For many years, researchers from around the world
have been studying shoe cushioning without knowing whether there was actually a link between shoes' mechanical cushioning properties, and injuries.
In 2018, Decathlon decided to conduct a study with
848 participants and 27,761 running sessions, in partnership
with the LIH (Luxembourg Institute of Health).

It was one of the largest studies in the world.

Confirming the link between cushioning and injuries.In this study, two cushioning 
conditions were tested: A flexible shoe (61 N/mm) against a 
stiff shoe (95 N/mm). The result of this study 
speaks for itself: 25% fewer runners injured with the flexible shoe.
Based on this study, the Flow series’ flexible cushioning was created, focusing on the preference index of soft cushioning.

What was the purpose of the study?

Drop is the difference between the height of the shoe’s heel and forefoot. Rather than a drop of 10 mm (2/5"), the Jogflow 500.1 Running Shoes have a drop of 4 mm (1/5"). The goal Runners will use their forefoot to help them adopt a more natural stride and reduce the risk of injury.

The boots’ thermal insulation when stationary (static -11°C) and when walking (dynamic -20°C) is based on field and lab tests conducted with users. This gives you an accurate measure of the temperature at which these boots protect you. The comfort temperature ratings for your boots are displayed. We take into account that people perceive the cold differently.

Are my boots warm enough for winter hikes?

Your boots have a membrane to guarantee waterproofing and breathability. A membrane is a very fine component (5 to 25 micrometres) affixed to the inside of a fabric that prevents water from entering but allows moisture to escape.

How do my boots protect me from outdoor conditions?

Thermal comfort is a balance between warmth and breathability. Too much heat or not enough breathability lets moisture accumulate and cold set in. This membrane is designed with your activities in mind, preventing water infiltration and letting moisture escape.

Breathable boots for optimal thermal comfort.

We made sure that your boots are waterproof by conducting laboratory tests that simulate walking with the boots half-submerged in water. We also conducted field tests to measure wear and aging. We tested 3 levels of waterproofing: 2,000 flexes (approx. 4-km hike), 4,000 flexes (approx. 8-km hike), and 8,000 flexes (approx. 16-km hike). This boot has been tested for up to 2,000 flexes, which is equivalent to a 4-km hike.

Are my boots 100% waterproof?

A boot’s traction depends on the number and shape of treads. The grip depends on the sole materials and the tread pattern, like car tires. Traction optimizes propulsion, prevents slipping when going uphill, and stabilizes the boot. 
Grip prevents the boots from slipping and skidding on smooth ground or in demanding conditions (rain, snow, and ice).

What is the difference between traction and grip?

Boots with Snow Contact soles provide maximum grip comfort for hiking and traction on snow. The strategical spacing and height of the lugs (3 mm) offer optimal grip when hiking on snow. The lugs are designed to grip hard snow and evacuate excess water to avoid slipping.

Which type of grip and traction does this boot provide?

The material and tread of Snow Contact soles are specifically designed for optimal grip and traction. Snow Contact soles are more effective on snow than traditional soles. When walking on ice, adding anti-slip grips to your boots is the only way to ensure optimum safety.

What are the advantages of Snow Contact technology?

This product was lab-tested by our engineers to ensure your total satisfaction. We tested the following elements: tear resistance of eyelets and straps, bonding, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion resistance of outsole and upper components, and accelerated aging.

Will my boots withstand regular use in the long term?

Follow these guidelines for winter activities: Warmth: wear warm socks (ideally with a good percentage of wool).
Breathability: choose socks based on the intensity of the hike and make sure they’re breathable, to minimize moisture accumulation.
Boot height: the height of the sock should correspond to the height of the boot—for more protection, choose higher socks.

The right footwear for hiking in snow

Water repellency is a fabric’s capacity to make water run off its surface without being absorbed. It prevents the fabric from soaking up water, keeping it lightweight, warm, and breathable. Water repellency is achieved by treating the fabric’s exterior. This treatment needs to be reapplied throughout the product’s lifetime. Products for this purpose (spray and liquid) are available in our stores.

The sole’s design is the result of extensive research conducted in our labs. The sole is composed of a specific rubber formula that optimizes grip and traction. We are systematically looking for the best compromise for walking on soft (e.g., forest paths) and stony (e.g., coastal paths) hiking trails.
Wearing them on paved roads can lead to the premature wear of your boots and cause discomfort. They’re not suitable for mountain hiking.

Resistant soles for walking trails

Laboratory tests were conducted for following elements: tear resistance of eyelets and straps, bonding, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion resistance of outsole and upper components, and accelerated aging. 
We use these tests to improve the quality of our products and prevent the premature wear of our hiking boots.

Tested for durability and optimal resistance

Try on both boots, standing up, while wearing your hiking socks. Try on several models or sizes if necessary. Check two comfort points: 
- the heel seating
- the front of the foot on a downward slope
Avoid any pressure points when fitting. Feel free to walk around to test the comfort and support.   Break your boots in gradually during your first few hiking trips.

How to choose the size of walking boots

These boots are slightly breathable but not enough to wick away all the moisture created by sweat. Wear them with the Hike 50 Mid-Height Socks: they contain moisture-absorbing cotton and have a reverse terry-knit structure underneath that wicks moisture away from your feet. They’re also high enough to protect your ankles. High socks reduce the chance of blisters.

Our Sportslab studies show that fitness and sports activities involve many diverse movements, like twists, repeated jumps, squats, lunges, etc. Our shoes are designed to help you perform these movements without risking an injury. Wearing gym shoes reduces the risk of injury by 20% compared to running shoes.

Why wear gym shoes?

All of our gym shoes have a 4-mm drop. This 4-mm drop more closely approximates the foot’s natural position (barefoot = no drop). 

Drop: height difference between the front and back of the foot

Multi-directional flexibility refers to how well a shoe flexes and twists to support direction changes. 
Studies have shown that gym activities require 1.7 times more flex and extension than running. How your ankles move depends on the type of exercise or running. That’s why we’ve created multi-directional shoes specifically for the gym.

Multi-directional flexibility

Why is it important? Proper support for the ball of the foot is a must to keep you balanced when you change direction.

Ball of the foot support

Cushioning is the shoe’s ability to absorb impacts and vibration. 
The ball of the foot is the main point of impact between the foot and the floor during gym activities and at the heel when running. With excellent cushioning at the ball of the foot, our shoes protect from repeated impacts and stabilize the supporting leg to help you perform consecutive movements more smoothly.


Cushioning for the ball of the foot

This shoe’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 therefore essential. Sensory, mechanical, and biomechanical tests allow us to determine the right level of grip and which part of your foot is in contact with the floor as you pivot.

Grip and rotation

Lab tested movements using sensors precisely measure the body’s reactions. But because there’s nothing like real life, all our fitness products are also tested in gyms.
Testing allows us to offer high-tech products to everyone at a great price, so you can fully enjoy your fitness activities.

What’s our approach? Product testing

The sole is designed to leave no marks on the floor.

The bonus is no marks on the floor.

Our gym shoes are tailored to cardio fitness workouts. They can also be used for limited treadmill running. 
If you want to warm up or cool down before or after a session on a treadmill, these shoes are the perfect choice. If you only run on a treadmill or outdoors, wearing running shoes is highly recommended.

Can you run on a treadmill wearing gym shoes?

Cardio workouts are mainly done at gyms or at home. Our shoes designed for indoor use. Since it is softer, rubber is well-suited for indoor use. Using these shoes outdoors causes premature wear. Soles are tested for floors used in gyms or in homes, and rubber is designed to grip better on such surfaces.

Are gym shoes for indoor use only?

Shoes & Socks

Simple, flexible, and cushioned: everything you need in a running shoe.
Run with a natural stride thanks to:
- their flexibility, which doesn’t hinder the foot’s natural movements
- their 6 mm drop, which tells you how much higher the heel is than the forefoot The smaller the drop, the less runners are required to strike with their heel first, allowing them to use their natural stride.

What makes Run Cushion shoes ideal for beginner and occasional runners?

Three factors make Run Cushion shoes perfect for beginner and occasional runners: their cushioning foam, comfort, and light weight.
EVA foam. Soft and flexible for optimal cushioning.
So light so you’ll forget you’re wearing them.

What makes Run Cushion shoes so comfortable?

The soft, flexible EVA foam insole helps limit repeated impacts for beginner and occasional runners.

Why do running shoes need cushioning?

Lighter shoes demand less effort from runners during their run. Each 100 g in a shoe requires 1% of extra energy!
Run Cushion shoes are one of the lightest in the Kalenji jogging range, weighing 235 g in size 9.5.

Why is a light shoe better for running?

High-rise upper for better ankle support.

Non-marking rubber outsole, resists abrasion.
