Three years ago, a group of athletes sought to create running shoes with the most shock absorbent system for maximum support, and a comfortable precise fit. Why? Simply because we all deserve it!

 

MAXIMUM COMFORT AND SUPPORT ARE A MUST, FORUS SHOES COME WITH OUR PATENTED POLSTARMAX 6 INSOLES.

MAXIMUM COMFORT AND SUPPORT ARE A MUST, FORUS SHOES COME WITH OUR PATENTED POLSTARMAX 6 INSOLES.

HOW DID WE COME UP WITH FORUS?

 It all started with this statement: - “ This sucks! My shoe insoles are completely worn out and I feel like I am walking and training on a board!! It hurts!! ” 

After saying and thinking along these lines for over eight years we were fed up. We could not understand why better support meant spending an extra $30 for aftermarket insoles. We quickly learned that we were not alone to hope for a shoe with a standard shock absorbent system yet with incomparable comfort and engineering. 

 After speaking with a few podiatrists and learning that all insoles standard in shoes we purchased (even non-athletics ones) provided close to no support whatsoever, we decided to do something about it! And that’s where the journey began!

WHY THE NAME FORUS? WHAT’S WITH THE LOGO? 

Our philosophy is the inspiration behind the name FORUS. This brand is “for us” who want maximum support, comfort, and performance from our products, and “for us” who wish to make a difference in our communities. This alliance of community and business is symbolized in the logo: two hands interlock in a gesture of solidarity, people working together, and corporations supporting communities to create a better socially accountable business.

AND FINALLY....FOR NOW, IN BLACK AND ORANGE. AND WITH YOUR BACKING WE WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE MANY MORE FUN COLOR COMBINATIONS.

SIZES WE CURRENTLY HAVE..HELP US EXPAND THEM

WHY GIVE BACK? 

 It was an evolving process to set up the base framework for FORUS philanthropic vision, simply because we wanted to find the right way to give back. We believe all corporations should be involved in the communities they serve. So FORUS forever plaged 10% of its global profits to children charities worldwide. We encourage you to watch the video in our gallery explaning FORUS philantropic Mission.

IN FACT, 10% OF THE FUNDS RAISED HERE WILL GO TOWARDS FORUS PHILANTROPIC MISSION. SO JOIN US IN CHANGING LIVES.

“What if one step towards making our world a better place did not require us to donate, but simply make the choice of a brand? “ -- FORUS Athletics. 

 

 TREND-SETTING DESIGNS -- We pride ourselves in creating shoes that answer to the needs of our advocates. We won’t pretend to know what you need. All we do is talk to specialists to learn what problems need to be addressed and we work on them. And since we don’t hesitate to CHALLENGE THE STATUS QUO, we tend to go crazy with our aesthetics and engineering design! Did someone just say function and fashion?

We have current Olympians that train in our shoes, as well as a dozen people who have run marathons in them. 

 Their feedback was incredible and now with your support we can bring FORUS shoes, the most shock absorbent, stable, trend-setting shoes available, to all of you….to the world!!

FAQ

A. When are we going to receive our shoes?

Our goal is to begin shipping by the end of September.

B. What comes in a FORUS shoebox?

In each box you will have the pair of shoes in a size and color you ordered, a custom stylish silicon FORUS bracelet, and an advocate DECAL to represent what you believe in!

C. Are FORUS shoes only for athletes?

No. Thanks to the support coupled with the light weight of FORUS athletics shoes, they are perfect for walking and standing for long hours.

D. What sizes does FORUS offer?

We hope to offer womens size 6 to 10 and mens size 7 to 12. However, with your support we will be able to provide up to size 15 for men!!

E. I do CROSSFIT and alternative workouts, are FORUS shoes good for me?

Yes, the middle part of the FORUS NYTRO 90 X is made of our patented bar so you will not get any burnout when coming down the ropes during CROSSFIT. The sole design is perfect for maximum support and shock absorbance while the rubber at the bottom has threads and designs that will give you maximum traction and unparalleled stability.

 F. Can I wear your shoes without socks? 

Yes! The upper of both the MEMBRANE CRYPT and the NYTRO 90 X are super breathable allowing enough air to flow in to reduce humidity and moisture! And because they have incredible breathability, you can walk, work, and workout in them for days and have no stinking shoes!!

G. Do you have patents for your inventions?

Yes. We have had many years of analysis, sleepless nights, and heated debates with attorneys while developing our products. As a result, we have protected ALL the cool designs and unique inventions we have in all their variations with patents, copyrights, and trademark worldwide.

H. I’m an international backer. Can you deliver to my country?

Yes! We deliver worldwide, but the shipping costs will be higher and we are not responsible for customs duties and procedures.
