The multi-directional mesh material of the engineered mesh upper improves ventilation and stability. The Amplifoam midsole is engineered to maintain durability at softer densities, offering better flexibility, comfort, and platform adaptability ideal for natural running.

The GEL Technology cushioning provides excellent shock absorption. The product is designed for road use and has a 10mm heel drop. It weighs 223g/7.9 oz and provides neutral support with regular cushioning.

Underpronation, also known as supination, is characterized by the foot contacting the ground with an increased angle on the outside of the heel, leading to minimal pronation and shock to the lower leg. The push-off occurs with pressure on the outer toes. This can result in conditions such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain, and is associated with high arches.

In contrast, the neutral foot type lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, effectively absorbing impact on the body. The push-off experience is an even distribution from the front of the foot. While getting injured is less likely due to the effective shock absorption, it is not impossible.

Overpronation occurs when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. The push-off is experienced with pressure primarily on the big toe and second toe. This can lead to conditions like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs, and is associated with low arches or flat feet.

In summary, the product features cushioning, ventilation, and stability technologies designed to enhance the running experience. Understanding your foot type and pronation patterns can help determine the most suitable shoe for your needs and prevent potential injuries.
