From New York via Portugal, the First Men’s Dress Shoe Designed for Recovery
Deming Recovery is redefining men’s footwear with the first handcrafted recovery dress shoe on the market—engineered to deliver both performance and style without compromise.
We all know what it’s like to pack for a trip and realize you’ve brought the wrong shoes. And by ‘wrong shoes,’ we mean those that offer neither support nor style. What works at home, when you’re jumping in and out of a car or just going down the road to get to where you’re going, may not work at 30,000 feet in the sky or when trying to navigate a new city. And what about the classic mistake we’ve all made: traveling to a wedding or convention with new shoes! Incorrect footwear can exacerbate issues if you’re prone to back problems, have foot issues, or are an athlete.
Founded by seasoned fashion leaders and developed in collaboration with leading foot health experts, podiatrists, and orthopedic surgeons, Deming integrates its proprietary Deep Recovery™ technology to provide continuous muscle, joint, and alignment support throughout the day—seamlessly carrying you from commute, to boardroom, to dinner, and everywhere in between. If you’re wondering what “deep recovery” in a shoe means, it’s a formulation of engineering that provides arch support, cushioning, non-slip safety, and a design suitable for all-day wear.
Deming was co-founded by New York husband-and-wife team Reshma and Vijay Shamdasani. Reshma first discovered the restorative benefits of recovery footwear while training for the NYC Marathon and balancing the demands of a busy New York City life. When Vijay was recovering from an injury and living in recovery slides, the couple realized that nothing on the market looked or felt refined enough for how he wanted to present himself in the world. Determined to change that, they combined their industry expertise with insights from leading physicians, engineers, and master artisans to completely reimagine what recovery footwear could be.
Handmade in Portugal by European artisans, each pair seamlessly blends innovation with premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship to ensure exceptional durability, unparalleled comfort, and a refined design that echoes classic footwear archetypes.
The result is the first all-day recovery dress shoe: an innovative blend of orthopedic support, proprietary Deep Recovery™ technology, and timeless European craftsmanship. The patent-pending Deep Recovery™ technology is designed to absorb impact, boost circulation, and support alignment as you move—all seamlessly integrated into a silhouette made for a range of daily routines and duties.
There are three main styles of Deming shoes, which together address any social occasion: a smart lace-up Oxford, a casual suede loafer, and a low-profile sneaker.
