Founder Feedback: "So, Wait– You’re Making Sporty Sandals Now?"

Founder Feedback: "So, Wait– You’re Making Sporty Sandals Now?"

No. I’m not making sandals. I’m making slides. There’s a difference, especially these slides.

Long story short, I invented these unique foot-stretching fitness slides for one very important reason: so I could keep playing soccer forever.

Happy Feet. Happy Life.

Most folks are passionate about something. And no matter what that is or how old they are or whether it even really involves a whole lotta footwork, the ability to do that thing starts with a first step, literally.

That's our mission at pushpül: helping people get their feet fit, so they can keep pursuing their passions, including soccer or Zumba or playing with your kids. 

For me, I woke up one morning not too long ago with an acute case of plantar fasciitis. And I was determined to “cure” it — turns out, it’s not that simple. As my brother, an accomplished foot and ankle specialist, explained it to me: it’s a health and fitness issue brought on by overuse.

Prioritizing Foot Fitness

As I quickly learned, costly orthotics and generic OTC gel shoeliners and heel pads just weren’t doing it, at least not in any sustainable way. Worse still, a lot of so-called “recovery” footwear, including overly cushioned shoes and puffy sandals, do next to nothing to proactively address recurring foot pain.

In fact, regularly wearing soft, cradling footwear can reduce foot flexibility and strength.

That’s why I invented, designed, patented, and produced the Flex 3 Fitness Slides, engineered to provide soothing comfort while also actively stretching and strengthening your feet.

I encourage you to try a pair for a few weeks in conjunction with a safe and consistent health and fitness routine. Your feet will thank you!
