Supporting the upper materials a mesh shielding that promote anti-abrasion properties diminish rocks and roots from damaging the material. This coincides with the synthetic EVA overlays that engage a stabilised fit. This acts upon torsion with full flexibility while still maintaining its shape. Extra protection is given with a Integrated Toe and heel inserts in protective micro fibre form allows for a smooth impact, protecting the Achilles and flanges through the gait cycle.
Midsole – Morpho Dynamic technology
The midsole consists of full length Morpho Dynamic midsole technology with injected EVA wedge that allows the shoe to adapt to all types of terrains. It offers a high degree of cushioning to the underfoot, reducing forces pressed upon the foots platform and provides a better elasticity of the compound. These features assist a soft stride that propel you through transition for optimal cushioning and supports torsion rigidity and edging capability on rocky, uneven terrains.
