optimal FOOTWEAR TECHNOLOGY: FOR BEGINNERS and MARATHON RUNNERS Your run will lead you along streets and through the park. The more you run, the longer the distances you take on. Your regular running rhythm will become calmer and leaving the day behind you will get easier. Over the past couple of decades, so called “road running� has developed into a true mass sport, embodying the essential character of running: anyone can start anytime. Whether for health reasons or out of a motivation to push personal limits and improve individual performance, anyone who exercises regularly knows the feeling of gratification and reward. This unique and immediate experience unites people all across the world, from rookie to pro. In order to support your training, we work closely with our athletes to refine our footwear technologies. The new FLUIDFIT technology combines elastic stretch mesh uppers with flexible PU reinforcements for the ultimate in customised fit and comfort without skin irritation. Further innovations in RUN LONG models can be found on the following pages.

Running on versatile terrain PROVIDES IDEAL VARIATION Your run takes you over different terrains, off-road, and out of the city. You love variety in speed and adjust your run to varied ground surfaces with precision. Nature opens up right before your eyes on different routes. Trails and walkways become running courses, trees and plants turn into navigation posts. Speed, distance and time don’t matter. You’re focused on the path before you conquering it with every step. The trail is not your enemy. You become one with it. Running on varied terrain exercises certain muscle groups more intensely than a run over asphalt. Soon you know how to adjust your running speed and stride length to improve coordination. Our footwear technologies in the RUN TOUGH range are perfectly adapted to your individual run on demanding terrain. The ROCK PROTECTION PLATE prevents rocks from piercing the sole and specific outsole profiles provide maximum grip uphill. Gore-Tex ® materials ensure that your feet stay dry in wet weather.
