Gen2Walk: Innovating Posture by Medicine and Science
- Gen2walk® is 2nd generation Shoe that corrects posture by strengthening HERm(Hip External Rotator muscles) using body weight while walking.
- Posture is not only a cosmetic issue, but also lowers our quality of life by causing various medical problems including back pain and urinary incontinence.
- Gen2Walk® has clinical proof at Soonchunhyang University Hospital in Korea in 2022(3.6g reduction in urinary incontinence, and life quality soaring from 58.9 to 75.5 after 2 month’s use of Gen2Walk®)

Product Summary
1. Lifestyle guide correcting Posture while walking
- New standard in shoe that adds ‘good posture’ to the values of ‘design’ and ‘comfort’.
- Improving posture that are worsening as aging and digitalization progress.
- Improving appearance and QoL(Quality of Life).
2. Smart exercise
- Innovatively, body weight is used as the exercise resistance for strengthening of HERm through daily activity, walking.
- Torque for strengthening HERm is generated in the shoe and transmitted to the hip joint, using our unique patented medical science technology.
- Gen2Walk® frees you from the constraints of ‘exercising consistently without giving up’, which all exercises fail to solve.
3. Know-How & Know-What about posture correction
- World first medical discovery about posture correction by strengthening HERm and verification by multiple medical societies since 1997.
- A preliminary clinical trial verified Quality of life index soaring from 58.9 to 75.5 and urinary incontinence reduction by 3.6g.(Soonchunhyang Bucheon University Hospital, 2022)
- Registered patent in Korea which was selected for the Korea Intellectual Property Office's Rights Acquisition and Avoidance Strategy Program(2023) and applied patents in the US, EU, China, Japan.
- 2023 Korea Invention Patent Exhibition Gold Prize (Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Award).
Detailed Description
Engneering
- The core technology of Gen2walk® is to convert the body weight i.e. linear force, acting on the shoe into torque, i.e. rotational force, acting on the hip joint.
- During the mid-stance phase of the gait cycle, TGD(Torque Generating Device) converts body weight into torque.
- When body weight presses on the shoe insole, the resulting torque induces a 7-degree inward rotation and is transmitted to the hip joint.
- CEO, Dr. Seo's 27 years of challengeable research led to the 'Ondol Syndrome' theory.
- The 'Ondol Syndrome' has medically proven that good posture is not only aesthetically pleasing, but is also effective in treating posture-related diseases such as back pain and urinary incontinence, and the key of postural correction is strengthening of HERm(Hip External Rotator muscles).
- Reference: ‘Ondol syndrome’ Seo, M.D.(2011), Calf Surgery and Leg Contouring(pp. 280-296), Kunja Publishing.
- Our achievements
1. Gen2walk® uses body weight as a driving force for posture correction during walking.
2. Torque for the HERm strengthening is generating from body weight by TGD.
3. The torque generating in the shoe to be delivered to the hip joint by taking advantage of the anatomical feature that the ankle and knee joints are non-rotating.
Design
- We believe that the design of Gen2walk® should not be hindered even by innovative functionality.
- By minimizing the size of TGD(Torque Generating Device), a key component embedded in the midsole, we are able to accommodate the design preferences of consumers of various countries, races and ages.
- When body weight is transferred to the insole, the heel side of the insole is pressed down by 5 mm and the front part of the insole is rotated inward by 7 degrees.
- The insole's cushioning when pressed and the rotational movement provide the additional benefit of distributing the shock of body weight concentrated on the shoe to the knee and hip joints.
- The characteristic semi-solid insole is designed to accommodate the anatomical structure of the sole to provide better relief for users suffering from various foot pain(ex. plantar fasciitis), and reduce fatigue when walking for a long time.
