Glossary

The terms Kendrick uses and what they refer to.

Axis: The vertical line around which the body organises. When the axis is stable, movement is clean.
Alignment: The correct stacking of head, ribcage, and pelvis. Alignment reduces muscular compensation.
Stance: How the foot contacts the ground. A stable stance allows effortless posture.
Balance: The distribution of weight between heel and forefoot. Balance determines whether the ankle works or rests.
Structural heel: A heel designed to reposition posture, not merely elongate the leg. The base is wider, the placement centred.
Sculpted heel: A heel whose shape combines mechanical stability with visual intention. The geometry serves both the body and the line.
Silhouette line: The visible outline of the shoe when worn. At Kendrick, the silhouette line is the result of structure — not the other way around.
