The Tech
The Pivot 1.0 was born out of our own frustration. Despite years of physical therapy, yoga, ankle braces, and tape, we kept getting ankle injuries.Eventually, we asked ourselves: why isn’t there a better solution? That question became our “why,” and it drove us to build the shoe we wish we had all along.

We’ll break down The Pivot’s tech and design principles more in the next post.
