The ENGINEERED JACQUARD MESH UPPER creates a softer feel against the foot while improving breathability. AMPLIFOAM cushioning improves durability and provides a more flexible feel at footstrike. Rearfoot GEL technology enhances impact absorption and offers a softer sensation at footstrike.

This product is suitable for the ROAD surface. It has a 10 mm HEEL DROP and weighs 260 g/ 7.7 oz. The shoe offers NEUTRAL SUPPORT and REGULAR CUSHIONING.

UNDERPRONATION, also known as supination, occurs when the outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, leading to shock in the lower leg. During push-off, individuals with this foot type experience pressure on their outer toes. Common injuries associated with underpronation include plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. Individuals with this condition typically have high arches.

In contrast, a NEUTRAL FOOT TYPE contacts the ground with the foot landing on the outside of the heel and then rolling inward to absorb impact. During push-off, the weight is evenly distributed across the front of the foot. While individuals with a neutral foot type are less likely to sustain injuries due to effective shock absorption, it is not impossible to get hurt.

OVERPRONATION occurs when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls excessively inward, transferring excess weight. During push-off, the pressure is primarily on the big toe and second toe. Common injuries linked to overpronation include shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. Individuals with low arches or flat feet are more prone to overpronation.

The machine washable upper is made of MESH, and the sole material is RUBBER. The closure type is LACE-UP.

In summary, this shoe is designed to provide a comfortable and supportive experience for individuals with a neutral foot type. The engineered jacquard mesh upper, AMPLIFOAM cushioning, and rearfoot GEL technology work together to enhance comfort, durability, and impact absorption, making it a suitable choice for road running.
