Finally no pain!
Nine hours on a hard shop floor, five days a week. I've spent a fortune on cushioned trainers, gel insoles, all of it - burning feet by lunchtime, every time. I nearly didn't buy these because I'd been let down so many times, but the money-back guarantee made me think why not. By week four I was going to the gym after work for the first time in months.

I work 12-hour shifts on a hospital ward. Concrete floors all day. Every pair I've tried has given up on me by about hour six. These are the first shoes where I've got to the end of a shift and not immediately kicked them off. My feet aren't burning. They're just... fine. I didn't think that was possible anymore.

I was worried they'd look too sporty or too 'barefoot' for school. They don't. They look like normal trainers. I've had two colleagues ask me where I got them and neither of them realised they were anything different. That was the whole point for me

First couple of days my calves were a bit achy, which I wasn't expecting. But I followed the guide that came with them - started with a few hours, built up gradually and by week two it felt completely normal. By week four I couldn't go back to my old shoes. They felt like bricks.

I'm between sizes in basically everything, so I was nervous about ordering online. Went with the larger size as the size guide suggested. Fitted perfectly. But honestly, the free size swap took the pressure off - such a fantastic idea, great company!

I've bought 'wide fit' shoes before and the problem was always the same - wide everywhere, so the heel flopped around while my toes were still tight. however with these the front is wide where my foot is wide and the heel actually grips. First pair I haven't had to stuff tissue paper into the heel.

I've probably spent £300 in the last two years trying to find comfortable work shoes. Skechers, Clarks wide fit, two different insoles, compression socks. None of them lasted more than a couple of months before the same pain came back. These have been going strong for three months and I've stopped buying insoles. They've paid for themselves.

The biggest difference isn't even at work. It's when I get home. I used to come in, sit on the sofa, and basically not move until bed. Now I'm actually cooking dinner, walking the dog, doing things with my evening instead of just recovering from the day. My partner noticed before I did.

I ordered the wrong size and fully expected the usual nightmare - print a label, pay for postage, wait three weeks for a refund. Instead I emailed them, they sent the right size the next day, and they just requested I donate the old pair to charity, which I am doing. Only took four days to receive the new pair! That's never happened to me with any shoe brand. A well deserved 5 stars!

I almost didn't buy these. I've been let down so many times that I'd basically accepted sore feet as part of the job. My sister talked me into it because of the money-back guarantee. I'm three weeks in and I genuinely cannot believe the difference. I keep waiting for the catch and it hasn't come.

I didn't expect anything other than less foot pain. What I wasn't expecting was my knee ache getting better. I'd had it for about two years, just a dull ache going up stairs. After about six weeks in these it was noticeably less. I'm not saying the shoes fixed my knee. But something changed and the shoes are the only thing I did differently.
THE REAL REASON YOUR FEET HURT It's Not You. It's The Shape of Your Shoe.
It's not you. It's the shoe.
Every conventional shoe is built on a mould that tapers toward the front. Your foot is the opposite.
Your foot fans out widest at the toes.
Every step you take in regular shoes pushes your toes into the narrow part.
Over thousands of steps per shift, the pressure builds.
The muscles in your feet are meant to spread and grip with every step. Instead, they're fighting the wall of the shoe.
It only gets worse over time.
The longer you spend in tapered shoes, the more your foot adapts to the wrong shape. The muscles weaken. The toes crowd together. What started as afternoon soreness becomes all-day pain.
Cushioning doesn't fix this, it just hides it for a few hours.
Sizing up doesn't fix it either, a bigger shoe made on the same tapered mould is still the wrong shape. It just slips at the heel while your toes are still compressed.
Insoles don't fix it, they take up the little room your toes had left.
The problem was never about softness, or size, or support. It was about shape.
The shoe is shaped like a triangle. Your foot is shaped like a fan.
That mismatch is what everything else has been trying to patch over.
HOW TO WEAR YOUR NATIVS
Your feet need time to adjust. Here's how to break them in.
Days 1–3
Start At Home
Wear them around the house for a few hours a day.
Keep the transition insole in for extra cushioning while your feet adjust.
Week 1
Try A Half Day
Wear them for a half shift or a few hours of errands. Your calves and arches may feel more engaged, that's your foot muscles waking up.
Weeks 2–3
Build To A Full Shift
Extend to a full workday. If your feet feel tired, alternate with your old shoes for a day or two. There's no rush.
Week 4+
Go Full Nativ
Once your feet are comfortable through a full shift, try removing the transition insole for an even closer ground feel. Only when you're ready.
Listen to your feet. Everyone adjusts at their own pace.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you're probably wondering - Answered
How does Pawsora work?
+
Pawsora is a plug-in pheromone diffuser. It gently heats an imitation of the calming pheromone mother dogs produce at birth, releasing it into the surrounding air as a vapour.
No digestion, no sedation, no side effects. Just a natural bodily reaction hardwired into all dogs.
Plug it in 24 to 48 hours before an anticipated stressor, whether that's bonfire night, a house move, or a change in routine. The pheromone needs time to reach a stable concentration in the room.
One refill covers 650 square feet for up to 30 days.
Where should I place it?
+
Pawsora is most effective when used in rooms where your dog spends most of its time.
Watch where your dog goes when they’re anxious. That’s where the diffuser belongs.
Don’t block the airflow. Warm air carrying the pheromone rises and circulates - anything blocking that path reduces coverage.
Keep the diffuser in an open wall socket, away from furniture, curtains, and corners. Ideally in an open area.
For larger homes or open-plan living spaces, a single diffuser might not cover every area your dog uses. Some owners find that one diffuser in the main living area and another near the dog’s sleeping spot gives more consistent results.
Each refill pack lasts around 30 days, so running two diffusers simply means doubling your refill schedule.
How long will it take to see results?
+
Most owners report seeing their dog become calmer and more relaxed within 30 days of continuous use. This number can vary between breed and pooch, some even noting considerable changes within 24 hours.
For best results, allow at least 24 to 48 hours before a stressful situation and commit to a full 30-day trial before deciding whether it’s effective for your dog.
What are the ingredients?
+
Pheromones are a mixture of fatty acids. Pawsora also contains a solvent, which helps the pheromones diffuse into the air and spread evenly.
Does it actually work?
+
Yes, and the evidence goes beyond anecdote.
The Kim et al. (2010) double-blinded, placebo-controlled study in the Canadian Veterinary Journal found statistically significant improvements in three separate stress behaviours: elimination problems, excessive licking, and pacing.
The Riddell et al. (2021) study confirmed these effects at a hormonal level, documenting 68 to 82 per cent reductions in stress hormones in treated canids. DAP doesn’t work for every dog or every situation, but the clinical evidence for separation-related behaviours is solid.
Is this safe for my dog?
+
DAP is considered safe for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes.
The Kim et al. (2010) study explicitly reported zero toxicities or side effects in any treated animal.
Because the pheromone works through the vomeronasal organ rather than the bloodstream, there’s no risk of drug interactions, overdose, or systemic side effects.
Pregnant dogs, puppies, and dogs on existing medication can all be exposed to DAP without concern.
If your dog has a diagnosed anxiety disorder, speak to your vet about whether DAP alone is sufficient or whether it should complement other treatments.
Should I unplug the diffuser at night?
+
To keep the good vibes flowing, you should keep your diffuser plugged in at all times. If you notice your diffuser collecting dust, please unplug and follow the cleaning instructions in the user manual found in every box
How often should I replace the diffuser?
+
We recommend replacing the refill vial every 30 days or when the liquid runs out. The plug-in unit should be replaced after 6 months of use or after you have used four refill vials (whichever comes first!)
Will I smell it?
+
Dog appeasing pheromones are species-specific - it’s detected exclusively by the canine vomeronasal organ. Humans don’t have a functional vomeronasal organ, so Pawsora is completely undetectable to us: no smell, no physiological effect, nothing.
