Apex Men’s Athletic Bungee – A5000 – Black

The A-Last Collection

Shoes built with A-Last technology are engineered to support the natural motion of the foot while walking or running. Since a neutral gait is the most biomechanically efficient way to move, A-Last shoes are specifically designed to make that movement as comfortable as possible. Recommended for those who have neutral to mild overpronation, bunions, diabetic feet or those who need removable insoles to accommodate orthotic inserts.

About The Apex ABS Hiker

The Apex ABS Hiker represents the next step in our revolutionary, scientific* approach to helping those at risk of falls live active, independent lifestyles. Based on the original Apex ABS, the ABS Hiker delivers all the same features but in a rugged, hiker style that is perfect for outdoor or casual wear. To help you reduce fall risk, the ABS Hiker contains a firm, adjustable heel counter to provide stability while being able to accommodate an AFO. In addition, a textured footbed provides proprioceptive sensory feedback, helping those with polyneuropathy get a better sense of how their feet are interacting with the ground. Finally, a hard rubber outsole boosts traction, ideal for spending time outdoors. Fall Risk and Footwear* There is a notable correlation between fall risk and footwear:

• Inappropriate footwear has been identified as a contributor of up to 45% of falls.
• A study of people who had suffered a fall-related hip fracture reported that 75% were wearing poor footwear at the time of injury.
• Appropriate footwear has been identified as a preventative measure in reducing fall risk.
• Footwear can improve balance.
• Textured footbed provides proprioceptive sensory feedback for polyneuropathy.
