In the midsole area, we find dual density Phylon foam. A firm cage covers a low-density core that provides soft and resilient cushioning. The Dynamic Support platform ensures that there is a smooth transition from heel to toe during foot movement. This also helps in keeping the pronation to the minimum. At the bottom of the heel area, there is a decoupled crash pad. This reduces over pronation and shock impact. Get ready to experience a very comfortable ride with these shoes.
