No more other shoes—relief for my feet
Neck and
back pain?
The cause may lie in your feet!
Why a stable foundation is crucial for the entire body
Are you suffering from persistent neck or back pain, but your orthopedist can’t find an underlying physical cause? Then it’s time to look down. Dr. Manke explains why your feet could hold the key to a pain-free upper body.
Your feet are the foundation of your body
Imagine your body as a building. If the foundation is unstable, the entire structure begins to wobble. That’s exactly what happens when your feet are not properly supported:
- Chain reaction: Misalignments or instability in the feet are transmitted through the legs and pelvis up to the back and neck.
Everything is off track
An unstable stance throws your entire body alignment out of balance—upper-body pain is often just the symptom, not the cause.
"When the foundation is unstable, the entire building above it wobbles. Think about your feet!"
— Dr. Manke, orthopedic specialist
How to get your body back on track:
To relieve neck and back pain in the long term, Dr. Manke recommends a holistic approach:
- Targeted exercises: Strengthen your foot muscles to provide stability from the ground up.
- The right footwear: Wear shoes that give your feet the necessary room.
Consistent toe freedom: Only when your toes can move freely is the foundation truly resilient.

Experiences with neck and back pain
Real stories from customers who love our products
Slip them on and feel comfortable—my sensitive feet and hallux valgus feel like they’ve reached seventh heaven. I wear these shoes for everyday activities as well as sports and hiking. I’m already thinking about ordering a second pair in a different color.
I wear these shoes in dark blue. These shoes are fantastic. Super comfortable—you forget you’re wearing shoes. They fit like a second skin on your feet. Best shoes I’ve had in a long time. They are expensive, but worth every penny.
Unpacked, put on, and went for a walk—they fit like a glove. So comfortable! So elegant! So refined! So well made! I’m thrilled. No comparison to the many plastic barefoot shoes—these are worth every penny.
Mine have clocked over 1,000 km in the meantime. During my last 100 km march, my feet stayed dry even in heavy rain. Finally, a shoe that doesn’t give me foot pain on long-distance walks.
