The Sophomore Difference

Most shoes are slowly destroying your feet. Sophomore was built to keep your feet looking good and feeling good - without weakening your feet over time.

Wide Toe Box that allows your toes to spread naturally

Narrow toe box  that squeezes your toes and deform your feet over time

Just Enough Cushion to protect your feet without weakening them

Overly cushioned, weakening your foot and lower leg muscles over time

Flat “Zero-Drop”  Construction allows your feet and body to move naturally and correctly

Elevated heels put your feet and body in an unnatural position

Extra Flexible Soles give your feet the freedom to bend and flex the way they were meant to

Stiff soles mess with your gait and keep your feet tight and immobile

Stronger, Happier Feet

Sophomore lets your feet stand naturally. That means better posture, stronger arches, and less pain. Say goodbye to sore feet!

I can’t say enough good things about these shoes. They’re light, they’re soft, and they actually give your feet the room to breathe. Also love how I can wear them in a number of different settings, from casual strolls to more stylish environments. Not to mention the sustainability factor. High high high recommend!

- Zack J. Beta Tester

Already in love with them! So comfortable and lightweight, and with the wide toe box in the front you really don’t feel crammed at all. Plus, they’re really cool!
