Evidence, X10D scientifically tested.
Independent studies show: X10D can improve gait stability, promote foot function, and reduce discomfort. Discover the key findings of our studies.
Zurich
Balgrist Campus / University of Zurich showed a significantly more consistent and harmonious gait pattern after 4 weeks of X10D. The improvements were also visible in other shoes, indicating a sustainable adaptation of movement control.

With X10D, the foot rolls over the big toe again.
The COP analysis of the Balgrist Campus shows a significantly more medial rolling pattern compared to Skechers – an indication of a more natural and functional foot roll-off.

Effects of an unstable sole construction on the activation behavior of gait-relevant musculature.
The results suggest a direct link between hip muscle activity and arch support, and that the X10D promotes perception and thus also leg axis control.
Effect of an unstable sole construction on lower extremity muscle activity.
In this study, a general effect of the X10D on the muscle activity of the M. tibialis anterior and the M. gluteus medius was observed. The connection between the X10D and increased muscle activity is due to the special sole shape.

Adaptation of plantar pressure distribution after eight weeks of wearing X10D® shoes.
This study shows that wearing shoes with the new outsole and midsole design (X10D®) for eight weeks led to a change in foot pressure distribution compared to walking in conventional shoes. The pressure distribution approached the characteristics typical of barefoot walking, especially in the midfoot area.

The influence of X10D shoes on medial knee pain.
Pain intensity decreased significantly in the IG (p=0.011) from 5.29 ± 2.06 on day 1 to 3.57 ± 2.51 on day 27.
Pain in the participants in the PG also decreased, but not as sharply and not significantly with p=0.201.
