MEET THE WALKERS
IMRAN
Imran is our Walker in Chief and golf dreamer. An Entrepreneur who cut his teeth in denim. With a passion for function & fashion he has number of brands within his portfolio. His stewardship of Corfu and Outback has seen him navigate many storms building his business. Weekends can see him on the green or in the clubhouse dreaming of what could have been the perfect round. He believes that Freeworld has the vision to create the perfect golf shoe (but don't tell Charlie). Until then he relaxes in the Bio Slide, ideal for fairway feet that rarely get a break and need to cope with a variety of courses; whether in Singapore, the Gold Coast or in the den on his snooker table.

WALKING AND WELLNESS - THE BIG DEAL ABOUT WALKING
From the beginning, Freeworld set out to create the ultimate walking shoe for foot recovery.
This was no whim. As diehard athletes and travelers, our team is not alone in suffering from the acute foot and joint discomfort that comes with pushing yourself. Sports injuries affect millions of Australians each year. For many, walking ends up being their best medicine.
Freeworld is the definitive walking shoe. It’s also a recovery shoe, engineered to address the top five inflammatory, muscular and fatigue-related foot problems of active people.
A couple of reasons we’ll never stop walking:
Walking helps reduce body fat, lower blood pressure and increase high-density lipoprotein
A brisk 30-minute walk is proven as an antidepressant for people of all ages
Walking increases blood flow to the brain and, in turn, thinking skills.
It makes for a greener planet, since more distance walked means less vehicle carbon emitted.
It’s low-impact, accessible, equipment-free and age-proof
Experience the benefits of our skin-soft, super-supportive, biomechanically designed walking shoes. Meet the team behind the inspiration, design and manufacture of a new way of being active.
Born in Australia and made to roam the world, Freeworld is the nearest thing you’ll get to foot nakedness – soft and bare yet supportive. Standing firmly behind the product is a team deeply committed to a more mindful way of living.
