LOTUS DORMEONE" SHOES are very old and tried favourites. They have two special features —the LOW HEEL and the "DORMEONE” STRAP.
The heal is only 4′′ high...This means that the weight of the body is thrown well back and a correct stance is enforced. Almost as good as the ideal the barefoot stance,
The "DORMEONE" strap acts like a veritable extra ligament, bracing the arch of the foot constantly and taking away the strain of the low heel. It is adjustable both for position and tension. It permits a full day's golf or hiking without foor fatigue.
