This walking/running shoe features an open weave mesh Kinetic Fit System upper, a HexRide heel, a Walking Stride Guide for a smooth heel-to-toe transition, a Play Dry moisture-wicking lining, a molded sockliner, a beveled heel for an enhanced walking stride, forefoot flex grooves, and a women’s last. HexRide technology was developed to provide an air spring cushioned ride. The air inside the hexagonal shapes is sealed in with impact resistant polymer film to create a lightweight cushioned ride. KineticFit provides a fit system that accommodates the changes in size and shape of an athletes foot as it moves. From impact through toe-off, the foot can change up to a half of a shoe size. KineticFit makes a series of engineered stretch panels positioned in key areas of the shoe. These panels allow the shoe to respond and move naturally with the foot. Play Dry is a base layer which removes moisture, accelerates evaporation, increases ventilation and reduces abrasion without trapping the body’s thermal energy.
