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.
