"Pleasant softness" doesn't always translate to "ease of walking." freewaters, born in California in 2010, now proposes its unique high-rebound material, 'Cloud9 Technology,' as a new standard for sandals. It goes beyond the temporary pleasure of "sinking in" pursued by conventional recovery sandals, merging rebound that suppresses energy loss with long-lasting cushioning. From city strolls to activities at your travel destination, it provides "comfort that supports and propels," pushing your feet forward with every step. We present the most rational and socially conscious "correct answer" for summer footwear, where one choice also contributes to solving global water problems.

■ Why isn't "just soft cushioning" enough?

High cushioning is a crucial element directly linked to comfort.
However, a design that sinks in too much can impair stability during walking, causing the feet to become unsteady.
When moving from a sunken state to the next step, where a natural forward force should be at play, an extra effort is required to re-stabilize.
The accumulation of this can manifest as discomfort or strain during long periods of walking.

■ The "Supporting and Propelling" Cushioning Realized by Cloud9

Cloud9 Technology is designed with a balance of cushioning and rebound, not only to receive the sole of the foot but also to smoothly connect to the next step.
By not sinking in too much, it maintains foot stability, and by returning the force of the step as a moderate rebound, it supports natural weight transfer.
As a result, it creates a sensation of being able to "keep walking" without extra burden.
