Product Description The engineered jacquard mesh upper stretches with the foot's natural motion to help create a comfortable fit while improving airflow. The AMPLIFOAM cushioning helps to improve the durability of the shoe, while GEL Technology improves impact absorption and creates a softer feeling at footstrike. The shoe is designed for road use, has a heel drop of 10mm, and weighs 220g/7.7oz. It provides neutral support and regular cushioning.

Underpronation is when the outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg. Push-off results in pressure on the outer toes. Injuries from underpronation can include plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. This foot type is characterized by high arches.

A neutral foot type occurs when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, absorbing impact on the body. Push-off results in even distribution from the front of the foot. Injuries are less likely due to effective shock absorption. This foot type is characterized by normal-size arches.

Overpronation occurs when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. Push-off results in pressure mainly on the big toe and second toe. Injuries from overpronation can include shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. This foot type is characterized by low arches or flat feet.
