Technologies
-
Curved Sole Profile
- Natural Roll: Specifically designed with a low drop, the midsole's curved profile under the metas promotes an exceptional natural roll.
- Advantage: Adapts to the runner's natural morphology and encourages a continuous and efficient stride, from impact to push-off.
-
Oversize
Up to 2.5 times more EVA volume in the interface compared to standard running shoes. Exceptional shock absorption and a comfortable underfoot feel. This oversized design allows for a natural stride from the smoothest roads to the roughest trails.
-
Active Foot Frame
The unique design of the Active Foot Frame midsole geometry allows the foot to sink deeply into the shoe's midsole.

Vibram Litebase Megagrip
Vibram Litebase Megagrip is an innovative technology designed to significantly reduce the weight of the sole by decreasing the thickness of the rubber, while maintaining the same performance.
Vibram Litebase Megagrip allows for a reduction of about 40 to 50% in thickness, from 1.7 mm to 0.5 / 0.9 mm, depending on the type of sole, resulting in a reduction in tread weight of 25 to 30%.
This reduction in thickness does not affect the performance of the sole nor the risk of laceration. The result is a very lightweight sole with patterns identical to those of a traditional Vibram Megagrip sole, and thus with the same characteristics of traction, durability, and wear resistance.

PROFLY+
Construction of the PROFLY+ midsole using our lightest and most responsive foam underfoot and an EVA rubberized outsole. Nitrogen is injected into the EVA for increased responsiveness.
