Whether designed for hiking on trails through the Big Sur Mountains or taking a run through Golden Gate Park, we infuse technology that keeps us centered, balanced, and ultimately comfortable for miles on end. And while our passions drive us to create great performance products, our values guide us to be responsible throughout all of our environmental and social encounters.

MINIMAL RUNNING There has been a growing trend toward minimal support running shoes. These shoes have less material between the foot and the running surface which encourages an altered foot strike that is more sensitive to impact. This can stimulate a new type of foot strike for a renewed running experience. The Hayward is just such a shoe and will be a good option for those that are interested in incorporating this type of running into their training.
