“Running is a performance act. Walking is a life act”

“We walk to work, through airports, around our neighborhoods, and simply as part of everyday life. Walking and running place very different demands on the body. With VioFeather, we asked what could happen if we engineered specifically for walking – and then challenged ourselves to make every step lighter. You count your steps. We counted every ounce.”
