Cardio Fitness Shoes 500

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.

Studies have shown that fitness injuries are caused by 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.

All of our fitness shoes have a 4 mm 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.

Why is it important? Studies have shown that the need for flexion/extension is 1.7 times greater in fitness than in running. The movement of the ankle also differs depending on the fitness activity. These studies have demonstrated that the need for flexibility and torsion in the fitness shoe is specific and different to that required for running. This is why we develop multidirectional shoes for this activity and the movements it involves.

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

Why is it important? During fitness activities, the foot's main impact with the floor is at the front of the foot, whereas for running, the impact is at the heel. We design our shoes with optimal cushioning in the forefoot to protect your body from repeated impacts while stabilizing your foot for improved movement.

This model's grip 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 essential. A combination of sensory, mechanical and biomechanical tests has allowed us to determine the right level of grip and the part of your foot that is in contact with the floor as you pivot.

In our labs, our researchers analyze movements using sensors that precisely measure the human body's reactions. 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 enable us to offer high-tech products to everyone at a great price, with the sole objective of helping you enjoy your fitness activities in the best possible conditions.

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