WHIRLWIND 2

Completely reimagined and meticulously engineered, the Whirlwind 2 elevates the rocker bottom walking experience to a whole new level. Now 20% lighter than its predecessor, this flagship style features a max–cushioned EVA responsive foam midsole, a first ever rubber traction bottom, and a signature 25% contact rocker curve-offering a smooth, supportive, and effortless stride with every step.

Wider, more stable lateral base? [Yep]. Roomier toe box for a more comfortable fit? [Check]. Generously padded ankle cushioning and newly designed extended heel "grab" collar for easier access? [For you, of course]. Helps those find relief for issues like plantar fasciitis or runners seeking recovery? [That’s what our brand faithful continue to tell us]. Same signature rocker heel-to-toe glide? [We may have even rocked it a little better than before].

With 10 key performance and material upgrades, the Whirlwind 2 delivers a truly elevated walking experience, earning this 2nd gen overhaul "the most comfortable rocker bottom ride" and stand-out choice for supporting foot health.

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. 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.
