WHY RECOVERY IS IMPORTANT FOR ENDURANCE ATHLETES?

Your body experiences minor muscle and tissue damage with each workout. It is during post-workout recovery when your body replenishes and repairs itself, that you make performance improvements. Proper cushioning, support and alignment of your feet (and body) provides relief to your stressed musculoskeletal system, and aids in recovery. IRONMAN^® PERFORMANCE ORTHOTIC SANDALS deliver these benefits ensuring that you get the most out of your training and recovery.

In order to be a stronger runner, swimmer, or biker you must train harder. Recovery is critical. IRONMAN^® PERFORMANCE RECOVERY SANDALS provide proper cushioning, support and alignment of your feet (and body) providing relief to your stressed musculoskeletal system, and aiding in recovery after intense training.

Plantar Fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia is placed under excessive stress and strain causing inflammation of the tissue and pain. The two most common sites of pain are on the inside of the arch and on the inside of the sole of the heel. IRONMAN^® PERFORMANCE RECOVERY SANDALS help you reduce the risk of getting plantar fasciitis and alleviate the discomfort if you already have it.

Each of these biomechanical attributes have been carefully designed and engineered to provide "Full-Contact Comfort^™" to the widest possible cross-section of foot types and shapes.

FLEXALIGN^™ material can be formulated to provide shock absorbtion/cushioning, energy return and is a durable material. FLEXALIGN^™material provides both cushioning and energy return by formulation, design, and density. Overall it provides an excellent light weight material for sandal applications.

360° HEEL CUP^™ provides impact protection upon heel strike. Aligns the medial and lateral sides of the heel to properly align the heel, helping to prevent heel eversion and/or inversion. It cushions and supports where the plantar fascia attaches to the heel bone to help with plantar fasciitis.
