The low profile feature of the shoe increases the amount of surface area that is in direct contact with the foot improving weight distribution and reducing pressure on individual metatarsal. The new width given to the Balance will also give the toes more room; reduce displacement of the big toe joint and the development of bunions. Significantly the insole shape conforms to the arch providing a higher level of support for the ankle joint and surrounding tendons. The wide toe provides a strong balancing platform which has an unlimited amount of performance benefits as well as enhanced support for the ankle.
