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.

Extensive lab research went into the design of the sole. We chose a specific rubber formula that optimizes grip and resistance. We try to find the best compromise for walking on both loose off-road terrain and hard, stony trails.

Grippy soles on flat natural trails

Our walking shoes are designed for use on off-road trails. We choose the sole and upper components for our footwear and test them to ensure they're perfectly suited to walking on loose trails (e.g. unpaved forest paths) or rocky trails (e.g. rocky coastal paths). Wearing them on paved roads could cause premature wear and discomfort. They're not suitable for mountain hiking.

Designed for use on nature trails.

Laboratory tests were conducted to test the following elements: tearing eyelets and straps, gluing, toxicology, UV resistance, abrasion resistance of outsole and upper components, accelerated aging. These tests allow us to improve product quality and prevent premature wear.

Lab-tested

Try on both shoes, standing up, 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 the store. Break your shoes in gradually during your first few hiking trips.

How to choose the size of walking shoes

There are multiple factors that contribute to the formation of blisters when walking: rubbing, a crease in the sock, moisture, a shoe size that is too small or too big, etc. So, it's important to choose the right size and wear socks made of the right material for your walking shoes.

The shoe/sock combination plays an important role.

You need to choose the correct sock size for your feet to prevent any extra creases from forming. These folds may form because the sock is too big, with too much material around your foot, or because the sock is too small and pulled toward the inside of the foot.

How to choose the right size of walking socks

Moisture must be effectively managed when walking: We sweat, it’s bound to happen. If your shoe is breathable, it will wick away moisture from your perspiration. This means you need to choose socks that are also light and breathable. If your shoes are relatively waterproof, you'll make a different choice for rain protection: choose a sock that will absorb your sweat and wick it as far as possible away from your foot.

How to choose the right walking sock fabric

These shoes are slightly breathable, but not enough to release all the moisture created by your sweat. We recommend the NH100 Mid socks: they contain moisture-absorbing cotton and have a reverse terry-knit structure underneath that wicks moisture away from your foot. They're also high enough to protect your ankles from the shoes. A great way to minimize blisters.

Which socks are adapted to the NH100 shoes?

Our hiking shoes are guaranteed for 2 years.

type of leather

The sole’s design is the result of extensive research conducted in our labs. It is composed of a specific rubber formula that optimizes grip and traction. We’re always looking for the best solution for walking on unpaved nature trails.

Grippy soles on flat nature trails

Our walking shoes are designed for use on nature trails. We choose the sole and upper components for our footwear and test them to ensure they’re perfectly suited for walking on unpaved trails, such as forest paths, as well as on rocky coastal trails. Wearing them on paved roads could cause premature wear and discomfort. They’re not suitable for mountain hiking.

Lab-tested for the 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 shoes.

Tested for resistance and optimal durability

We use nubuck leather. It has a soft, silky feel. The leather used on these shoes comes from cows. We do not kill any animals to obtain this leather: we only use leather waste from the food industry. Leather for these shoes comes from French hide which is then tanned in Spain.

Where do we get our leather?

After your hike, we recommend that you
- Let your boots dry near a heat source.
- Use a hard-bristled brush on the dry leather to remove any mud or dirt.
- Use a soft-bristled brush or nubuck eraser to remove any stains.
- Clean stubborn stains using a brush and a little bit of warm water.
- Let the boots dry.
- Brush them again with a hard-bristled brush.
- Spray with a waterproofing product: this will make the leather shine and brighten up the colour.

How to maintain your leather shoes

Try on both shoes, standing up, 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 the store to test the comfort. Break your shoes in gradually during your first few hiking trips.

How to choose the right size walking shoes

Many things cause blisters when hiking: rubbing, a crease in the sock, moisture, a wrong shoe size. Therefore, it’s important to choose the right shoe size and sock material for your shoes.
Choose a sock size adapted to your foot to avoid any additional creasing of the material: Bunching may occur because the sock is too big with too much material around your foot, or because the sock is too small and is being pulled toward the inside of the foot.

How to choose the right hiking sock type and size

You need to manage moisture as best you can when walking: you will sweat—it’s inevitable.
The NH 500 shoe is breathable, so it will wick away moisture. This means you need to choose socks that are also light and breathable. We recommend the Hike 100 low or mid socks. they contain moisture-absorbing cotton and have a reverse terry-knit structure that wicks moisture away from your foot. They are high enough to protect your ankle from the shoe

What socks go well with the NH 500 shoe?

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

Absorbs impacts and disperses the vibrations caused by running

Stretch component and no seams at the forefoot

Flex grooves to support your foot movement at every stride

Rear reinforcements and synthetic strips encase your foot

We designed these jogging shoes to make your feet as comfortable as possible when running (1-3 times/week, up to 1 hour) on roads or on a treadmill.

When you run, the shock wave generated by each impact with the ground equals approximately 3 times your weight. This shock wave is diffused from the heel to the top of the spine. Your joints act as shock absorbers, but this puts a lot of pressure on them. We have designed the DECATHLON RUN COMFORT running shoes to protect you from shocks and impacts.

WHY ARE THE RUN COMFORT SHOES SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR RUNNING?

The comfort of the RUN COMFORT running shoe, specially designed for regular runners, is based on 3 elements: cushioning foam, user comfort, and support.

RUN COMFORT - YES! BUT WHY IS IT COMFORTABLE?

In order to keep on running, you need to protect your body (joints, back, knees, etc.) effectively from shocks and vibrations. The cushioning in the RUN COMFORT shoes has been designed to limit the impact of these repeated impacts on regular runners.

WHY IS THERE CUSHIONING IN RUNNING SHOES?

The cushioning in DECATHLON RUN COMFORT running shoes is provided by a sole made of exclusive, flexible, and soft EVA (Ethylene vinyl acetate) foam, which we have dubbed KALENSOLE, along with the 'Circular System' concept: an airhole in the foam at the heel enables more effective and uniform dispersion of the shockwave.

HOW DO WE GUARANTEE GREAT CUSHIONING IN RUN COMFORT RUNNING SHOES?

When you run, your foot must be supported for a number of reasons: preventing friction, irritation, and blisters.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE GOOD SUPPORT?

Our RUN COMFORT running shoes are equipped with reinforcements at the back of the foot as well as synthetic bands on the forefoot to envelope and support your feet during exercise.

HOW IS SUPPORT ENSURED BY THE RUN COMFORT RUNNING SHOE?

In order to ensure optimum comfort with your RUN COMFORT shoes, choose a size bigger than your usual size. There should be 1 cm between your toe and the end of your shoes as your feet will swell during exercise.


WHICH SIZE RUNNING SHOES SHOULD I CHOOSE?

'Drop' is the difference between the height of the back (heel) and front (forefoot) of the shoe. To simplify things, a shoe with high heels will have a very high drop because the difference in height between the front and back of the shoe is considerable, whereas the drop on a flip-flop will be zero.

WHAT IS A SHOE'S "DROP"?

10 mm height difference between front and back of sole

WHAT IS THE DROP ON A RUN COMFORT RUNNING SHOE?

We recommend that you avoid machine washing your shoes as this causes damage to the technological and material properties of the shoe; they may come unstuck or shrink, and upper fabric may tear. 
When shoes are very dirty (muddy), we recommend washing them with soapy water and a synthetic brush. Above all, avoid bleach! Rinse in fresh water.
Do not leave your shoes to dry too close to a source of heat.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY RUN COMFORT RUNNING SHOES?

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF RUNNING?

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?

Practice Conditions

In walking there is complete heel-to-toe transition, from the moment the heel hits the ground to the propulsion of the front of the foot. During this phase the foot is extremely arched. Walking shoes should be extremely flexible to move with your foot.
