Q: "What's the difference between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 Ursus?"
A: Building on the principles of the Gen 1 Ursus, the Gen 2 features a more durable outsole, ensuring lasting performance without compromising its core functionality.
Q: "What's the difference between the Ursus Suede and the Ursus Canvas?"
A: The Ursus Suede features a durable and premium US-sourced suede leather upper, which conforms to the shape of your foot over time. The Ursus Canvas offers a lighter, more breathable heavy-duty canvas upper which retains a firmer structure over time, ideal for activities demanding more sheer force.
Q: "What's the difference between high-top and low-top?"
A: The difference between high-top and low-top shoes is in the height of the shoe's upper. High-top shoes have a higher upper that extends above the ankle, providing a small amount of support and stability to the ankle. Low-top shoes, on the other hand, have a lower upper that does not extend above the ankle, allowing for more freedom of movement and a lighter feel.
Q: "Are the Ursus just for lifting?"
A: No. The Ursus shoes are versatile, designed for both strength training and everyday use, offering benefits in and out of the gym.
Q: "Are the Ursus recommended for flat feet?"
A: Yes. They are ideal for people with flat feet as they promote natural foot movement and muscle use, potentially strengthening arch-supporting muscles by not offering excessive arch support.
Q: "Are the Ursus okay for people with narrow feet?"
A: Yes. Wearing shoes with a wider fit can help feet adapt and become more comfortable over time. The extra room allows the toes to spread naturally, potentially addressing the issue of atrophy caused by years of wearing restrictive footwear.
