Technologies

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.

Balanced Cushioning

The Balanced Cushioning platform positions the heel and forefoot at the same height from the ground. This natural base helps to properly align the body, maintain better form, and promote low-impact ground contact.

Vibram Megagrip

The Vibram MEGAGRIP sole provides excellent grip properties on all types of terrain, especially on slippery surfaces, and high durability.

Vibram Litebase

Vibram Litebase 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 allows for a reduction of approximately 40 to 50% in thickness, from 1.7 mm to 0.5 / 0.9 mm, depending on the type of sole, resulting in a weight reduction of the tread from 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 identical patterns to those of a traditional Vibram sole and thus the same characteristics of traction, durability, and wear resistance.

FootShape Medium Fit / Standard Fit

Shape and design halfway between a classic fit and a tailored fit.

Plaque carbone Carbitex

Thanks to dynamic flexibility, Carbitex carbon fiber plates offer unique advantages, notably by increasing rigidity when you accelerate and maintaining their flexibility when you walk. By dynamically increasing rigidity in response to flexion, you gain more power and efficiency when you need it, and greater freedom of movement when you walk.
