First off, apologies if this is too obvious a question. I do not normally translate from French (France), but am doing a favor for a colleague.
The phase comes from answers to a customer survey for a brand of shoes. I do not have more context than that, as this is not continuous text.
The original says "tourbillon de fraifeur", but I am wondering if it's not a misspelling for "tourbillon de fraîcheur". In which case, would something like "a breath of fresh air" be a good translation?
Thanks in advance for your help!

blast of fresh air
'un tourbillon' is literally a whirlwind or tornado but it's difficult to describe a pair of shoes in those terms!
However, you could use 'blast of fresh air' which I found used in connection with shoes in the following link.
