Product Details

Best For:

Surface: Road, Gyms, Flats
Category: Neutral Cushioned - Intended for runners who have a higher, more stable arch that does not pronate excessively(roll inwards) or may even supinate(roll outwards). Neutral Cushioned shoes offer very little or no structure or pronation support and are generally more flexible than stability shoes. Runners who require a neutral shoe tend to notice more excessive wear on the lateral(outside) side of the soles of their running shoes. Neutral shoes can vary from lightweight and minimal cushioning to maximum levels of cushioning depending on the needs and preferences of the runner. Runners with high/stable arches tend to notice pain on the outside(lateral side) of their shins and knees and may also battle plantar fasciitis if not wearing a neutral cushioned shoe.

Benefits Include:

UPPER:

Single layer engineered mesh upper offers breathability across forefoot

Gusseted tongue prevents migration across the instep

MIDSOLE:

Light and resilient PROFLY X foam sits above the carbon fiber plate while rubberized foam sits below the plate
