About Cushe
Cushe*, (pronounced ‘Cushy’) was born in the summer of 2004. A brand conceived by a group of footwear designers and enthusiasts, we are an independently thinking, design led footwear brand, based in the UK, offering unique and exciting footwear choices for a dynamic, inspired and confident generation. The Cushe name reflects a way of life that we as a team aspire to and we spend every day refining our art to deliver only the type of shoes that we love to wear ourselves.

Cushe was set up as a direct response to the global brands that dominate the lifestyle footwear market. Our aim is to make something a bit different, unique and set apart from the masses, challenging the boundaries of footwear design rather than following trends set by others.

Ever mindful of the increasing work hours and stress levels of modern living, we strive to create shoes for a lifestyle that is independent and individual, with the freedom to do things our own way, at our own pace. That’s the theory anyway, and we design our shoes with this ideal in mind.

We love detail - the little things you can and can’t see that make our product that extra bit unique and special. Because we have the know-how, we also utilise the latest manufacturing techniques, and the most innovative materials to make our shoes conform to your foot’s natural shape, ensuring comfort, protection and stability. Each shoe’s design is thought through, making sure that only the best components and constructions are used.

Season after season, we’ve strived to challenge our previous collection, to keep bringing fresh and exciting product to the table and we reckon we’ve once again set the bar even higher. Every shoe in our collection reflects the passion, commitment and enthusiasm of the Cushe team. We hope you love everything about our shoes. Go ahead and take a closer look.

Planet Shoes has launched a specialized Health and Wellness Shoe Shop including popular brands like Earth Footwear, Skechers Shape-Ups and MBT Shoes. The Health and Wellness shop includes shoes with technology designed to support the body; in fitness, in the workplace and in everyday activities.

“Health and Wellness footwear has really come a long way in terms of styling and technology,” explained Philippe Meynard, President of Planet, Inc. “People tend to associate Health and Wellness footwear with shoes that feel great but perhaps don’t keep up in terms of style. We’ve focused on finding brands that offer comfort, support and even calorie burning while being totally appropriate for everything from work to an evening out.”

Health and Wellness footwear, according to PlanetShoes.com, includes many styles from the traditional sneaker to cozy winter boots and even stylish pumps. The criteria for being included in the Health and Wellness Shop are based on the technology and health benefits of the shoes.

“Brands like Naot, Geox and Gravity Defyer all offer elegant styling and attention to detail with specially designed footbeds and technology. You’ll find posture support, anatomical foot support, temperature control and shock absorption.” explained Meynard. “These are shoes that may not look like Health and Wellness footwear on the outside – which is why we wanted to make a special push on the website bring these brands to our customer’s attention.”

The Health and Wellness shop includes hundreds of shoes, boots and slippers for men, women and children and brands including:

• Alegria
• Aura
• Birkenstock
• Chaco
• Clarks
• Earth
• Geox
• Gravity Defyer
• MBT Shoes
• Naot
• Power Diet
• Reebok

For us, the Health and Wellness shop is a natural extension and a way to help fans of particular brand to find other options that are equally healthy and supportive.”

We’ve talked about Acorn here on the blog before. We’re talked about specific styles and we’ve shown you their extended widths, their Vegan footwear and their earth friendly slippers. Acorn has focused their footwear on comfort.

Every pair of slippers, shoes and slipper socks are engineered for maximum comfort with contoured cushioned footbeds and sturdy but flexible indoor/outdoor soles. Basically, Acorn shoes and slippers are designed to be the kind of footwear you never want to take off and the shoes or slippers you wonder how you ever lived without.

In the past, we’ve focused our Acorn inventory on comfort slippers and slipper socks, but we’re psyched to bring you some great Acorn shoe options! We now have Acorn boots, Acorn casual shoes and even some Acorn Sandals for both men and women. Let me introduce you to the new Acorn footwear style for fall, the versatile and super comfortable Earthroamer.

The concept behind the Acorn Earthroamer is a shoe that can meet the needs of men and women in various styles. We offer an ankle bootie for women and a Moc and Clog for men and women. The look of the shoe is casual and rugged and it’s feature rich.

The Earthroamer is water resistant style and simply slips on with an elasticized panel for maximum comfort and a snug fit. The boot is made of heathered felt which is 50% wool and 50% recycled PET that is treated to make the boot water repellent to keep you warm and dry. The footbed is made from molded PU and is removable and the unique looking outsole is made with rubber pressed with natural Jute.

These men’s and women’s boots, mocs and clogs are perfect for chilly fall days and brisk winter mornings. They’ll feel like slippers while you get the support and protection you need on a daily basis. They are eco-friendly as well and like all Acorn footwear, shipped to you in recycled packaging.

So basically, you get a great value on an eco-friendly shoe that is also super comfortable and designed to be cozy and durable no matter the elements. No brainer, right?

P.S. Don’t forget, we have a TON of Acorn slippers for fall and winter in stock right now - ready to keep you warm and comfortable on those days at home. So check ‘em out!

We continue our fabulous fitness footwear series with a great, high quality, well known brand that we’re very proud to carry here at Planet Shoes - and that’s MBT Footwear!

MBT Footwear has a loyal following and a growing business because their technology works. Their “anti-shoe” mentality is all about helping people to use technology in shoes to get back to a more natural walking experience.

“Natural instability” which comes from walking barefoot on sand or soft ground is some of the best and most healthful activity in which you can engage. The reason this technology and design works is that your whole body is engaged in movement, balance and momentum.

MBT Footwear uses a rocker outsole, which is thick and rounded to encourage a rolling gait. This rolling movement reduces the shock and strain on joints, tendons and muscles and also encourages better posture, a longer and more natural gait and because it’s engaging more muscles, MBT Footwear help you train just by being on your feet.

The shoe is constructed with three major sections. There is a TPU and glass fiber shank that provides the firmness needed to maintain the rocker sole construction and distributes weight and pressure evenly throughout the whole sole of the shoe.

The balancing section of the shoe is integrated into the midsole beneath the metatarsus to encourage the natural destabilization which activates more muscles throughout the body.

Finally, there is an elliptical section underneath the heel of the shoe which creates a comfortable cushion that also emulates the sensation of walking on sand or soft ground, therefore activating additional muscles.

MBT Footwear is popular for every kind of walking activity, including pacing in your office, and they are offered in all styles, shapes and colors so you can use them for your activity of choice. They are also recommended for athletes because they improve post workout recovery and build core muscles and balance at all times.

So how do MBT shoes measure up against the other players in this space?

What often holds people back from getting in on the MBT Footwear craze is the fact that they look a little different and they are not inexpensive. Running at about $250 retail with the occasional promotional pricing, they can be beyond the reach of many folks.

Of course, their innovative design is the key to their success and these shoes aren’t inexpensive because they are made with very high quality materials and they are designed to support you and keep you going in a way very few shoes are.

Essentially, if you are ready to truly invest in a shoe that will withstand time, elements and a lot of walking, MBT footwear might very well be the right choice for you. With their style versatility, they do make a better choice for a transitional shoe from office to home or out and about on the weekend.
