14The new Cardio Zip 2 sees a complete new upper and midsole/outsole design. The upper utilises a zip construction on the medial side in conjunction with a tradition lacing system for an easier entry and exit from the shoe. The upper has a super soft leather, with a bamboo lining and an internal heel protector. CUSTOMER PROFILE / WHO IS IT FOR?Ideal for the person who is looking for a smart, comfortable walking shoe that can be used at work or for leisure.A low profile shoe with a sleeker 'look' and sufficiently roomy upper, the Cardio Zip 2 has seen a revolutionary approach to the health walking category.This new addition has a more streamlined look and will not only cater to diabetic consumers, but also to non-diabetics wanting a very roomy and comfortable walking shoe.To make this shoe more streamlined, thick Velcro straps were replaced by a zip located on the inside of the shoe. Medial placement of the zip has two major advantages. Firstly, to maintain a traditional lacing system which improves the overall image of the shoe, and secondly, placing a zip on the medial side makes the zip much more accessible for someone who is overweight or obese.GEL-CARDIO ZIP 2WALKING (FITNESS)KEY FEATURESUpper.

CONSUMER PROFILE / WHO IS IT FOR?The latest version of the GEL-Odyssey uses true walking tooling and is built on a slightly oblique last to give a better fit for walking.The outsole and midsole work extremely well compared to normal 'comfort' shoes on the market that are generally inflexible and don't allow for natural motion through gait.The upper features water proof materials, but is not seam sealed - therefore we have given a 'water-resistant' rating which will still satisfy consumers who wish to keep dry on or off the beaten track.KEY FEATURESUpper.
