Vague hero copy

The hero headline 'Wildly Comfortable. Super Natural.' is abstract and doesn't directly address the visitor's intent to find comfortable, sustainable shoes, leaving them to infer the value proposition.

Problem

Current state
h1: Wildly Comfortable. Super Natural.; cta: SHOP MEN / SHOP WOMEN; notes: The subhead is absent; the hero relies on the brand name and abstract adjectives, not on the visitor's need for comfortable, sustainable footwear.
