Features of the Olympus 6 shoe
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.
The FootShape toe box allows the toes to spread naturally and comfortably while keeping the big toe straight. This improves stability and increases the propulsion strength of the toes, optimizing running performance.
Advantages:
- The big toe remains straight, providing greater stability and increased propulsion strength.
- The toes can spread naturally and comfortably.
- The foot naturally compensates for any excessive pronation.
Internal grooves incorporated into the midsole. By promoting multi-dimensional flexibility, they allow the feet to be more responsive, enhancing speed and performance. This technology reduces the weight of the shoe for an improved running experience in every way.
Self-gripping strap that allows for easy attachment of the gaiters to prevent debris from forming under the shoe.
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.
The Vibram MEGAGRIP sole provides excellent grip properties on all types of terrain, especially on slippery surfaces, and high durability.
