A word from the product manager
We have reviewed the design of these children's shoes. It is a linerless shoe, without slipper, which makes it possible to have to make only one tightening: it's the most practical for children and their parents. For greater comfort, we've also lightened the shoe.
On the 500 model, we wanted more performance for the shoe because from 8/10 years it is no longer rare to find children who ride fast and well :-)
CABLE clamping system LOCK
Cable Lock: very powerful fastening wheel with cable.
Simply turn the wheel to tighten. Effortlessly, you powerfully tighten your shoe. A 1/4 turn in the opposite direction and the system is opened, making it easy to open up its tongue.
Shoe flex/stiffness
The flex of the INDY 500 is medium.
It responds to people who hold a curve with a lot of speed (need a stiff shoe) but it also allows them to be responsive during small turns or surprise bumps that require a rapid flexion-extension of the legs.
Compared with the INDY 300, both flex and heel support have been boosted.
"Ergonomic Heel Pad" malleolus foam
The ankle foam fills the hollow below and behind the ankle to wedge the heel in place.
The level 2 liner contains a foam made in an exclusive Wed'ze material and shape:
- the shape was based on an average of 40 foot scans. It is perfect for holding the foot tightly and adapts to everyone
- the material: a soft but firm elastomer foam.
You can feel the support as soon as you slip your feet inside. And when you're riding, you'll feel no hard areas.
Outsole: traction, grip, cushioning and thermal insulation
Our Ultralight sole is only in EVA.
EVA is a very light material with 80% air. This formulation is designed to resist abrasion while keeping its damping properties. It is naturally very insulating and protects against the cold rising from the ground.
We designed in large studs to offer you very good grip. They are spaced quite far apart to prevent snow from getting stuck.
