HOW TO PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD

The modern woman knows a thing or two about pampering herself. To look great, she has to feel great. And this couldn’t be more true when it comes to choosing the right shoes. With so much living to squeeze into each day, she needs shoes that not only last the distance, but also make her feel a million dollars.

The people at KUMFS understand this. We love shoes, are passionate about feet, and specialize in the art of achieving that great fit.

With shoe designs that focus on both the inside and out, fashion and comfort are perfectly balanced. While our shoe designers are steeped in the knowledge of shoe comfort, they also constantly challenge themselves to re-invent fashion around the foot. Seasonal fashion is combined with the latest comfort technology and cutting edge materials so that you not only look great, but feel it too.

At KUMFS, we believe women deserve the very best of both style and comfort. Strike the perfect balance – choose shoes you’ll love that also bring benefits for your health and well-being.

Contoured inlay with Poron® bounce-back memory cushioning Technogel plug in heel for cushioning and shock absorption Fully padded topline Adjustable fit Top quality, superior soft leather to mould to your foot Sole is flexible, slip resistant and hard-wearing

FACTS Our tendons... Our body’s rubber bands By observing the diagram of the human body on this page, we can easily recognize all the space that our muscles, ligaments and tendons occupy. The tendon is composed of thick, white fibres of collagen that are held tightly against one another. These fibres are made up in large part by collagen.

Our ligaments act like a connection between the bones. Our tendons act like ties to our internal structure for our muscles and our bones. The tendons and the ligaments of our body act like rubber bands of different sizes.

Since our tendons are used to bind our musculature to our bones, and to maintain elasticity and suppleness, our tendons necessitate a large amount of collagen, particularly after an injury or from aging.

Why collagen is better than glucosamine?

In the composition of cartilage we find 67% of collagen versus 1% of glucosamine.

Glucosamine is an aminosaccharide contrary to collagen which is a molecular complex containing amino acids. Glucosamine is found in interesting quantities only in the liquid of the synovial membrane. Collagen is also found in the synovial membrane but in larger quantities because the protein structure is more abundant in the body.

Glucosamine acts more like a lubricant in the joints while collagen contributes to the global regeneration of the joint at all levels: tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, membranes and synovial liquid (lubrification).
