ADV Nordic Speed 2 Running Shoe - Women's

TPU overlays are made from thermoplastic polyurethane, a flexible and durable material that adds support and protection to the shoe's upper. They reinforce high-wear areas without adding extra weight, enhancing the overall durability of your running shoes. This means your shoes will last longer and provide better support during your runs.

Ar Foam is a proprietary foam technology used in the midsole of the shoe, designed to offer a perfect balance of cushioning and energy return. It absorbs the impact when your foot strikes the ground and helps propel you forward, making your runs more comfortable and efficient. This can lead to improved performance and reduced fatigue during longer runs.

The "drop" refers to the height difference between the heel and forefoot of the shoe. A 9mm drop means the heel is 9mm higher than the forefoot. This design can help reduce strain on your calves and Achilles tendon, making it beneficial for runners, especially those transitioning from a higher drop to a lower drop shoe. It can also promote a more natural running gait.

A triangular tread pattern on the shoe's sole enhances grip and traction on various surfaces, whether you're running on pavement or trails. The unique shape allows for smooth transitions between different terrains, improving stability and control during your runs. This means you can feel more confident and secure, regardless of where you’re running.

Compression-molded EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a lightweight foam used in the midsoles of running shoes. The compression-molding process shapes the foam under heat and pressure, resulting in excellent shock absorption. This is crucial for protecting your feet from impact during runs, providing a cushioned feel that can enhance comfort and performance.

The combination of TPU overlays, Ar Foam, a suitable drop, triangular tread, and compression-molded EVA creates a shoe that is not only durable but also comfortable and efficient. Each technology plays a role in providing support, cushioning, traction, and stability, allowing you to focus on your performance and enjoy your runs without discomfort or distraction.
