As an internist and health developer I think it is important to prevent diseases. Using Enquist enables one to prevent many diseases and to reduce complaints and avoiding the worsening of existing diseases.
Due to the unstable sole construction we walk actively which forces many of our muscles to increased work and traction. This, in addition to the positive effects on leg and vault, fixes the posture and helps not only in the prevention of spinal problems but also to bring about a physiological condition supporting an optimal position and circulation of inner organs. Meanwhile Enquist props the ankle and keeps it in the right position, the leg does not roll-in and there is no need to focus constantly on walking.
It has a beneficial effect on the circulation on the lower limbs, it supports the work of muscle pump evacuating veins and improves venous backflow. So the danger of having varicosis can be reduced, and the complaints of patients suffering from varicose veins improve. By improving the venous backflow the development of oedema, e.g. swollen legs will reduce. The improvement of circulation is very useful for vasoconstriction in inchoative stage. It is very important for diabetics that wearing Enquist may reduce the danger of vasoconstriction.
For pregnant women it is highly recommended to wear Enquist shoes, because it can prevent many diseases (varicosis, backache due to wrong posture, and pain in joints). Walking in Enquist the activity of the muscles of the fundus pelvis (perineum) increase which may have an important role in the prevention of stress-incontinency of middle-aged women.
Increased muscle activity during walking consumes more energy so it may help effective slimming.
Based on all these I think that the Enquist footwear is an efficient tool of prevention and healing for adults and children as well.

As a Rheumatologist and a Physiotherapist-Rehabilitation Specialist, I consider the prevention and in time treatment of flat feet, joint disorders and spine posture deformities, which count today as an endemic condition of the civilised world effecting 80-90% of the population, to be very important.
Through the use of Enquist footwear it is possible to establish the optimal joint positions in childhood, as the footwear provides support for the ankle joint. Their great advantage compared to other ankle supporting orthopaedic shoes, that due to the “unstable” sole structure of the Enquist footwear continuous muscle work is also maintained during standing and walking, which is one of the essential conditions for the optimal development of the locomotor system.
Partially based on material I have read through and also based on my own experiences I recommend the Enquist footwear as a preventive measure and in certain cases as therapeutic equipment for treatment.

The plantar arches/arches of the foot develop from childhood onwards; their structure can mostly be influenced until puberty. The use of shoes with inordinately hard or soft soles greatly overloads the joints of the foot without strengthening the muscle appropriately, which later leads to a dropping of the arches and the development of static problems.
Learning and fixing an incorrect walking pattern and the increasingly common childhood obesity considerably increases the loading of the foot joints resulting in deformation of the arches and joint pains as early as in childhood and in the teenage years.
It is exactly why at this age we have to place the greatest emphasis on prevention.
Through the use of Enquist footwear with their special sole, it is possible to correct the unbalanced structure of the body, to strengthen the musculature, to develop the correct walking pattern preventing later foot arch, knee, hips or spine complications. There is no need to wear an insert, the carefully selected shoe size prevents the foot from slipping and improves the blood and lymph circulation of the lower limbs.
Due to the flexible support provided for the ankle, the wearing of Enquist footwear does not require awareness, therefore they can be beneficial even for small children, and with careful consideration for hearing or visually impaired or special needs children.

Why Enquist?
Enquist is the newest generation of active “rolling sole” shoes; behind its development there are years of international Research and Development.
Biomechanical and shoe designer experts, physiotherapists and musculoskeletal specialists have participated in the developing process, thus Enquist became a product that testifies a multidisciplinary professional content which redefined the “rolling sole” shoe by realizing the Enquist Selfness Technology.
Enquist offers a simple possibility for us to enforce our basic human rights relating to physical and mental health: simply walk in the shoes, enjoying our steps, discovering the pleasure of walking and letting the musculoskeletal peace and physical mental harmony evolve in us with our rolling steps.
Just Walk!
This is the most important message of Enquist-selfness.
Enquist Selfness Technology
- Eases the formation of natural and correct walking pattern in childhood
- Leads us to the techniques of healthy and enjoyable walking in adult age
- Can eliminate or greatly relieve various musculoskeletal disorders
- Gentle on the joints
- Reduces the pressure of weight on the ankle and the sole
- Leads the ankle joint and the other joints linked to the ankle in the optimal direction
- Steadily activates the musculature
- Stimulates the nervous system to improve the feeling in general
- Its usage does not require awareness, walking in Enquist is as natural as walking barefoot on the beach
- Walking on the light-arched feet is not only a natural but also a playfully easy-going recreation
The everyday wear
When we put on an Enquist shoe, the world changes for us after a few steps, as if we discovered a new dimension; walking turns into pleasure, and experience and recreational activity immediately. While we manage our ordinary business and run from place to place we realize that walking that was bothersome and problematic before, now refreshes us, when in fact nothing we only did the same exact 50 or 5000 steps we did before Enquist.
We discover the pleasure of walking and the freedom we can get to during weekdays while we are doing our tasks.
Wearing Enquist footwear has much more in store for us than the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders: as the result of a development started in 2005, an active shoe was able to be created, everyday usage of which does not require one to ‘relearn’ walking, but on the contrary, it gives back to its wearer the natural pleasure of the steps and walking.
