【Not Tired!?】I walked in the park for an hour with Workman's cuboid bone support "BMZ(R) Asitore Sandal"

I bought Workman's "BMZ(R) Asitore Sandal" to see if the patented structure sole that supports the cuboid bone changes foot fatigue. I walked for a little longer in the park to check it out.

Report on wearing Workman's BMZ® Asitole Sandals.

I used to think that the heaviness in my calves after walking long distances was a "sign of fatigue." However, after trying the Workman sandals, I felt that my experience of "fatigue" changed a bit. I wore the BMZ® Asitore Sandals, which feature a patented sole that supports the cuboid bone, and walked in the park for an hour. I would like to report on the changes I noticed.

"What does it mean to 'support the cube bone'?"

The cuboid bone refers to a small bone located on the outer side of the little toe of the foot, serving as a foundation that supports weight transfer during walking. It is different from the arch of the foot. The insoles of the BMZ® Aministrator sandals feature a raised portion that pushes up from below the cuboid bone and the anterior part of the calcaneus, and this structure is patented.
When I saw the sandals, to be honest, I felt, "What changes if the sole of my foot is supported?" It seems worth trying for 1900 yen to identify the cause of the heaviness in my calves after walking long distances and the lingering fatigue.

They may look flimsy, but the sandals…

when lined up with the sneakers I usually wear, it's clear that the sandals are thinner and lighter. Can these flimsy sandals really be effective?
Structurally, rather than absorbing shock with heavy cushioning, they are designed not to hinder the natural movement of the foot. I had doubts about whether it would really make a difference in fatigue, but I decided to just wear them and walk.

After walking for an hour in the park, I felt a sense of "gripping something"

I walked for about an hour at the same pace as always in the local park. The route mixed concrete pavement with grass, so the conditions were the same as my usual walking.
What I felt immediately after starting to walk was a sense of "grasping something." There was a subtle stimulation around the base of my toes, clearly different from the sneakers I’m used to. The first 10 minutes felt uncomfortable.
Despite feeling uncomfortable, I walked for an hour. By the way, I wonder if "Ashi Tore" means training for the feet?

The heaviness in my calves was not dramatically different, just "somehow."

After finishing walking, my calves felt lighter than usual. It's not a dramatic change; it’s just a difference in the sense of "somehow."
However, it felt like the heaviness in my calves was less than usual. It's not a dramatic change; it’s just a difference in the sense of "somehow." The feeling of "grasping with my toes," a movement I had never been conscious of in sneakers, continued for the whole hour, making me feel like my way of walking changed rather than it being a function to reduce fatigue.

The next day, I had slight muscle soreness around my toes. I think areas that are usually not used were stimulated. I wasn't expecting dramatic effects, so this level of change is rather honest; it might actually lead to foot training for walking without getting tired if I keep wearing these.
