The GLIDERIDE 3 shoe is designed to help you conserve more energy, so you can log more miles during your distance training. A key focus for this design was to make this trainer smoother and more comfortable. Softer and more breathable, this shoe features a redesigned engineered mesh upper. This material comfortably wraps your foot and increases airflow to keep your feet cool. We added FF BLAST PLUS cushioning to the midsole to create a softer touchdown at footstrike. It keeps the shoe lightweight while adding a more responsive rebound at toe-off. GUIDESOLE technology reduces ankle flexion and lightens the load placed on your foot. Along with its curved sole design, this shoe helps you roll through your training with less effort.

Pronation:

Designed for Underpronation / Neutral

Underpronation

Foot Type: High arches

Push Off: The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot.

Considered Injuries: Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain.

How your foot contacts the ground: The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.

Neutral

Foot Type: Normal size arches

Push Off: There is even distribution from the front of the foot.

Considered Injuries: Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury.

How your foot contacts the ground: The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.
