Groundies Lima.
The healthy "Vans" that lets you keep that iconic look while taking care of your feet.
You love Vans.
That's a fact.
Their unique design looks great from afar and they have the power to match any outfit you wear.
The bad thing?
That every time you wear them your feet see the 'stars':
- They have a round toe: this means that your toes are squashed and they have to find their own way to fit inside that tiny space, something that causes you to have a little toe that you can barely see, toes that are bunched up, chafing and also the dreaded bunions.
- They are heavy: every step you take you have to lift that extra weight that, at the beginning of the day seems like nothing, but in the middle of the day you feel like you've run a marathon. They're bursting at the seams.
- They have a drop: yes, most of them have a slight rise in the heel that affects your posture. Contributing to poor pressure distribution on your feet, ankles, knees, back and neck.
So... so what is it about the Lima that your feet love so much?
Simple.
They're shaped like a Foot, not a Shoe:
- WIDE at the front: so that your toes can open up and their linearity is maintained, avoiding serious problems such as Morton's Neuroma, bunions and painful metatarsalgia.
- WITHOUT reinforcements: so that nothing modifies the natural movements of your feet and ankles, whether on flat or sloping terrain.
- FLAT (no drop or heel): so that nothing affects the natural curve of your spine, making your posture more relaxed throughout the day. Avoiding the tensions, instability and knee problems caused by shoes with a raised heel.
- Highly FLEXIBLE: so your feet can adapt and move freely over the shape of the ground, giving you more balance, greater foot strength and more control. As well as minimising the risk of unexpected turns that lead to painful sprains and strains.
And they've got everything you're looking for You
- A look that won't go out of style: their classic design makes them timeless, so you'll never "fall behind" in style.
- Makes your life easier: no matter what you're wearing, whatever the season. Lima go with all your clothes: jeans, chinos, blazer? even a tracksuit. So you won't have to waste time every morning figuring out what to wear. You've got it all figured out.
- It lets you go everywhere: the TrueSense® barefoot sole leaves your feet free to do whatever you like: walking, strolling and dancing.
Care and maintenance of your Lima
Brush the surface with a soft brush to remove any dust or sand.
Then wipe with a damp cloth. You can apply a little neutral soap in case of heavy soiling. And leave them to dry in the shade.
