Technology:

All Grounds:
- Versatile soles, ideal for all types of terrain including stone, scree, grass, moss and mud. Ideal for running either in high humidity or on dry ground. Incorporates the Impact Brake System.

- The Frixion range uses 5 custom formulated compounds from mountain running to climbing shoes.

Eva - Injected:
- Highe degree of cushoning and high elasticity of the fabric. These features assist “push off” during the propulsion phase while running, making these models who use injected midsoles, ideal for use on off-road trails. Furthermore, EVA Injected midsole drastically reduce the “squash” effect of the EVA over time, allowing the product to mantain the same features for its entire duration.

High Volume:
- Comfortable shoe, ideal for training and long distance running.
