Men's Dynamic Running Shoes Kiprun KD500 - Blue Black Red

DROP 8 MM

The height difference between the back and front of the sole is 8 mm.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CUSHIONING

To give you optimal comfort and performance when running, we concentrated our attention on the sole, which features 2 concepts:

- K-Ring: a ring located in the heel to improve cushioning at the rear and spread the shock wave in order to provide effective protection for the body: joints, back, knees, etc.

- Kalensole: improves cushioning by 34% and energy return by 25% when compared with conventional foam and lasts up to 600 miles.

THE COMFORT OF THE KD PLUS

In order to run regularly over long distances, foot comfort is of the utmost importance.

So, we tried to improve the level of comfort with the following:

- an ultra comfortable 'half-slipper' upper

- enhanced cushioning at the forefoot thanks to a thicker sole

- a revised forefoot area

- a seamless, single piece of fabric to reduce friction

REBOUND WITH EACH STRIDE

So that you can make progress and improve your personal best times from 6 miles to marathon distance, the KIPRUN KD PLUS improves propulsion (acceleration) with each stride thanks to the sole geometry combined with the Kalensole foam.

WHY CHOOSE A LIGHTWEIGHT SHOE?

The research and development studies have shown that a lighter product improves running performance by reducing the consumption of energy.

Without compromising on comfort and durability, the design of the KD PLUS uses lighter materials and an optimized sole design.

Result: The KIPRUN KD PLUS shoe is 4% lighter than the KIPRUN FAST.

Weight: 9.4 oz in size 10 (EU 43.5).

ADAPTED TO ALL TYPES OF STRIDES

Thanks to the exclusive K-ONLY technology and denser foam located under the first metatarsal, you no longer need to know your stride type: over-pronator, under-pronator or neutral)!

A 6-month study conducted with the Luxembourg Institute of Health* showed that the K-Only concept suits all strides.

The key figures of the study:

- 372 runners

- over 12,558 training sessions

- 12,094 hours of running

- 72,528 miles covered

EXCELLENT ROAD-HOLDING ABILITY ON WET ROADS AND BENDS

Our sole was designed like a car tire for running efficiently without losing control, even when it is raining.

The new sole geometry combined with a new rubber component gives the KIPRUN KD PLUS excellent grip on wet ground, even when running at top speed.
