Active Recovery Slide
NAMU Phase
The Phase is built on SEED®, a zone-mapped footbed that reads the load profile of a foot at rest and shapes support around it. Four zones each handle a specific job: a cradled heel that keeps the foot centered, arch support tuned to the foot’s natural load points, and a wide forefoot that lets the toes spread out after a session. Across the footbed, textured Recovery Seed® zones stimulate the foot with every step — closer to a massage than a flat foam bed.
Underfoot sits a zero-drop platform with moderate cushioning, which puts the Phase between a barefoot sandal and a heavily padded recovery shoe: enough ground feel to keep the foot working, enough cushion to stay comfortable on hard surfaces through a full day. The whole slide is made from Soleic®, a 100% biodegradable TPU that is fully recyclable, and it is water-friendly and quick-drying for poolside and post-practice wear.

The SEED® Platform
Four zones, one recovery footbed.
SEED® is a single platform tuned in the lab and validated under athletes. Each of its four zones targets a different part of the foot as it recovers.
?Zoned CradleA shaped heel platform holds the foot in place after training, giving the body a stable base to recover from instead of letting the foot slide around a flat bed.Heel Zone?️Active SupportSupport is mapped to the arch and works with the natural load points of the foot, so the platform stays comfortable through a full day on your feet post-workout.Arch Zone↔️Wide SplayA wider forefoot shape gives the toes room to relax, spread, and settle naturally between sessions, rather than pinching them back into a narrow slide.Forefoot Zone?Return to SoilThe sole is made from Soleic® biodegradable polyurethane, chosen to reduce long-term material waste at the end of the slide’s life instead of adding to it.Sole Zone

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
They fit true to size for most people, with a generous toe box. If you wear half sizes or have wider feet, size up to the next full size.Both. The Phase is optimized for the post-activity transition window, but the zero drop, wide toe box, and moderate cushioning make it comfortable for extended wear and everyday use.Most people describe the textured Recovery Seed® zones as a massage with every step. If your feet have spent years in heavily cushioned shoes, you may notice the stimulation more at first.The Phase sits in the middle ground. Minimalist sandals give you ground feel but often lack cushioning on hard surfaces; the Phase adds moderate cushioning and textured stimulation while keeping that sensory engagement.Soleic®, a 100% biodegradable thermoplastic polyurethane that is fully recyclable and reduces microplastics in the environment. NAMU is a member of 1% for the Planet.Yes. They are water-friendly and quick-drying, which makes them well suited to poolside, post-practice, and all-weather use.Rinse with mild soap and water and air-dry in a shaded area. Avoid machine washing or prolonged sun exposure to protect the material.
