Adidas 09SMS Women Geisha Low shoes

Description of Adidas shoes

1984 was a good year to be an ankle.

That's the year the first Adidas 09 SMS Shoes hit the shelves and revolutionized ankle protection.

Believe it or not, people strapped themselves into car seatbelts for decades before ever thinking to offer the same sort of protection to their ankles.

The adidas shoes, with its innovative hook and loop ankle strap and external heel counter, changed all that for the better, though.

Ankles everywhere were overjoyed.

However, their efforts to pass a law requiring the crisscross strap that protects the ankle on both sides to be included on all future shoe models failed, due to poor organization and the fact that ankles are not allowed to vote.

The lack of a legal mandate shouldn't stop you from providing your ankle with the best possible support and protection available today.

Don't hold your breath waiting for ankle airbags.
