Introduction
As we age, staying active becomes increasingly important for maintaining physical and mental well-being. Whether it's taking brisk walks in the park, joining a dance class, or practicing tai chi, finding the right footwear is essential for seniors to stay comfortable and safe during their activities.
Comfort is Key
Atoms sneakers are designed with ample cushioning to provide support and absorb shock, reducing the impact on joints.
the model 000 shoe is remarkable. I have pairs of various colors. Three of them are from the Model 000 but I also have the others as well. The design of the shoe appeals to me. It's a tennis shoe but very elegant. The shoe goes well with all outfits. I'm hoping that they never change this style. As for comfort, it feels like a part of my body. I can sleep in these shoes. They are sturdy and I walk a lot. I feel my foot is supported well, and my feet never feel tired. At this point in my life, I will never wear another brand - Tosh B
Our shoes feature a comfortable toe box to accommodate foot swelling, bunions, or other issues that may occur with age - you can select a half or quarter size up for a more relaxed fit.
This is my second part of Model 000. As with the first, the fit is comfortable from day one. Standing for long periods or walking for hours poses no problems. Not much to say about the color of a black shoe, but they are a true black and clean up easily - Michael A
Atoms sneakers also feature removable insoles to accommodate orthotic inserts if needed for additional support.
Stability and Support
Atoms model 001 sneakers include a sturdy outsole which wraps around the midsole, to help stabilize the foot and prevent ankle rolling - seniors involved in moderate to high-impact activities may benefit from Atoms model 001, which is designed to provide more support.
The Model 000 Atoms are incredibly comfortable. I'm wearing them without my orthotics and they still provide good support and are lightweight to boot! - Amy S.
Model 000 and 001 shoes feature a supportive midsole that provides arch support, unlike other shoes which have a fixed arch, our shoes customize the arch to your feet as you use them, thereby helping promote proper foot alignment
I have two pairs of 000 shoes and one pair of one pair of 001's. They are truly wonderful shoes. Even after wearing them all day, my feet are not tired nor are they hot. The shoes are incredibly comfortable. I have multiple skeletal and balance problems. My spinal surgeon suggested that I wear a certain make of slip-on shoes to help my back. I have done so for years until I discovered Atoms. They are just as supportive and stable as my old shoes, yet they are so much lighter. They don't look clunky and they go with casual clothes as well as more dressy clothes. Great shoes - Clement R.
Atoms sneakers feature a non-slip outsole to ensure stability and traction, especially on uneven surfaces or slippery floors.
Lightweight and Breathable Design
Atoms sneakers are lightweight, and feature stretch laces, so that they are easy to put on and take off, reducing strain on joints and muscles.
Right out of the box these canvas shoes are comfortable and ready for a walk . I really love the elegant look of these shoes.. no brand names or swishes ! I have 3 pairs , navy, solid black and now these with the crisp white sole !I wear my atoms with jeans and everything! Cool with a denim shirt or black pants! I also love that they come in half and quarter sizes., I wear an 11 and 3/4. They are very flattering as well - Lori G.
Our sneakers feature breathable materials including a mesh upper to promote airflow and prevent overheating, especially during longer activities.
Proper Fit
We recommend you measure your feet regularly, as shoe size can change with age and foot shape may alter over time.
Ensure there is enough room in the toe box to wiggle toes comfortably without feeling cramped.
Test your shoes by walking around, to ensure a snug but not tight fit, with no rubbing or pressure points.
Atoms model 000 shoes include quarter sizes, so you can get the perfect fit.
It was great to wear a pair of shoes right out of the box, and what was even more impressive, they came in an ""unheard"" of, at least by me, 8.75 sizes. That additional quarter of an inch could have earned you an extra star if it existed. Also, being a real estate agent means I am constantly on my feet and can wear them without being under-dressed. I am thrilled with my 000s; I texted a picture of them to my daughter, saying, "I have a new love” - Sandra M
These are great all-day shoes when navigating the cobblestones, uneven walkways, and staircases of ancient cities. They provide excellent support and comfort, and the quarter-inch sizing make the fit exact. I chose the black because I knew I would be walking through some dirt and dust; so I wanted a pair that wouldn't show the dirt. It all worked out perfectly
I also have a white pair that I reserve for use at cocktail parties around the pool. Not much dirt there! - James Q
Conclusion
Choosing the right sneakers is essential for active seniors to enjoy their favorite activities safely and comfortably.
