoe repair. You can patch the heel section or the entire outsole.

The Coach Carmen® Race Walk Shoe

How it works

The Coach Carmen® Race Walk Shoe has a four-part zero-drop midsole. (Colors do not match the final shoe.) Each piece is angled in nature. The white wedge piece above the gray section is soft foam for comfort as the heel impacts the ground. The gray heel section piece is the most firm and is designed to provide lateral stability at impact. The yellow center piece is a pivot part which is softer than the heel section. The black toe section is resilient, encouraging a spring in your step. The angles of the gradient parts are steeper than those in the casual/training model.

Smoother walking motion

The result is a quicker rollover for walkers on the move. Finally, the outsole is a newly released Vibram® LiteBase 100% rubber product that is both lightweight and durable. The lugs offer traction for the trail, track and road.
