Filters
- Running: Designed for running or walking, with a breathable upper and shock absorption technologies.
- Training: Designed for training, they offer better grip and traction for lateral movements, but with less shock absorption compared to running shoes.
- Trail: Designed for running on rough roads and natural trails.
- Crossfit: Designed to support the various activities of a crossfit program.
- Spikes: Track shoes with spikes, for use on specific terrain.
- GORE-TEX Membrane: Lightweight and waterproof membrane that removes moisture and allows the foot to breathe.
- Water Repellent Upper Body: Investment in the top part that repels light rain.
- Memory Foam: Midsole that adapts to the foot for pressure distribution and reduced fatigue.
- Carbon Plate: Extremely stiff and lightweight carbon fiber plate, for a feeling of continuous propulsion, increased energy efficiency, improved stability, and reduced fatigue over long distances. Suitable mainly for fast tempo runs.
- Narrow: Designed for a narrower foot, offering a more snug fit and stability.
- Wide: Designed for a wider foot, with more room in the toes for a more comfortable fit.
- Nike Air Zoom: Nike Air unit with compressed air and a thin layer of fibers, for dynamic low-profile responsive cushioning.
- Nike ZoomX: Nike's top foam offers maximum energy return and cushioning.
- adidas Boost: Adidas' top foam offers unmatched energy return and shock absorption.
- ASICS Gel: ASICS' most well-known technology provides excellent shock absorption and a soft feel.
- PUMA Nitro: Top-performance foam for maximum responsiveness in an ultra-lightweight package.
- FILA Nanobionic: Foam technology for lightweight walking and comfortable feet.
- Neutral: For people with a neutral foot strike while walking/running.
- Stability/Enhanced: For people with overpronation (when the arch “collapses” inward while walking or running), they provide enhanced support on the inner side of the arch to keep the foot in a straight line.
- It is the height difference (in millimeters) between the heel and the front part of the shoe, and it mainly applies to running shoes.
- Zero Drop (0mm): The heel and toes are at exactly the same height from the ground to simulate barefoot running. Ideal for runners seeking a completely natural running mechanism.
- Low Drop (1−4mm): Minimal height difference. Ideal for fast tempo race runners, experienced runners with good technique, and Trail Running athletes who want a low center of gravity in the mountains so their ankle doesn’t twist.
- Medium Drop (5−8mm): Neutral transition. Ideal for most modern runners, they offer a balance between natural foot movement and protection for the Achilles/calf.
- High Drop (9−14mm): Highly elevated heel. Ideal for runners who land on their heels first (heel strikers), beginner runners, and people with sensitivity or injuries in the Achilles tendon and calf.
