When it comes to shoes, comfort is gauged by a feeling of nothingness —essentially getting as close as possible to feeling barefoot, while still protecting your feet from the elements.
Clarks, a brand known for its comfortable shoes, hasa new take on footwear design — Trigenic.
Trigenic builds off "Hygienic," an idea conceptualized by Clarks back in 1883. The ideas was to make shoes that mirror the shape of feet. As the modern version, Trigenic uses an asymmetrical three-part outsole that aids the natural movement of feet.The outsole hasother attributes that mimicthe anatomy of feet, including asloped shape, rolled edges, and gait mapping technology for maximum shock absorption.
Clarks sentme a pair of the new Trigenic Evos to review, and as a sneaker collector and fan of the brand, I was interested in tryingthem out.Before this, I'd never worn any of Clarks' sneakers and I was veryimpressed.
When taking the shoes out of the box, the first thing that made an impression was the amazing use of materials. My favorite Clarks Original silhouette is the Wallabee and I've owned both leather and suede pairs. The Trigenic Evo usedboth tumbled leather and suede, which made for a pair oftruly premium sneakers.
In my experience, Clarks run big, and the Trigenic Evos are no different. I asked for a pair a full size smaller than the one I'd usually get for sneakers and got a perfect fit.If you plan to wear thicker than normal socks, I'd recommend going down a half size.
After wearing the sneakers for a full day, I can't imagine thembeing uncomfortable on anybody. The asymmetrical design forms to and moves with the foot.
Other shoes crease when you walk because they don't move with the natural motion of feet. With a supple upper and three-piece outsole, the Trigenic Evo simply flexes as you walk. I also really appreciated the use of Vibram soles, which are durable and long lasting. That choice means the bottoms of these shoes will last just as long as the premium upper.
