The name Sazzi is derived from the Navajo word "Anasazi", which describes the ancient Puebloan people from the American Southwest. The Anasazi used their cobbling skills to weave Yucca fiber sandals with multiple toe posts thus providing the foundation and inspiration for Sazzi unique footwear collection.
Sazzi's technology is mean to be strong and powerful yet light and agile. Their revolutionary sandal innovation, Toe Motion Footwear, utilizes multiple toe posts in combination with separate toe platforms. Introducing the Decimal and Digit. With the Decimal, meaning 'ten', all ten toes are independently separated from another and free to move using the foot naturally - four toe posts between five toes on each foot as internal foot controls. The Decimal is an ideal sandal for active people seeking performance, freedom, and comfort within an open heel sandal. Heel-to-toe drop is 0mm (zero drop).
The Digit, meaning' one', is their advanced sport sandal, has a single, individual articulating big toe platform that's separated in the remaining toes providing each foot two tactile surfaces to feel more balance and proprioception. Also features a convertible sport sandal ankle strap. Heel-to-toe drop is 3mm.
Both models come with an embedded Dura Shank that adds stability and resilience and it is made from 100% recyclable PLUSfoam that is non-absorbent, non-microbial, and non-marking - superior traction on both wet and dry surfaces.
Both models will be available in September from Sazzi using the Digit at $100 (MSRP) and Decimal at $80 (MSRP). Full review will be available on Minimalist Running Shoes within the not too distant future.
