What is Receptor?
Walking is science Walking is a very dynamic and complex movement involving the whole body especially the sensory cells in the foot: The Receptors Receptor is based on a strict set of scientific guidelines developed for ECCO by some of the worlds leading biomechanists at the Panum Institute in Copenhagen Denmark. Our approach into the complex universe of walking has been the fact that every time you take one step your foot takes three: 1) heel strike 2) mid-foot stance and the 3) forefoot push-off. The science and engineering behind Receptor products is truly science in motion and epitomizes ECCOs belief that Walking is Science. What is a Receptor?
Receptors are the very tips of your nerve endings that send impulses to the brain causing reactions to external conditions. What do you mean every time I take one step my foot takes three? The heel strike, mid-foot stance, and the forefoot push-off are the three ranges of motion your foot takes for each step you take. ECCOs team at the Panum Institute has developed both new design and materials technology to create the necessary support and comfort your foot requires while you take a step. How does all of this Receptor technology help me?
When your heel strikes the ground while walking the Receptor technology takes over. The mid-soles are constructed with different densities of Phylon® for cushioning and support with Gekko rubber outsole. The anatomically correct heel assists to replicate the natural flex pattern of the bare foot while walking. The exo-skeletal wrap-around shank allows your great ligament to lock in to place providing you with both enhanced stability and comfort at mid-stance in your step. The three-finger propulsion plate and the dual axis flex channels under the fore foot provide additional torque during the push-off phase helping reduce fatigue while walking.
