A modern take on ancient wisdom
The foot is a complicated device, designed to work best when on natural and uneven surfaces, combined with poorly designed footwear, has created undue stress on our feet, knees, hips and back.
Go back in time
For thousands of years, Asians spent hours farming in rice paddies. They returned home to bamboo huts with bamboo floors and walkways. Walking on the uneven surfaces created a massage-like effect and roller action to the bottom of the feet, which helped to realign the entire body after a long day of bending over. As society evolved, even today, many Asians still walked on bamboo mats to relieve foot, leg and back issues.
Move forward
Learning from ancient Asian wisdom and adding modern German design and technology, the shoe for today is born. Chung Shi replaces the uneven bamboo mat with a patented sole, providing a massaging effect while walking or standing. This unique heel/toe design, combined with a center roll bar, supports the foot in a unique way that improves body alignment, stress reduction and reduces shock to the spine.
