We know the world of work has changed, gone are the days of a 9-5 week in the office.

We also continue to support our colleagues post-COVID with social distancing guidelines (where appropriate) and testing processes in place.

Company

We've been game-changers since we entered the scene in 2007. Back then it was generally accepted that a shoe could not look good and feel great, especially after hours of wearing. We responded with a sandal that combined style with world-class science - and we continue to dream, innovate, and defy conventions. Our mission is to raise the energy of the world and help you live life to the full by creating wellness products engineering to work with your body, so you move better and feel great.
