I’m David, founder of DMOVA.
For years I lived with a revolving door of foot aches, tight calves, sore knees and a stiff lower back. I did what everyone does—more cushioning, more arch support, more “technology.” The more my shoes did the work for me, the weaker my feet felt. I stopped running, I dreaded long walks, and I caught myself slouching at my desk just to avoid the discomfort.
Out of frustration, I went back to basics. I learned that feet are meant to move, splay, and flex—not be propped up all day. I switched to thin, flexible shoes, started a slow transition, and focused on strength from the ground up. Within weeks my balance felt steadier; over months my posture opened up and the daily nagging aches faded. Friends noticed, tried my odd-looking prototypes, and felt the same difference.
That’s how DMOVA was born: footwear that lets your feet actually work.
