Atoms: The World’s First Shoe to Come in Quarter Sizes [Sponsor]

Atoms are the ideal everyday shoe designed for comfort and style with your feet in mind.

Not everyone’s feet are exactly the same size. In fact, 60% of people have one foot that’s a little bigger than the other, which is where Atoms sets itself apart. Atoms deliver an effortless fit by offering customers different sized shoes for their left and right feet. When you order, Atoms sends you three pairs in quarter-size increments, so you can pick the two shoes that fit your feet the best and return the others for free. It’s a concept so revolutionary that around 40,000 people signed up for the company’s waitlist before the shoes were publicly available.

Atoms are about more than just a perfect fit though. The Model 000 offers a simple, timeless design inspired by classic tennis shoes and careful attention to details that make them the perfect combination of form and function. The unisex design feature a proprietary foam midsole for cloud-like cushioning that’s resiliently comfortable day after day. The attention to detail extends to the stretch laces too, which were designed to stay tied and allow them to be slipped on and off easily. The shoes also feature a breathable upper with an antimicrobial copper lining that prevents odor.

With the $179 Model 000, Atoms has created a shoe that you not only can wear every day but one you’ll want to wear every day. It’s is available in three colorways (black/white, black/black, white/white), and there’s a special, limited-edition gray colorway for customers who already own a pair of Atoms.

So, visit atoms.com today to learn more about the Model 000, which is revolutionizing footwear, and order a pair for yourself.
