Heel Drops

A Beginner's Guide to the Hotly Debated Topic

How do you decide which heel drop is the best for you?

To kick things off it's important to ask yourself something...Who are you buying these shoes for?
If it's for you, think about what matters most to you and go with that.  We'll break down what each heel drop offers in terms of style and it's effect on your posture and gait cycle.

I briefly want to disrupt the idea that this picture represents.  There is some truth to it but I feel like it's taken way too far.  The idea that you cannot or will not correct your posture is simply untrue.
Now over time, due to muscle fatigue, it would be more true than initially; but that really comes down to the individual.
I am not opposed to the idea altogether, just to how much some people shout it.

That being said, I'm sure you're left with the question of "Should I choose zero drop then?"

Let's start there.

Zero drop is the most healthy, it's the most comfortable, it's the least likely to throw off your posture and gait.

It’s a blend of lifestyle, how much you want to slide traditional aesthetic vs. health focus.  We have 3 heel drops so that you can have more options when choosing.  Joey wears different heel drops for different styles, “I just love the way a 15mm heel drop looks on a pair of boots.”

Here’s a brief breakdown of each heel drops focus

ZERO DROP // 0mm

This is the healthiest heel drops.  What we mean when we say that is there is no effect on your posture or gait.  It also comes off as more casual.

LOW DROP // 4mm

This a blend of health and aesthetics.  You have a low heel that gives just enough of that classical style, without throwing off your gait more than a breath.

TRADITIONAL DROP // 15mm

This is the truest to form traditional heel.  It’s what everyone pictures in a dress shoe.  It also has the added perk of making you taller.
