Classic style or sporty elegance: two Gearhardt models from Forme Footwear, two ways of walking with the feelgood factor
06/09/2011
The fashionable all-rounder Gearhardt provides ultra-reliable support for men aiming for the top
Portland, Oregon/ Munich, 07 September 2011 – Men have no time to lose on their way to the top. Men with action-packed careers and lives need quality shoes that provide support. Gearhardt und Gearhardt Mid are two classic, stylish models by Forme Footwear that feature a carbon-fibre midsole and cushioned anatomical insole to promote energy-efficient, dynamic gait. With these two Gearhardt styles, men get to where they're going faster - and save energy for the important things in life!
Walking 2.0 with Forme Footwear
Human beings have been walking upright for 5 million years. Over millennia, evolution has honed their physical motion and perfectly aligned the human physique to this new posture … or so you might think. So why do countless people suffer from back pain and swollen feet after standing for long periods? Well, walking on asphalt and concrete weren't part of evolution's plan. Now Forme Footwear has stepped in to give evolution a hand. Our innovative FormeForward technology (pat. pending) minimises impact, supports forward motion and saves energy during walking. This is Walking 2.0, thanks to the sophisticated interaction of hard and soft elements: a carbon-fibre midsole is combined with an anatomically shaped dual-density PU insole. The carbon midsole smoothly translates vertical impact forces into horizontal forward motion, while the structure of the Pureforme insole - soft under the forefoot, firmer at the heel - delivers custom cushioning to the different foot zones, lowering the forefoot and distributing weight evenly throughout the entire foot. These two soles interact to encourage natural foot roll, promote healthier posture and reduce joint load. FormeForward – for smooth walking!
Gearhardt – a classic all-rounder
Gearhardt in high-quality leather is a true all-rounder, equally at home attracting approving glances at a business meeting and power-walking around the city. Fashionable yet subtle, casual and elegant - this all-rounder can only be the work of a true professional! US designer Kyle Pulli is a multiple winner of the prestigious red dot award.
Gearhardt in Brick is a celebration of upscale retro that highlights the side lacing especially effectively. Or perhaps an elegant classic model in Dark Grey, with white seaming and white sole? Models in Navy and Dark Brown, with laces in a lighter shade, add a sporty touch that skilfully enhances both tweed suits and sweaters. Whatever your choice, you're ready for kick-off with Gearhardt!
Extra support with Gearhardt Mid
Staying in step! With a medium-high shaft that provides extra ankle support, Gearhardt Mid is the ideal choice for extended window-shopping expeditions with a loved one. The elegant city shoe with casual touch is available in Dark Brown, Sand and Light Grey satin suede. Walking on air in style - what man could resist?
Availability
The models Gearhardt and Gearhardt Mid are available from selected specialist retailers from March 2012 at 169.95 € for Gearhardt and 179.95 € for Gearhardt Mid.
