www.akesso.com is the home for akesso shoes—providing comfort to those on their feet all day; safety for those who work where slips, trips, falls and contamination are daily hazards; and style for professionals who want to look good on the job. Designed for the athlete in scrubs--nurses, doctors, dentists, techs and others who work in medical settings—akesso shoes can now be purchased online.

"These shoes were inspired by the health care workers who cared for our grandfather Charlie during the last months of his 97 years-long life," said akesso CEO Bruce Todtfeld. "I was amazed by how physically demanding their jobs are. It struck me that the shoes they were wearing were designed for other end purposes and not the specific environments in which they work."

This innovative footwear combines the best features of a running sneaker--light weight and flexibility--with the support and convenience of a clog, without having to compromise on either. akesso shoes, named for the Greek goddess of curing and healing, enable healthcare providers to give the best care possible without pain, and without worry.

akesso shoes are designed based on the comfort and safety needs of the healthcare professional, without compromising on style. Key benefits of the patent-pending design include attractive designs made with high quality materials; comfort derived from a platform that emphasizes light weight, cushioning, support and flexibility; traction from a sole with slip-resistant rubber and razor-siping tread design like a high-performance boat shoe; waterproof leathers and upper design without laces, meshes, voids or hydrophilic materials to help protect against contamination and make for easy cleaning; secure fit with American whole and half sizes--a key difference versus the European sizing and unisex sizing found in many clogs.

"I encourage anyone who works on their feet all day or all night to give these shoes a try," said Todtfeld. "akesso shoes are always a better value, and will give you comfort and safety without compromising on style."
