About EVOLVE MVMT
What is EVOLVE MVMT?
EVOLVE MVMT is a smart wearable device worn on your ankle that analyzes your step quality and shock absorption performance while you walk or run. Designed by experts in movement and performance, it helps you improve how you move by giving you real-time feedback and data-driven insights. Whether your goal is to reduce your risk of injury, enhance your performance, or support weight loss, EVOLVE MVMT helps you move better and get more out of every step.

Why are you doing a Kickstarter?
Improve this to be clear and easy to digest: We launched V1 in 2023 which was a proof of concept - this version only focuses on walking, unlocking the significant benefits of optimising you shock absorption.
Jon Callaghan of True Ventures agreed that Kickstarter would be the best way to determine who our running market is and obtain early feedback on our product.
We obviously knew we were on the right track when someone of that calibre agrees that this is the best step for this product!
What is ‘light’ walking and why does it matter?
Light walking is the concept developed by EVOLVE MVMT that stimulates your muscles and nerves (neuromuscular system) to perform optimally - the way it is designed.
By lightly placing your heel, your muscles are primed to absorb force more readily and thus muscle activity is increased.
What does ‘shock absorption’ mean?
Every time you strike your foot, there's a force transmitted from your heel through your ankle joint, shin, knee joint, thigh bone, hip joint, pelvis and spine. At the same time, body weight from upper body and head is providing force in the opposite direction (down). All of this contributes to great forces transmitted through joints.
As force is transmitted up the leg, if muscles aren't working optimally, you transfer more force into the joints leading to wear and tear on your body and injury
Optimize your neuromuscular function to offload the joints, utilizing the muscles as a reverse spring along with stabilizing the joint
Why don't I naturally optimize my walking/running style?
Like any skill, walking needs to be refined over time to improve. Many people assume their walking style is efficient, but that’s not always the case—especially if you’ve had an injury. Injuries often lead to subtle compensations in your movement that can go unnoticed. For example, have you ever felt like your knee or hip just hasn’t felt the same after an injury? That’s your body adapting—but not always in the best way.
Footwear is another major factor. Modern shock-absorbing shoes can actually reduce your body’s ability to absorb impact naturally. Just like wearing a back brace too often can weaken your core muscles, overly supportive shoes can lead to underuse of your body’s own shock-absorbing muscles. Over time, this makes your movement less efficient and may increase your risk of injury.
There’s also an evolutionary angle. Human physiology takes tens of thousands—sometimes millions—of years to adapt. But hard man-made surfaces like concrete and bitumen have only been around for a few thousand years. If your ancestors didn’t evolve in rocky or hard terrain, your body may not be naturally adapted to these modern surfaces, making efficient shock absorption even more important.

How does EVOLVE MVMT work?
EVOLVE MVMT has a sensor that is placed on the inside of you ankle. From this point the sensor can detect the movement of your bone and with the help of algorithms determine the performance of your shock absorption.
This then translates to a step score (out of ten to one decimal place) which can be used as feedback, either live or post-session.
This feedback is called bio-feedback and is very commonly used in medicine to help patients improve during rehab or elite athletes during training to optimize performance.
Which frequency does EVOLVE MVMT use?
It uses Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy (2.4 GHz). EVOLVE MVMT will not receive interference from home alarms, cell phones or other electronics.
Will the radio waves generated from the unit harm me?
Bluetooth Low Energy is very commonly used in wireless connections these days. There is no research to show that the BLE connections can cause harm.
The World health Organisation states that there is no link between bluetooth and health problems such as cancer.
The radio waves generated from the device are more than twenty times below that of the cellphones that are carried in our pockets all day.
Using EVOLVE MVMT
Caring for my product?
The sensors are splash-proof, but not waterproof—so please avoid submerging them in water or wearing them in heavy rain.
The straps, however, are machine washable for easy cleaning.
While the devices are built to be robust for walking and running, we recommend handling them with care. They’re not designed to be droppe, thrown, or used in environments outside of normal movement activities.
How do I fit the EVOLVE MVMT unit on my ankle?
Head to our User Guide to learn about using EVOLVE MVMT. There is a video that specifically teaches you how to correctly fit the device on your ankle.
What is a baseline test and why is it important?
Baseline tests allow you to track how your walking or running technique changes over time—regardless of changes to your lifestyle, footwear, or training. By completing the test in the same location and under consistent conditions (e.g., barefoot on the same surface), you get a reliable reference point to measure your progress and improvements accurately.
How do I complete a baseline test?

What comes when I purchase EVOLVE MVMT?
- Bespoke packaging
- 1 sensor
- 1 stap
- 1 charger
- 1 charging cable
- 1 instruction booklet
Plus 1 bonus pathway to the future of movement ;)
What do the scores mean in the EVOLVE MVMT app?
High numbers are good quality performance.
Low numbers are poor performance.
Most people start at high 4’s to 5’s.
The strap feels tight on my ankle, is this ok?
Designed to loosen to your ankle size over time. This will leave a subtle and non-permanent imprint on the skin. It needs to have a specific tightness to be accurate.
Is wifi required to use the EVOLVE MVMT unit and app?
No, EVOLE MVMT uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
