Zero Drop
Flat cushioning. The Zero Drop platform offers total cushioning and places the heel and forefoot at the same distance from the ground. This natural balance helps keep the feet, back, and body posture aligned to minimize shocks. Additionally, the Achilles tendon and lower calf muscles, weakened by wearing running shoes with elevated heels, are strengthened.

GaiterTrap
Self-gripping strap that allows for easy attachment of the gaiters to prevent debris from forming under the shoe.
