Under the hood

• Biomorphic Fit Upper

  Stretchy material strategically placed on the upper which reduces bunching when the shoe moves reducing the risk of blisters and irritation.

• Anti-Gravel Tongue

  The Anti-Gravel Tongue is a special tongue construction that prevents clay and gravel from entering the shoe.

• Rearfoot GEL

  Silicone-based material placed in critical areas of the sole which dampens shock when the foot hits the ground allowing for a smooth movement through the step and reducing the risk of injury. Rearfoot GEL provides cushioning in all directions, absorbs impact forces and helps to stabilise the foot during heel contact.

• Forefoot GEL

  Silicone-based material placed in critical areas of the sole which dampens shock when the foot hits the ground allowing for a smooth movement through the step and reducing the risk of injury.
