We’ve all been there. We’ve all gone to the store to find a comfortable pair of shoes, and when we first try them on they feel pretty good in the store. However, once we get them home and really start to wear them, suddenly they’re not as comfortable. They pinch certain parts of our feet or rub painfully against the heel. Wouldn’t you like to be able to purchase a shoe that actually stays comfortable, no matter how many times you wear it or for how long? Tsubo shoes are just such a brand of shoe, designed to relieve the stress from your feet instead of instilling it.
Literally translated, “tsubo” in Japanese means “pressure point” and that is essentially what these shoes do. Tsubo shoes are specifically designed to support certain parts of your feet, the pressure points, to bring you all day comfort no matter how much walking you do. Tsubo is a design-driven company that was founded in 1998 by Patrick McNulty and Nick O’Rourke who both wanted to bring powerful new concepts in comfortable shoes to people around the world.
There are several key elements to Tsubo shoes that make them so dynamic and so stress-relieving on your feet. The first are the climate control air channels that allow air to circulate around your foot. Gone are the days when your foot would feel hot and sweaty inside a shoe all day, with this innovative technology your foot is allowed to “breathe”. A double-density polyurethane footbed is designed to be firmer in the heel to give better support and softer at the ball of the foot, which gives cushioning support and comfort. Finally, on the soles of these shoes are rubber bubbles which are designed for shock absorption.
The Tsubo brand of shoes knows that style doesn’t have to be uncomfortable, and when the foot is stress-free, the rest of the body will follow suit. Tsubo shoes have become a world-wide brand, being sold in the USA as well as the UK, Canada and France, to name a few. What makes these shoes unique is not just the rubber bubbles on the soles of the shoe, but also the durability of the material and they way it flexes in all the right places. With street looks and timeless aesthetics, these shoes are functional, versatile and stylish.
