WHY STRIVE IS DIFFERENT

Your feet aren't 2-dimensional, so why wear footwear with a flat footbed?

Utilising our extensive knowledge and experience, all Strive footwear incorporates our podiatrist designed 'Biomechanical Footbed Technology', which re-designs a classic flat footbed to the natural 3-dimensional contours of your feet.

HOW THIS BENEFITS YOU

Comfort as nature intended - By this we mean comfort that is not artificially created with excessive cushioning. Instead, created through supporting your feet in the very position they are designed to be held in.

Helps improve posture and reduce harmful stresses - Mapping the unique contours of your feet, our orthotic footbed technology may help to improve posture and reduce harmful stresses placed upon your feet and body - a contributing factor associated with many common aches and pains:

Strive Footwear can help with:

  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Ball of foot pain
  • Heel pain
  • Knee pain
  • Lower back pain

Care Guide

To clean classic leathers, wipe gently with a damp cloth and leave to dry fully out of direct sunlight.

For nubuck and suede leathers, wipe entirely so there is an even damp surface.

We DO NOT recommend using any solvents.

Keep out of extreme temperatures.

Sizing/Wearing

Strive designs its sandals with a wide toe box to mimic the natural shape of a human foot, allowing your toes to spread out freely. This design improves balance, evenly distributes your weight, and prevents toe cramping and issues caused by narrow, fashionable footwear.

Here is exactly how the design benefits your foot health:

  • Natural Toe Splay: Unlike tapered sandal shapes that compress the forefoot, Strive's ergonomic design allows the toes to spread and flex naturally as you walk, supporting more natural movement and improved comfort.
  • Reduced Friction & Pressure: The spacious forefoot area helps minimise rubbing and overcrowding, reducing discomfort associated with pressure points, blisters, bunions, and calluses.
  • Biomechanical Support: The wide toe shape works alongside Strive's patented dual-density orthotic footbed — engineered to mirror the foot's natural pressure points — to promote alignment, stability, and a smoother walking motion.

All our sandals and slippers are generous in size.

WEARING GUIDE

The unique contours of our Biomechanical Footbed TechnologyTM work to support your feet in their natural position so it may feel 'different'.

We recommend wearing the footwear for one hour on the first day

WATER-REPELLENT MATERIAL

Ready for changeable days

The water-repellent material upper helps protect against light rain and everyday splashes while maintaining its clean, versatile finish. Kensington is water-repellent rather than fully waterproof and should not be worn in prolonged heavy rain or standing water.

ADJUSTABLE FIT

Laces to adjust. A side zip for ease.

Use the laces to fine-tune the fit, then rely on the side zip for quick and convenient access. A cushioned sole and durable rubber outsole make Kensington a practical choice for workdays, weekends and everyday walking.
