Description The engineered mesh upper improves breathability. The 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM feature helps create adaptive stability for a more balanced stride. The rearfoot PureGEL technology provides lightweight cushioning and softer landings. The shoe is designed to offer a stable ride with controlled impact and smooth transitions, guiding your foot to the best position to help prevent injury.

Foot Types The shoe is suitable for different foot types, including underpronation, neutral foot type, and overpronation. Underpronation occurs when the outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg, and pressure on the outer toes. This can lead to injuries such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain, and is often associated with high arches. Neutral foot type occurs when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, absorbing impact on the body, with even distribution of pressure from the front of the foot during push-off. This foot type provides effective shock absorption, minimizing the risk of injuries and is associated with normal-size arches. Overpronation occurs when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight, with pressure mainly on the big toe and second toe during push-off. This foot type can lead to injuries such as shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs, and is associated with low arches or flat feet.

Key Benefits The shoe offers different key benefits, including stability, comfort, energy return, and racing. The cushioning prioritizes soft landings and impact absorption, maintaining comfort on longer runs. It also provides a bouncy, trampoline-like feel in every step, with energy return that propels you forward. Additionally, the shoe offers a lightweight, responsive feel for a fast start and faster finish, helping conserve energy when every second counts.
