Definition: Receptor® Technology

Designed to provided support and comfort through the three phases of the natural walking motion. ECCO Receptor® Technology is designed to mimic the motion of the bare human foot, giving the wearer serious performance and comfort.

For every step you take, your foot takes three, Receptor® soles are designed to cushion and support these three steps.

  • Step One: Push off, the sole flexes like the ball of your foot and gives you an extra boost when you push off the ground.
  • Step Two: Mid-stance, when the supporting foot holds the greatest weight burden, Receptor® support allows the Great ligament in the foot to lock in place, this maximises stability.
  • Step Three: Heel-strike, your bare foot strikes the ground at a 20 degree angle and so does Receptor®. This angle gives you the momentum to follow through in the stride.

Receptor® cushions and reduces muscle fatigue.
