Case-study to test the circulation system
Aim of the case-study:
To demonstrate the temperature differences between “passive” shoes with conventional soles and Enquist footwear using a quality diagnostic system.
Muscle mechanical comparative study
The scientific test proved, that:
- standing on one or two feet in Enquist footwear the activity of muscles is greater than in the normal shoes, especially in the musculature of the shank
- The special sole construction of Enquist does not change the dynamic structure of walking significantly, but it enables one to walk economically with less ground-reaction and joint load.

Comparative biomechanical study of joint movements
The scientific test proved, that
- If we walk in Enquist footwear the load on the ankle and on related joints (knee, hips, spinal) is smaller than in normal shoes

Comparative biomechanical study of ground reaction forces
The scientific test proved, that
- Enquist footwear does not upset the usual rhythm of walking, which means we do not have to acquire a new walking pattern in it.
- Walking in Enquist shoes is easier on the joints than walking in normal shoes
- Enquist footwear supports the take off phase of walking, which makes walking easier

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.
