Stylish Uppers: The First Impression
The journey of a walking shoe begins with the upper, and at Baliston, we start with style. We meticulously design our uppers to be both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Crafted from durable materials like castor bean yarn and organic cotton, they offer support, flexibility, and breathability while protecting your feet. Even on long walks, our shoes are crafted to ensure your feet stay comfortable. In addition, we incorporate breathable linings and ventilation to wick away moisture, reducing the risk of blisters and keeping your feet dry.
Ankle and Heel Support: Collars and Counter
Our Smart shoes have padded collars and heel counters to secure the feet in place and prevent both excessive lateral and vertical movement. As a result, this additional support helps maintain proper alignment, reducing the risk of injuries to your ankles and heels.
A Foundation of Support: The Insole
Baliston understands that the insole is critical to a comfortable walking experience. We have constructed our insoles with advanced cushioning and arch support, minimizing the impact on your joints and enhancing stability. Consequently, this ensures a balanced gait and helps reduce the risk of injuries. Baliston's insoles are where the magic happens. When your shoe cushioning reaches 60%, it is time to replace your current insoles. We employ advanced technology to analyze your unique gait and recommend a fitted comfort insole, tailored to your specific unique walking DNA. For Baliston+ members, these comfort insoles are part of your membership and are replaced with your next shoe order too! Our shoes adapt to your movements, promoting a healthier gait and reducing the risk of walking-related injuries.
Traction for Stability: The Outsole
Baliston's outsoles are constructed with the utmost care because they are the foundation of the shoe. Moreover, they are designed to provide comfort, stability and support using sugarcane EVA. Our natural anti-slip rubber inserts in the outsole grip the ground, reducing the risk of slips and falls while you're on the move.
Laces or No Laces; You Choose
Our shoes are designed to be worn with or without laces. For casual everyday wear with a unique style dimension, try them without laces. But, if you want to stride out and get some exercise, the included thick and high-quality laces will secure your foot.
Baliston smart shoes are more than just a fashion statement. They are a testament to our dedication to advancing digital health in footwear. Representing a harmonious fusion of style and technology, they are designed to enhance your health and promote a proper gait. Our commitment to constructing shoes that cater to your unique walking style makes Baliston the go-to brand for those who demand both style and functionality. Designed with an optimal blend of fashion and digital health, every shoe part contributes to a healthier and more comfortable walking experience. Embrace the future of footwear and step into the world of Baliston, where style meets digital health. It's time to walk with style and the assurance of a healthier stride.
