Why wear gym shoes?

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.

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

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).

Multi-directional flexibility

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.

Ball of the foot support

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

Cushioning for the ball of the foot

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.

Grip and rotation

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.

What’s our approach? Product testing

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.

The bonus is no marks on the floor.

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

Can you run on a treadmill wearing gym shoes?

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.

Are gym shoes for indoor use only?

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.
