A soft, padded tongue and traditional lacing system contribute to a secure, comfortable fit, and a premium insole adds step-in comfort.

Design and comfort

The shoe’s design centers on stable, calm transitions with a midsole that blends cushioning and responsiveness. Its lighter weight for a stability trainer aids daily training, while the Wave Construction distributes load evenly across the foot to help reduce fatigue during longer sessions. The upper’s perforations promote air flow to keep feet cool, and the interior aims to minimize chafing with a soft, padded tongue and secure midfoot lockdown.
