Cogent has created a therapeutic shoe which improves gait and posture, provides balance with every step while increasing flexibility and strengthening core muscles. Cogent wants people to walk properly and naturally. This is achieved in part through the unique design of their sole, which shifts the balance of our body to a neutral position allowing us to stand more upright in a perfectly balanced posture and helping you find your body's natural "Center Point", or "Dan Tien" in Tai Chi terms.
