At Lamey Wellehan, we stock many different types of shoes; some of them are very unique.? One such shoe is the Sunrise Qi walking shoe, one of my personal favorites.? While the shoe was designed with medical distribution in mind, it has turned out to a great addition to the Lamey Wellehan mix.
The Sunrise walking shoe was created by a pedorthist in northern California in conjunction with leading podiatrists.? A major medical center in that area was looking for a shoe that would help reduce the rates of diabetic complications. ?The shoes were designed with special features and were constructed in various widths for both men and women.? Primary distributions of the styles were through medical facilities and only a small group of retailers have been allowed to be distributors.? Lamey Wellehan is the only family shoe store north of Connecticut to stock the brand.
There are five big features that form the DNA of the Sunrise walking shoe.? First is the addition of a silicone-based ?crash pad? under the heel area to absorb and disperse impact shock.? Second, the shoe is designed with incredible volume, which is further increased when any of the multiple inserts are removed.? This volume makes the style perfect for those who wear thick orthotics or braces.? Feature three is a forefoot shank, which is a rigid unit embedded in the front of the sole that increases energy return upon toe-off, reducing foot fatigue.?? Feature four is a rocker sole design that provides a natural roll from heel to toe which reduces flexion of the foot.? Finally, the Sunrise shoe is designed with balanced stability in mind, offering as much lateral stability as medial stability.? This is something not always found in walking shoes and is great for people who have a more bow-legged walk or those who need extra support.
Who might benefit from the Sunrise shoe?
- ?Those with forefoot problems like metatarsalgia or arthritis
- ?At-risk diabetics who need to reduce foot pressures
- ?Anyone who wants comfortable walking!
I?ll be the first to admit this may not be the perfect shoe for everyone though.? It has a boxy design, offering lots of internal space around the foot for wide feet or inserts.? The result is a broad-based, bulky design that is even more apparent against today?s fashion trend toward lightweight, low-silhouette footwear.? I?ve also found the shoe to be fairly warm in the summer, due to its all-leather design and the soft layer of padding found internally above the forefoot.? Finally, the Sunrise walker won?t be found on the fashion runways anytime soon ? it has a very utilitarian style to say the least.
However, most people are amazed at how comfortable it is.? It comes in a men?s version and a woman?s version and can be found in medium, wide and extra-wide widths.? For more details, just stop into your closest Lamey Wellehan location or shop online.
