HOW WE STARTED

When we first started designing Elev8, our goal was to create footwear that could enhance comfort and performance by adding extra bounce and support. Our initial prototype used springs embedded in the bottom of the sole to absorb impact and return energy with each step.

However, during testing, we realized that this design had safety and stability issues — the springs could shift unevenly, create pressure points, and potentially cause instability when walking or running.

To solve this, we went back to the drawing board and developed a new, improved version featuring carbon fiber soles.
