Timberland PRO’s New Renova Series Shoes

Timberland’s New Renova™ Series Shoes are designed for caregivers, professionals and providers in the healthcare industry. The Renova™ women’s shoes are a great new line of nursing shoes with innovative comfort technologies and safety features.
Three different styles are available for your comfort and fashion sense.
• The Professional Series shoes are a closed-back slip-on shoe. These shoes are made of a premium, full-grain leather and microsuede upper linings.
• The Provider Series shoes are an athletic lace-up style shoe. These shoes are made of a durable water resistant material for easy cleaning.
• The Caregiver Series shoes are a sling-back slip-on shoe. These shoes, depending on color, are made of a smooth finish or a nubuck finish.
“All-day comfort: because fatigue is NOT an option.” This is Timberland’s inspiration for the new Renova™ series shoes.
The Renova™ shoes have a unique anti-fatique technology for support, a specific anatomical shaping for comfort and a heel-to-toe rocker profile for flexibility.
The innovative anti-fatigue insole provides excellent shock absorption, leg and back support and all-day standing comfort. The insoles are made with a molded,inverted cone pattern that collapse and return in key pressure zones as you stand and walk. These insoles are also part of what makes these work shoes lightweight, a great quality for healthcare professionals.
The Renova™ shoes have a specific shaping to maximize the comfort of work shoes. The Caregiver and Professional line shoes are constructed on an oblique last. The wide shape of the toe-box allows the forefoot to spread in a natural position. This reduces fatigue and increases comfort. The Provider line shoes are constructed of an athletic last which features a contoured arch for maximum support and comfort.
The heel-to-toe rocker profile of the Renova™ Series shoe reduces the impact stress, stabilizes the foot and enables a neutral gait. Flexibility is built into the shoe, so the forefoot doesn’t have to flex or work. This results in less strain and less fatigue.
Also, Professional and Provider series shoes are designed with a SafeGrip™ slip-resistant outsole that grips in wet and dry conditions, enabling professionals to move quickly and confidently. The thermal plastic urethane outsole has a low profile for high surface contact in wet and dry conditions. The coefficient of friction rating for the Renova™ shoes, in oily/wet conditions, is greater 0.40 - the industry wide recommendation for slip resistance. The soles of the Caregiver series shoes are also slip resistant and made of a molded polyurethane that provides safety, comfort and durability.
The Renova™ Series healthcare shoes are backed by The Timberland Company’s reputation for quality, craftsmanship and innovation. Timberland is so sure that these shoes will be comfortable that the Renova™ shoes come with a 30 day comfort guarantee. If within 30 days you don’t find that the Renova™ shoes are more comfortable than other brands you have worn, Timberland will refund the purchase price of the shoes.
The Timberland Pro Renova™ Series shoes are now available at MichiganShoe.com.

New Skechers Slip Resistant Shape Ups Work Shoe

Have you heard of the Skechers Shape Ups®, seen them around town, seen them on the web?

Have you tried on a pair yet?

I have. Watch out for that first step…it’s a doozy. These Skechers Shape Ups® are unlike any footwear I’ve tried. Walking in them feels like your sinking into the sand at the beach.

I’ve read all about them. What Skechers says about them is true. They make me walk with better posture. They tone my leg muscles in ways that walking normally does not. They seem to reduce the impact on my joints (my knees aren’t in the best of shape due to lots of jogging in the past). And they are very comfortable.

Take your time adjusting to them – don’t just step out with plans of talking a 5 mile walk. You will need to start out with just a 15-20 minute 1 mile walk and build from there.

Now Skechers has these great shoes available with a slip resistant sole for working professionals. Yes, these Skechers shoes make a great pair of nursing shoes. Stand in them, walk in them and enjoy the comfort of them. The SR Shape Ups® are available in black or white. So these make great restaurant shoes, kitchen shoes and hospitality shoes as well.

So give these slip-resistant work shoes a try, have a little fun, enjoy the cushy comfort, work your muscles and improve your posture all while you’re at work.

Shape-up while you walk and work with Skecher's slip resistant Shape Ups® - a more natural way to walk.

Skechers Slip Resistant Shape Ups® available now at MichiganShoe.com – we make people happy at work. Each pair comes with an instruction guide and DVD.
