Snake Plate™
The Snake Plate™ is a forefoot plate that winds back and forth between the medial and lateral sides of the foot, providing superior flexible, push-through protection.
Tenacious™ Grip
A high abrasion-resistant sticky rubber designed to perform in the wet and dry for excellent traction and durability.
Terrain Harness™
Terrain Harness™ footwear is engineered for the medium-arched pronator to furnish stability on- and off-road.
X-Dome™
Very often, the key to footwear performance boils down to energy return. Rooted in the shoe's heel, X-Dome™ consists of two crisscrossed components forming the top of a dome that is neither rigid nor overly pliable.
