“After a few hours of wearing it, I found that the Ganter active shoe noticeably activated my foot arches and that a clear straightening impulse propagated into my spine. Walking and standing will strengthen the back muscles virtually "on their own" additionally through this truly innovative sole patent.“

“The clear pressure relief on both metatarsophalangeal joints has a particularly positive effect on my foot. In other low shoes, my toe issues have required wearing orthopaedic insoles with a special relief for the metatarsophalangeal joint in order to walk without pain. Your shoe enables me to walk without pain in spite of not using insoles!“

“I particularly recommend this shoe to people with spinal issues, since the more upright gait has a positive effect on the muscle balance on the torso. The back muscles are exercised without force.“

“As a mindfulness trainer, I feel pleasantly reminded of paying attention to every moment of a step by the light pressure when walking.
I therefore recommend wearing the GANTER AKTIV also for activities that are connected with long standing phases, e.g. in meetings and when working while standing up, for attending concerts or even in the household when ironing clothes.“

“Months of slouching in cheap sports shoes made my knees worse. I never had any issues since I switched to shoes from Ganter.
All in all, I am very happy with the shoe. I would even claim that they are the most pleasant and medically best shoes I have tried out so far.“

“The shoe delivers what its name promises! With this unrolling element (rocker), the pressure is transferred very quickly and directly to the forefoot, which leads to an active gait that also becomes evident in the form of straightening impulse in the spine. Based on my experience in the area of gait analysis and daily work, I think that this is a good solution that enforces an active gait while permitting a round unrolling motion.“

“Since I have some issues with Pes Anserinus syndrome, this shoe was just what I needed. Improvement occurred immediately after wearing them briefly. The unrolling behaviour was impeccable.“

Physician, Blaustein
“When I first unpacked your shoe and held the “log" in my hands, I was highly disappointed I thought that his shoe would surely be worse for me than my sneakers are. I was greatly surprised, however, when I first walked in this shoe: No insecurity, barely any back pain: I was able to go on longer walks without pain and without a walker.“

“The GANTER AKTIV is good for my back. I feel a clear straightening effect and improvement of my posture.
Even long trade fair days have lost their horror with the GANTER AKTIV!“

“And now to the important thing – the sole! Guys you made that really great. My compliments to you! I really like the design and that active pump is so efficient. The shoe is almost a training device!“

“The sporty cut is suitable for the office, the color is discreet and can be combined with many trousers. The pressure element could be in a discreet color - but then, of course, the eye-catching specialty of the shoe will be missing. The fit is good and the shoes can be worn the whole day. My result is quite positive and I can recommend the shoes.“
Klaus-Peter Müller
consultant for sleeping system, Frankfurt/Main
“After two hours of wearing the shoes the initial scepticism did not came true. And after one week of wearing the shoes I became a fan. I am in the lucky situation, due to my job as a consultant for sleeping systems, to do my daily work while standing, sitting or walking. With the new GANTER Active shoe, it's a feeling of lightness and almost an active feeling of being pushed in the forward movement. Even in high temperatures, I had never the feeling of wearing a too warm shoe. The fit and the light weight are very comfortable.“
Michael Schöffel
Bad Kreuznach
“The cut out on the heel makes my chronically inflamed Achilles heel no problems. In most of the shoes, this spot will be touched directly so I cannot wear them. The GANTER Active are very comfortable and do not pinch anywhere. I like the design of the shoes - no modern "sneaker" and it looks better in my opinion!“
Reiner Ritter
Schuhhaus Ritter, Troisdorf
“Our experiences with the Ganter Aktiv shoe can be described as being very positive. The sales arguments for us, and the possibilities offered by this shoe to wearer, quickly convince the customer. Until now we have been able to help a great number of customers with pain in the metatarsal bones, arthritis, varicose veins, overweight,
back pain and knee problems. In cooperation with a local chemist’s during an “Arthritis” advertising campaign, we have awakened a great deal of interest and have been able to convince new customers.”

“Ganter Aktiv released the tensions in my back muscles and especially the shoulder muscles. I can actually feel the way in which Ganter Aktiv creates muscular compensation in the leg- and back muscles. I have experience with the products of other manufacturers, but Ganter Aktiv is a super product with unequalled flexing
comfort. Walking in this shoe relaxes me and is really beneficial.”
Ralf Wunderle
Physiotherapist, Gundelfingen
“Recommendation for the Ganter Aktiv Shoe Regularly wearing the shoe with its special roll system has the effect of a functional
training process that activates the entire muscle system that gives the body its posture. The foot muscles are strengthened, while the calf and thigh muscles are also vitalised and stretched. The lower joints are returned to their physiologically natural position. The pelvis is raised, which stretches the entire spinal column and takes the
stress off the lumbar vertebrae, balancing the pectoral girdle and regulating the position of the head. The result is a compensating of the imbalance of the muscles of the entire body, a problem that is regarded as the main cause of orthopaedic complaints. In addition,
after a short period of adjustment, the wearer develops a harmonious gait and an upright posture, expressing his or her self-confidence, strength and health. I recommend Ganter Aktiv shoes to my patients as a parallel therapeutic measure. They can also be used as a preventive measure to avoid the pains that result from
poor posture.”

“The Ganter Aktiv simulates walking barefoot on a natural yielding ground. Walking with the shoe gives a feeling similar to walking barefoot on forest or sandy ground. Personally I find the Ganter Aktiv very pleasant – even if worn all day. Its functional characteristics make it particularly suitable as a means of improving the muscles of the foot. It may even counteract weaknesses and complaints of the foot. Simply by wearing the Ganter Aktiv show, we can train the foot at least moderately throughout the day.”
Frank Arenhövel
Orthopaedic master shoemaker, Essen
“The Ganter Aktiv is the best shoe that I know of. No other shoe relieves the forefoot in a similar way. The foot climate is exceptionally
good, which I trace back to the exclusive use of vegetable-tanned leathers in the shoe lining!”
