Miami, FL and Woodstock, CT – In a recent fitness segment broadcasted nationally on CBS, Dr. Travis Stork of The Doctors sported a pair of ZEMgear Terra split-toe shoes with PORON® Performance Cushioning while highlighting the latest trends in fitness fashion and workout gear.
Drawn to the natural footwear trend, and specifically ZEMgear’s split-toe technology, The Doctors demonstrated how the design properly keeps feet in their ideal position and comfortably protected with PORON Cushioning.
The benefits of the impact-absorbing PORON Cushioning layering in ZEMgear’s SPRING 2013 collection uniquely combine ZEMs’ natural foot flexibility with comfort and protection.
“As a relatively young company, we were thrilled that ZEMgear caught the attention of The Doctors,” said Christina Bracken, ZEMgear Founder and President. “We hope that its viewers learned a bit more about the health and fitness benefits of natural foot technology and PORON Cushioning’s shock – absorbing characteristics.”
Founded in 2010, Miami-based ZEMgear creates Performance Protection for Bare Feet™, delivering minimal footwear with maximum protection for men, women and children. ZEM, (Zone of Endless Motion), allows feet to do what they were designed to do best in their natural, barefoot state – on land, in water, supremely active or serenely still. The brand is represented by a growing number of retailers in the US and is available in over 20 countries around the world including Canada, South-East Asia, Japan, Australia, and Europe.
PORON Performance Cushioning is a durable, open-cell foam that responds to your every step and maintains its performance, shape and fit throughout the life of the shoe. Engineered to provide ultimate shock-absorption from minimum thickness, PORON Technology helps alleviate shockwaves to your body without hampering your ability to maintain a natural motion.
