Why Exersteps, you ask?
Oh, there are many reasons why our rocker bottom shoes become the go-to choice for walking enthusiasts, runners, and those suffering from various foot ailments. But only one reason why they keep coming back.
It All Starts With The Curve.
Some call it a rolling experience. Others may describe it as a smooth glide. We just call it the foot's most comfortable way to enjoy a walk.
And Then How Each Step Feels.
From the roominess at the front to the targeted arch support, Exersteps requires a little time in the shoes to experience all the "feel good" benefits. But oh, your feet (and body) will be so happy you stepped into the rocker life.

FAQs
I have plantar fasciitis and my podiatrist says Exersteps can help provide relief. How?
Exersteps and its PodiaRocker bottom have shown to help some relieve the pain pressure that comes with the inflammation of the plantar fascia.
How? Well, the heel strike of our PodiaRocker bottom is designed to roll through your step versus the heel planting of a typical running or casual shoe which is more direct, allowing the impact to be better absorbed and deflected away from your tender heel or arch. Also the curved bottom design delivers targeted support under the arch as you transition through your step which can help comfort the condition.
It's always recommended you talk to your doctor or footcare specialist with regards to any treatments or recommendations.
I work in the healthcare field and stand on my feet for most of the day. Can Exersteps help provide better comfort for my time on the job?
It all depends on what you may be looking for in a comfort-type athletic shoe. If needing a deep cushion base to stand on? Yep, these Exersteps shoes will deliver big time.
But the real game changer, to us? The Exersteps PodiaRocker / 25 curved bottom.
The continuous curve promotes an "active" stand posture, which means, it's subtle rocking movement, even when you are stationary, will have a broad range of core muscles engaged which will distribute more of that standing weight across your body. This could reduce foot fatigue.
What foot ailments or conditions does Exersteps help to comfort or remedy?
Exersteps recommends anyone who has any foot discomfort, specific ailment, injury, or known family history to seek medical consultation before using Exersteps or any footwear product for their condition. Exersteps is not a medical registered device.
Exersteps, through its thousands of pairs sold, millions of steps taken, and independent customer testimonials, has shown to help a variety of common foot conditions such as:
- plantar fasciitis
- arthritic foot pain
- big toe arthritis
- diabetic foot issues
- fused ankle (limited mobility)
_ achilles tendinopathy
- gait complications
Will these feel different than a normal athletic shoe when I try them on for the first time?
If you are not accustomed to rocker bottom styled footwear, then, yes, these will undoubtedly feel different when standing and walking. And that's by design.
The continuous curve design means there is less surface in contact with the ground, unlike a traditional running or general athletic shoe. You will feel more support in the arch area through the step sequence as the weight load funnels more towards the middle of the shoe's bottom.
Although it may feel different at first, with just a little time to adjust, your walking gait, joints, and posture can all experience benefits. Different is good.
I'm a long distance runner and wonder if Exersteps is a good choice for my rest or recovery days?
Exersteps' PodiaRocker / 25 styles could be a good choice for those needed recovery or rest days when you still will be out doing some walking.
Think of it this way......the heel and ball areas of the foot are highly engaged in running shoes, especially if running a lot of miles in a week or training for a race. Impact is direct regardless of cushioning thickness offered in your running shoes.
The rocker design essentially inverses the weight load and takes more pressure off the plantar fascia and mobility joints, giving your feet and lower half a little breather before looking to lace up the running shoes again.
