HAIX has launched the CONNEXIS Go, the world’s first leisure shoe with active fascia stimulation to supercharge the foot muscles and prevent injury. The shoes support the natural functioning of the feet and prevent damage to the plantar fascia, the leading cause of heel pain in adults. 

The CONNEXIS Go is the world’s first leisure shoe with active fascia stimulation to supercharge the foot muscles and prevent injury. Developed by global footwear specialist, HAIX, the shoes support the natural functioning of the feet and prevent damage to the plantar fascia, the leading cause of heel pain in adults. 

The plantar fascia is a tough band of tissue that runs along the sole of the foot, connecting the heel bone to the toes. Ageing, high-intensity workouts, unsuitable footwear, and jobs that involve extended periods of standing or walking can all enhance the risk of damage to the plantar fascia.  

Offering a game-changer in foot health, the HAIX CONNEXIS Go is designed to loosen tight fascia and energise the muscles to boost performance and mobility, without compromising on style. 

To prevent plantar fascia damage and help reduce fatigue, the HAIX CONNEXIS Go features an innovative strap construction, called fascia tape, that runs around the foot and stimulates the fasciae and muscles in the foot sole to keep them elastic.   

Conventional shoes keep the foot rigid and as a result, fasciae tend to become tight and inflexible because the tissue is not sufficiently stressed, leading to pain. However, the last of the CONNEXIS Go is not curved downwards like conventional shoes but straight, ensuring that the ball of the foot does not sag and the toes have more space to support the foot. Designed in collaboration with leading health and footwear technology experts, the shoe’s structure takes into account the foot’s natural shape and its need to move freely.  

Maximising both comfort and performance, the HAIX CONNEXIS Go is made of breathable textile microfibre material. Inside, a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane sits between the outer fabric and inner lining to keep feet dry. In addition, the slip-resistant sole offers the wearer much-needed stability and protection from slips, trips and falls. 

All HAIX shoes are 100 per cent manufactured in Europe, reflecting the HAIX commitment to fair working conditions, sustainable practices and modern testing facilities. Its entire range is manufactured at state-of-the-art factories in Germany and Croatia, considered to be two of the world’s most modern shoe production facilities. 

Simon Ash, UK Sales Manager for HAIX, says, “Our feet will take us a distance that is equivalent to going around the world up to six times during our lifetime. Such a feat demands the right support. HAIX developed the CONNEXIS Go from decades of occupational health and safety expertise to help more people enhance performance and prevent damage to their feet, whenever their next steps may take them.”
