Berkemann Women's Aitana Sneaker, Schwarz, 8 UK

Comfort trainers for women from Berkemann now also made from MerinoKnit! With the "Aitana" model, Berkemann now follows the worldwide trend of trainers and feel-good models knitted from natural merino wool, for good reasons. All the natural product advantages of merino wool, already known from the textile and now functional textile sector, such as skin friendliness, breathability, heat retention, and at the same time thermoregulation capacity, now also benefit the feet when worn. Berkemann uses years of experience in knitting shafts with its ComfortKnit line and so the merino shafts are knitted directly into shape. This pleases the environment, because this creates less waste in the production process that would be thrown away and the feet that like the comfortable fit. Different knitting and binding types allow for selective flexibility or targeted grip within one shaft, so that the foot is gently guided in the shoe. Like many other models from Berkemann this sporty comfort trainer has interchangeable footbeds and is therefore particularly suitable for individual and orthopaedic insoles. Further comfort feature: the lacing placed wide front offers easy handling when putting on and taking off and adapts the shaft perfectly to the respective foot shape. The original 5-phase footbed with which all Berkemann models are equipped is based in its constructive features on the Berkemann original gymnastics sandal developed by foot orthopaedists in the 1950s for the prevention of foot misalignment. Developed over the decades and repeatedly adapted to the latest foot orthopaedic findings, the principles of action of the original 5-phase footbed have remained the same over time: the active support of the natural rolling process when walking and the passive support of the foot anatomy when standing. In addition, this footbed specially stimulates and trains the foot and calf muscles, activates the venous valve function, dampens the energy of the appearance, thus protecting the joints and thus has a positive effect on the entire musculoskeletal system. All comfortable shoe models from the Berkoflex line from Berkemann, as well as this, have practical interchangeable footbeds and are therefore particularly suitable for wearers of sports and individual insoles as well as for orthopaedic insoles. This Berkemann Comfort model features a high-quality dual density sole made of two components. The TPU used for the outsole ensures rubber-like elasticity and anti-slip properties as well as high tear and abrasion resistance. At the same time, the water-driven and thus environmentally friendly PU in the midsole has a cushioning effect by absorbing impact energy. Berkemann comfort shoes are designed and developed in Germany and are also made from European materials at Berkemann's own production facilities in Hungary.
