A specialist winter trail shoe for runners who face genuine ice and packed snow; the tungsten spikes and GORE-TEX membrane define it, but they also limit it to cold, slick conditions.
Soft optiFOAM cushioning with a tall 33.5/25.5mm stack and 8mm drop, stabilized by the activeCHASSIS and a rocker geometry for guided, stable footing.
A precise, secure fit via the endoFit internal sleeve and quickLACE system, aimed at foot-hold on technical terrain rather than roomy comfort.
Winter trail running on ice, packed snow, and frozen technical terrain where metal spikes and full waterproofing matter.
You run mostly in dry or warm conditions, since the spikes and GORE-TEX add weight and warmth with no benefit off ice.
