TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS

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 such as twists, skaters, tuck jumps, squats and lunges all come into play. Unlike running, which uses mainly linear movements, fitness activities involve hardly any linear movements. Our shoes are all designed to help you perform these movements without the risk of getting injured.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO TRAIN WITH THE RIGHT SHOES? Safety

Studies have shown that injuries caused by doing fitness are due to inappropriate footwear. 86% of people who get injured doing fitness wear running shoes. Our studies have proven that people doing fitness who don't use the right shoes have a higher risk of injury than people who wear specific fitness shoes. This all shows the importance of creating shoes that are designed especially for fitness activities.

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

All of our fitness shoes have a 4mm drop.
This 4 mm drop means that you feel closer to your natural foot position (barefoot = no drop)
It's important to bear in mind that, if you're used to wearing shoes with too much drop, such as high heels, it will take some time to get used to your new shoes.

Multi-directional flexibility

Why is it important?
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. These studies have demonstrated that the need for flexibility and torsion in a fitness shoe is specific and different to that required for running. This is why we design multi-directional shoes specifically for fitness and its movements.

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

Why is it important?
The main place of impact between the foot and the floor during fitness activities is at the front of the foot, whereas for running the impact takes place 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.

Grip and rotation

The grip on this model lets you change direction quickly and easily, while the pivot zone has less grip so you can turn and spin easily without putting pressure on your joints.
Finding a balance between these two needs is therefore essential. A combination of sensory, mechanical and biomechanical tests has allowed us to determine the right level of grip and which part of your foot is in contact with the floor as you pivot.

HOW DO WE PROVE IT? Product tests

In our labs, our researchers analyse movements using sensors that precisely measure the responses of the human body. But because there's nothing like trying things out in real life, we also test all of our fitness products in the gyms where they will actually be used.
These tests allow us to offer high-tech products to everyone at great prices, with the sole objective of helping you enjoy your sport in the best possible conditions.

Non-marking

The sole is specially designed not to leave black marks on the floor.

CAN YOU RUN ON A TREADMILL WITH THESE FITNESS SHOES?

Our fitness shoes were specially designed for cardio fitness activities. They can also be used for limited treadmill running.
If you want to warm up/cool down before/after a session on a treadmill, these shoes are just what you need. However if your sole exercise is running on a treadmill or outdoors, for safety reasons it is highly recommended that you wear shoes designed for running.

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 the home, and rubber is designed to be more grippy when used in these places.
