It’s tough being a Japanese woman — and this is meant without any chauvinism or irony intended!

The Ashipita DX is a new kind of footwear to help posture and blood circulation.
It is designed to be easy to slip onto women’s feet when they are working or commuting, or even doing more strenuous activities, like yoga or exercise.
If you suffer from swollen feet due to all those office hours imprisoning your feet in tight shoes, the Ashipita DX will assist your feet returning to a healthier shape. They also support your posture so you use the whole of your foot, stimulating and strengthening your foot in a natural arc suitable for walking. And perhaps best of all, they aid blood circulation and thus keep you warm in the winter.
The design has already been patented in four countries and was developed at the University of Nagoya.
At the moment there are two colors available, black and beige, and three sizes.
