Lee Baxter, VP of Performance Product for Sperry Top-Sider.
A lot of shoes that are comfortable also have a
tendency sometimes to be slightly overbuilt.
And shoes that are great for on the water tend to not be
comfortable.
With Sperry's SON-R Technology, what we've tried
to do is really kind of bring those two things together in
one product.
From the second you unload your kayak, your balance is
under attack.
From rocky trails and sandy streams, to blind seabeds and
churning water.
Sperry Top-Sider has developed a revolutionary and lab tested
technology that helps you feel, think and react to all
heart-pounding conditions on land or in the water.
A unique combination of components creates a feedback
loop that enhances perception of what's happening
beneath your feet.
It starts with a flexible outsole that features
articulating pods, that transfer ground force through
the midsole to an interactive footbed
containing independent chambers.
These chambers relay information from the ground
through the foot to the brain.
The result?
Integrated technology that actually improves traction,
stability and agility on all types of terrain.
The design is carefully engineered with strategically
placed pods on the flexible outsole, which are raised just
one millimeter from the base to facilitate your ability to
perceive what's under foot and gain orientation.
Additionally, the molded siping with Hydrogrip Rubber
assures tenacious traction on changing terrains, textures
and surfaces.
The pressures exerted on the outsole interact with the
independent chambers in the interactive footbed,
transferring stimuli to the foot, then to the brain, and
back again.
This real time feedback loop heightens natural sensory
responses to improve stability and agility, whether portaging
over rocky terrain, hiking through slippery streams, or
adjusting your feet inside your kayak, your performance
is enhanced in all conditions on land or in the water.
SON-R Technology lets you see with your feet, for a more
connected and inspired paddling experience.
