Women's Fitness Shoes 100 - Black

Why wear fitness shoes?

Studies carried out at our Sportslab have shown that fitness and other sports involve a whole host of different movements. Movements like twists, repeated jumps, squats, lunges, etc. Our shoes are designed to help you perform these movements without risking an injury. Wearing suitable shoes reduces the risk of injury by 20% when compared with people who wear running shoes.

DROP: height difference between the front and back of your foot

All of our fitness shoes have a 4 mm drop. The feeling you get with this 4 mm drop is closer to that of your natural foot position (barefoot = no drop).

Are fitness shoes for indoor use only?

Cardio fitness is mainly done in gyms and/or at home. Our shoes have been designed for indoor use. The rubber is specially suited for indoor use as it is softer. Wearing these shoes outdoors on tarmac will cause premature wear to the rubber. The grip of our soles is tested based on the floors used in gyms or in your home, and rubber is designed to be more grippy when used in these places.

The bonus is no marks on the floor.

Our sole has been designed to leave no marks on the floor.

Multi-directional flexibility

The multi-directional flexibility refers to how well a shoe flexes and twists to support direction changes.

Studies have shown that we need 1.7 times more flex and extension during fitness activities than during running. The ankle's movement also varies depending on the kind of fitness or running you do. That's why we've created multi-directional shoes specifically for fitness.

Forefoot support

Why is it important? Good forefoot support - a must for fitness - helps you stay balanced when you go to change direction.

Forefoot cushioning

The cushioning is the ability of the shoe to cushion impacts and dampen vibrations.

The main point of impact between the foot and the floor during fitness activities is at the forefoot, whereas for running the impact is at the heel. We design our shoes with excellent cushioning at the forefoot to protect your body from repeated impacts while also stabilising your supporting leg to help you string movements together more smoothly.
