BRISA 2

The next generation of our popular Brisa features a more modern, airy design befitting of this signature rocker bottom style. Accentuated by its wide-vent mesh panels and thoughtful minimalist piecing, Brisa 2 ultimately builds on it's multi-tiered comfort legacy for that first step and well beyond.

Careful to retain the original Brisa's hallmark roll form, this new and vaulted rocker bottom iteration is built around a max cushioned EVA foam midsole, a first-ever rubber traction bottom, and our signature 25% contact curve. This delivers an effortless, smooth, and confident feel through the full walking cycle.

Compared to the original Brisa, Brisa 2 features a wider, more stable lateral base, improved interior comfort details, such as plush collar padding and a blind-edged foam cupped sock. Flex laces allow for easier on/off access and improved static fit, while the shoe's upper is 30% more breathable.

Could this be our most comfortable rocker bottom ride ever? You tell us.

UPPER | full grain action leather and wide-vent cushioned engineered mesh. Breathable mesh tongue.

INNER | generously padded collar area with extended heel "grab". Soft, smooth "feel good" fabric lining the full interior.

PODIAROCKER 25 | original rocker bottom now built with broader foot shape, enhanced lateral stability, and targeted rubber soleplate traction. 25% contact surface curve.

MIDSOLE | lightweight EVA body with internal midfoot TPU arch bridge propelling forward motion.

FLEX LACING | flat, washable ribbed cotton laces providing 20% Spenco elasticity for easier on/off capability.

FOOT PAIN RELIEF | Due to its unique curved midfoot emphasis and fluid rolling feature, Exersteps' PodiaRocker 25 bottom has found to provide relief for many common foot ailments including plantar fasciitis, arthritic foot pain, fused ankles, and other arch discomforts.

RUN RECOVERY | For runners' rest days, the Whirlwind 2 displaces a broader range of weight and increases impact absorption for when the feet and joints need a break or when a recovery walk is in order.

STANDING COMFORT | For those in healthcare, retail, or other occupations or activities which require extended hours of standing, the PodiaRocker 25 max cushioned bottom and rocker feature helps routinely activate a broader range of muscles which makes standing less sedentary and possibly less fatiguing.

CORE ACTIVATION | With intentionally less shoe-to-surface contact, the body naturally engages additional muscles beyond the foot framework, including the core and postural areas, to immobilize the heel-to-toe function and help improve balance.

SIZING | Fits true to size. If you have a wider foot, we recommend sizing up 1/2 size.

WIDTH | Medium.

WEAR | Laces provide 20% stretch. Closely tie the shoe upper for a firm fit or loosely tie to provide additional flexibility in your steps or entry. Heavily padded heel "grab" allows for easier entry into the shoe while also cupping the back of your foot for increased stability.

ALTERNATIVE | Sizes 9.5 and 10.5 can also be accommodated in the men's Whirlwind 2 if looking for other style options or another rocker solution if this Brisa 2 size is sold out.
