For years, “comfortable” shoes meant ugly, clunky shoes. People who needed relief most were told to choose between their feet and their style.
So we set out to fix both.
We built PureStep Prime with orthopaedists and footwear engineers, rethinking the everyday shoe from the ground up.
A hands-free toggle entry so you never bend to put them on. A breathable knit upper that keeps feet cool. A wide toe box and a flat, flexible sole that let your feet move the way they were built to.
The result is real, all-day relief in a shoe you'll actually want to wear.

Effortless Wear, Maximum Comfort
Conventional shoes work against your feet. PureStep Prime works with them.
The zero-drop sole aligns your posture and kills strain on your ankles, knees and lower back. The wide toe box gives your toes room to spread, for better balance with every step.
Light. Flexible. Breathable. Comfort that lasts all day, without compromising your foot health.
Why PureStep Prime Works?
No bending, no fiddling with laces, no wrestling them on. The FreeStep Lacing™ system adjusts once and stays set, so you slide in and step out the door. One smooth motion, every time.
Most shoes squeeze your toes into a narrow point. Prime's anatomically widened toe box lets them splay into their natural position, taking pressure off bunions and easing toe pain at the source. Your feet finally get to work the way they were built to.
The ZeroFlex Base™ keeps your heel and forefoot perfectly level, the way you'd stand barefoot. That alignment cuts the joint strain a raised heel forces on you, sharpens your balance, and trains a natural stride that supports better posture all day.
The AirKnit Mesh™ upper is engineered with thousands of tiny ventilation channels that pull heat and moisture away from your skin. So even on hot days or with swelling feet, your feet stay cool, dry and comfortable from morning to night.
Built to hold its structure through all-day wear, whether you're running errands, walking for hours, or on your feet without a break. Supportive where you need it, flexible where you move.
One shoe that covers your day. The barefoot construction and breathable upper adapt across everyday wear, light activity and long hours standing, giving you comfort and foot-health support in any setting.

Strength Starts With Your Feet
Healthy movement starts at your foundation: your feet. When they move naturally, the muscles behind balance, posture and stability grow stronger, easing the tension and fatigue that creep up your legs.
PureStep's natural-motion footwear lets your feet work the way they should. The result: better mobility, fewer aches, and a body that feels good again.
Step into footwear that restores how your body was meant to move.

Frequently Asked Questions
Prime uses a toggle-elastic lacing system. The opening stretches wide so you simply step in standing up, then one pull on the toggle locks it snug to your foot.
No bending, no tying, and it loosens just as fast when your feet swell during the day.
Our sizing runs true to size for most feet. If you are between two sizes or have a wider foot, we recommend going one size up.
Every order is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee, so if the fit is not right you can exchange or return with no hassle.
Yes. The breathable knit upper, wide toe box, and flexible zero-drop sole are designed to keep feet cool and supported from morning to night, whether you are running errands, travelling, or on your feet for hours.
Many customers with bunions or plantar pain choose Prime for exactly this reason. The wide toe box lets toes spread instead of being squeezed, and the level zero-drop sole spreads weight evenly to ease pressure on the forefoot and heel.
They are not a medical device, but they are built to support natural, pain-free movement.
There can be. If you are coming from thick, raised-heel shoes, your feet and calves may need a couple of weeks to adjust to a natural, flat stride.
Start with a few hours a day and build up. Most people find the adjustment quick and well worth it.
Yes. Remove the insoles and laces first and place everything in a mesh laundry bag, then run a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild, fragrance-free detergent.
Air dry at room temperature, away from radiators, dryers, or direct sun, and let the insoles and laces dry fully before putting them back in.
Prime takes the barefoot approach: instead of a built-up arch prop, the flexible flat sole lets your foot's own muscles engage and strengthen naturally over time.
If you currently rely on orthotic insoles, the removable insole means you can keep using yours.
