WHIRLWIND 2

Completely updated and meticulously engineered, the Whirlwind 2 takes the rocker bottom walking experience to a whole new level. Achieving 20% lighter weight than its original, this re-imagined flagship style is built around a max cushioned EVA foam midsole, first-ever rubber traction bottom, and signature 25% contact curve, giving an effortless and smooth feel to all steps taken.

Wider, more stable lateral base? Yep. Roomier toe box? Check. Generously padded ankle and new extended heel "grab" collar? For you, of course.

All together, 10 performance and material enhancements deliver an elevated Whirlwind, earning this 2nd gen overhaul "the most comfortable rocker ride".

UPPER | full grain action leather or suede leather, 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.

MOLDED HEEL CUP INSOLE | 6mm EVA cushioned sock with rounded heel cup for improved fit and strike comfort. Removable.

RUBBER SOLEPLATE | slip-resistant, tapered bottom plate with targeted traction points.

WEIGHT | 13.5 oz., 20% lighter than Whirlwind 1

FOOT PAIN RELIEF | Due to it's 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 runner's 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. For additional flex space, we recommend the gray color style as it's detailed with mesh around the toe box and forepart area.

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.
