DECEMBER KIT
NEW RELEASE SHOES
Putting your next trainers through their paces
|| The best feature of these shoes is the Wrap360 lacing system, developed with BOA, which enables you to customise the fit during the run. I found this so useful. Being able to tighten the forefoot and heel with a click turn is effortless ||

The fit
I found the fit true to size, with a roomy toe box. With a very specific BOA lacing system you are able to make the whole shoe shrink or expand to give you a made-to-order fit for your foot size. I’ve never run with this type of lacing technology and found the fit and security it gave me outstanding.
The comfort
Comfort-wise, they were as rigid as they needed to be for the terrain you run on through winter trails, without my feet feeling battered at the end of a run.
Who and what they’re for
This trail shoe is designed for short- to medium-length runs on rough and uneven trails, so they are a great choice for our colder months in the UK. There is also a model for softer trails, which would equate to more of a summer trail run where you’re not battling mud or worse.
