Main Material

When you run, each impact with the ground generates a shockwave equivalent to three times your weight. The impact runs from the heel to the top of your spine. These shock waves are extremely hard on your joints. A good pair of running shoes is key for absorbing shocks and dispersing vibrations.

What makes the Run Cushion shoe ideal for jogging?

To continue running, your joints, back, and knees must be properly protected from shocks and vibrations. Run Cushion shoes limit the impact of these repeated shock waves from your very first runs.

Why do running shoes need cushioning?

For optimum comfort, choose one size larger than what you usually wear. Be sure there is 1 cm between your toe and the tip of the shoe to account for normal swelling during your runs.

How to choose the right size running shoe

What sizes are available?

How much does the Run Cushion running shoe weigh?

Drop is the difference between the height of the shoe’s heel and forefoot. 

What is the drop of a shoe?

There is a 6-mm height difference between the front and back of the sole. 

What is the drop on a Run Cushion running shoe?

Avoid machine washing your shoes to prevent damage to their technological and material properties; they may become unstuck or shrink, and the upper fabric may tear. 
To clean dirt or mud, wash with soapy water and a synthetic brush. Do not use bleach! Rinse with fresh water.
Avoid putting shoes near a heat source to dry.

When starting trail running or on short runs near your home, you could find yourself running on relatively flat terrain, including sections of road.
For your first trail runs or as a spare pair of shoes for short runs, we suggest the TR Trail Running Shoes: they provide cushioning, promote flexibility, and deliver better traction on trails and sections of road.

An Evadict running shoe for your trail runs... as soon as you leave home.

For added flexibility, the sole of the TR Trail Running Shoe has flex grooves along its entire length: this facilitates your foot motion.
The rubber of the sole provides more grip. And with the 4-mm lugs, running on sections of road remains comfortable.
Finally, the TR Trail Running Shoes are lightweight: weighing 270 g in size 5.5, they’re recommended for trail runners of up to 70 kg.

Flexible, non-slip, and lightweight—that’s all you need to know about the TR Trail Running Shoe.

Kalensole is the EVA foam used in the midsole. The exclusive composition improves cushioning by 34%, propulsion by 25%, and provides better temperature stability and durability.
What about the CS? The Circular System consists of an air pocket in the foam at the heel. This ensures a more even and effective shockwave spread at this part of the foot.

What’s the cushioning like?
CS and Kalensole: for effective cushioning on roads and trails.

The denser foam located under the first metatarsus makes our trail shoes suitable for every stride type.

A running shoe that adapts to the surface and to your stride thanks to the K-Only technology.

The drop of a shoe is the difference in sole height between the forefoot and the heel. 
The shorter the drop, the more natural the foot movement.
The TR Trail Running Shoes have a 10-mm drop.

What’s drop, and how much drop does the TR Trail Running Shoe have (mm)?

The TR Trail Running Shoe is thoroughly tested in the lab, then in real-life conditions on the trail running route of the Côte d’Opale, in mid-winter.
The result is a reliable, versatile, and comfortable trail running shoe.

An Evadict shoe that has been tested and approved in real-life conditions.

The pocket on the tongue can hold your laces to avoid any discomfort.

A final word of advice before trail running

The K-Ring in the heel and Kalensole sole cushion for up to 1,000 km.

The wide sole and heel reinforcement provide stability.

Stability

Lightweight components lighten your stride: 234 g in size 38.

The texture and geometry of the soles provide extra traction on wet terrain.

The energy return of the Kalensole foam boosts acceleration.

Energy return

K-Only is suitable for all strides (neutral, overpronator, underpronator).

Designed for training runs and races up to a marathon.

Research and development have shown that lighter shoes improve running performance by reducing energy consumption.
The design of the KS Light does not compromise on comfort and durability. Improved with lighter components and an optimized sole design.
Kiprun’s KS Light is 12% lighter than the Kiprun Long.
Weight: 240 g in size 5.5.

Why choose light running shoes?

For long-lasting running performance with optimal comfort, we have developed two technologies: 
- K-Ring: the ring in the heel improves rear cushioning and distributes shocks to effectively protect the body (joints, back, knees, etc.) 
- Kalensole: Exclusive foam, developed through research and development, improves cushioning by 34%, delivers 25% more energy return than traditional foam and offers durability of up to 1,000 km

The importance of cushioning

A stable shoe that facilitates the roll-through of the foot and reduces the effort needed to control the foot and heel for a more relaxed foot motion.
The surface supporting the foot and at the back of the heel has been reinforced.

Did you say stable?

Comfort is a key factor for regular, long-distance runs.
We have sought to improve this comfort with:
- a new collar at the back of the shoe ensuring excellent heel support and ideal softness.
- a pre-shaped sole made out of PU (polyurethane) open-cell foam.
- a reworked forefoot area for more comfort.
- a single piece of seamless fabric reduce rubbing.

The comfort of the Kiprun KS Light

For effective running without any loss of control when it rains, our sole was designed like a car tire. 
The new geometry of the sole combined with a new rubber component provides the Kiprun KS Light with excellent grip on wet terrain, even at top speed.

Excellent road-holding ability on wet roads and turns

The exclusive K-Only concept with denser foam under the first metatarsus is suitable for all stride types (overpronator, underpronator, neutral).
A six-month study conducted with the Luxembourg Institute of Health* showed that the K-Only concept suits all strides.
Key findings:
- 372 runners
- over 12,558 training sessions
- 12,094 hours of running
- 116,723 km covered

Adapted to all strides

The height difference between the back and front of the sole is 10 mm.

10 mm drop

The Kiprun KS Light is the product of footwear expertise gained over more than 10 years at Decathlon.

Flexible, lightweight EVA foam absorbs shock waves.

Heel to toe drop

Plenty of flex grooves for easier foot motion. 

Perfect grip on wet ground (sole geometry and texture).

Designed to give you a more natural stride and a new feel when running.

To help you achieve a natural stride, the KN 500 Running Shoes offer:
– a reduced 4 mm drop – 
increased flexibility thanks to their flex grooves
 – a very light weight (197 g in size 5.5)
 – a thin heel
A natural stride is the stride we adopt when we run barefoot, striking the floor with the forefoot or middle of the foot (midfoot).

Natural stride

The drop is the height difference between the front and back of the shoe. It is very important for a runner’s stride, but exactly how drop influences a runner’s performance or risk of injury is uncertain. Drop does have a direct impact on muscles and tendons: a low drop causes calves and Achilles tendons to be more stretched. That’s why any changes to drop must be made gradually.

What is the influence of the drop?

The transition to a natural stride has to be progressive to avoid any risk of injury. It is essential to get your muscles used to running with a low drop (and low cushioning) gradually. You can reduce the drop gradually, or divide your workouts into two parts by doing a warm-up with your low-drop shoes and a regular session with your normal shoes.

How to safely transition from a high drop to a low drop

The KN 500 Running Shoes slip on to provide maximum flexibility. The elastic component of the upper allows the shoe to mould to your foot.

Slip on construction

Enjoy more stability with the Arkstab concept.

Reinforced foam under the insole for optimal comfort.

New Features of the Kiprun Long 2

To give you optimal comfort and performance when running, we focused on the sole, which features 2 technologies:

- K-Ring: a ring located in the heel to improve cushioning and protect the joints, back, knees, etc. 
- Kalensole: improves cushioning by 34% and propulsion by 25% (compared with standard foam) and lasts up to 1,000 km.

A stable shoe that facilitates the roll-through of the foot and reduces the effort needed to control the foot and heel for a more relaxed foot motion.
We increased the surface supporting the foot, added TPU resin (Arkstab technology) in the middle of the foot, and added reinforcement behind the heel.

What about stability?

Foot comfort is paramount for running regularly over long distances.
So, we’ve improved the level of comfort with:
- a new collar at the back of the shoe ensuring excellent heel support and ideal softness.
- a preformed sole made of open-cell PU (polyurethane) foam.
- a reworked forefoot area for more comfort.
- a seamless, single piece of fabric to reduce friction.

User comfort

TPU reinforcements at the heel and forefoot.

Suitable for all stride types thanks to denser foam under the first metatarsal.

These shoes are designed to give your feet absolute comfort when running (3 times/week, up to an hour).

When you run, each impact with the ground generates a shockwave equivalent to three times your weight. This wave runs from the heel to the top of the spine. Shockwaves from running can be hard on your joints. The Run Comfort running shoe was designed to protect you from shocks and impacts.

What makes Run Comfort shoes ideal for running?

The cushioning in Run Comfort running shoes is provided by a sole made of exclusive flexible and soft EVA foam that we have dubbed Kalensole, along with the “Circular System” technology: an air hole in the foam at the heel enables more effective and uniform dispersion of the shockwave.

What guarantees the 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?

For optimum comfort, choose one size larger than what you usually wear. Be sure to have 1 cm between your toe and the tip to accommodate for normal swelling during your runs.

How to choose the right sized running shoe

Network of straps around the instep for better support

Our design teams developed these women's running shoes to provide cushioning and grip for running up to 10 km (6 mi).

The run active grip shoes are specially designed for running

EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl acetate) foam which is both lightweight and offers good shock absorbing properties.
CS (Circular System) technology optimizes shock absorption.

What are the cushioning features of the run active grip shoe?

Grip is an important feature for running on trails and paths. So it is important to choose a shoe with a lugged outsole that provides superior grip.

Why is grip so important on trails?

Choose one size bigger than your usual size to ensure optimum comfort in your run cushion grip shoes. There should be 1 cm (2/5") between your toe and the end of your shoe, as your feet swell during exercise.

How much does a run active grip shoe weigh?

Drop is the difference between the height of the shoe’s heel and forefoot. There is a 10 mm (2/5") height difference between the front and back of the sole.

What is the drop of a run active grip shoe?

Do not machine wash your shoes as this can damage their physical properties, leading to detachment, shrinkage or tearing of the mesh at the top of the foot. 
We therefore recommend that, when they are very dirty (muddy), you wash them with soapy water and a synthetic brush. Do not use bleach! Rinse with fresh water.
Avoid putting shoes near a heat source to dry.
