Amplux Trail Running Shoe - Women's

REPTEX is a synthetic material used in the upper part of the shoe that is both breathable and durable. Its breathable nature allows air to circulate, keeping your feet cool during long runs, while its durability ensures that the shoes can withstand the wear and tear of outdoor activities. The ripstop weaving technique also makes it resistant to tearing, providing added longevity for your trail adventures.

EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) is a lightweight foam material used in the midsole of the shoe. It provides excellent cushioning and support, which helps absorb impact when you run. This means that your feet will feel more comfortable, especially during long runs, as the EVA foam reduces the stress on your joints and enhances your overall running experience.

The LOWA TRAC Agility sole is specifically designed to provide superior traction on various surfaces, which is crucial for trail running where the terrain can be unpredictable. This sole balances grip and speed, allowing you to navigate uneven and slippery paths confidently while maintaining your pace. It helps you stay stable and secure, enhancing your performance on the trails.

The "drop" refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. For example, a 6mm drop means the heel is 6mm higher than the forefoot. This measurement can influence your running stride and comfort. A lower drop can promote a more natural running style, while a higher drop may provide additional cushioning for those who need it, especially during long-distance runs.

"Moderate cushion" indicates that the shoe offers a balanced level of padding and support. This type of cushioning absorbs shock effectively while still allowing you to feel connected to the ground. It strikes a good balance between comfort and responsiveness, making it ideal for trail running where you need both protection and feedback from the terrain.

To determine if these features suit your running style, consider your typical running environment and personal preferences. If you often run on trails with varying terrain, the traction of the LOWA TRAC Agility sole and the durability of REPTEX will be beneficial. If you prioritize comfort and shock absorption, the EVA foam and moderate cushion will enhance your experience. It's always a good idea to try on the shoes and assess how they feel during a test run to ensure they meet your needs.
