Shoe Features and Biomechanical Effects:
Western Roller shoe has a larger contact area with the toe region than conventional shoes and a wide bevel around the surface area providing excellent multi-directional rolling that reduces the leverages significantly.
The basic principle of the Western Shoe is set back at the toe with the widest point of the foot used as a guideline for the center of the joint.

Therapeutic Effects:
The main function is to relieve the breakover to all directions and release tension in the deep digital flexor tendon, thus reducing stress on the distal sesamoid (navicular bone). This shoe also reduces rotation movements and stresses on collateral ligaments.

Indication:
Reducing the leverage to the joint by bringing the breakover point of a shoe within a given proximity to the center of articulation has proven to be extremely beneficial as a treatment protocol.
The Western Roller is an ideal choice for those who want extra support for intense physical activities, seeking to optimize comfort and performance, whilst reducing stresses particularly on joints in order to increase the sports longevity.
