The Running Track / Road

The Running Track / Road

Running is repetition: thousands of foot strikes, each one a small impact your legs have to absorb. That is the opposite of what a lifting shoe is designed to do, and the reason cushioned running shoes exist.

What a running shoe is built for

  • 78% kinetic energy return on toe-off
  • Engineered for sub-threshold distance

Responsive foam compresses on landing and gives energy back at toe-off, which takes load off the knees and ankles over a long session. A softer, rockered platform keeps the stride smooth at tempo pace.

Keep this pair for road and track sessions, and save the firmer shoes for the rack.
