The Glideride Max is a maximum cushioned trainer for long, recovery runs providing energy savings and smooth transition. Ideal for those seeking forefoot stiffness. The posterior lateral heel bevel and mild posterior flare provide a smooth heel transition while the wide basenett, mild midsole flaring, and gentle sidewalls provide guidance through the stride. The hardened EVA plate, together with the forefoot rocker geometry and higher stack height, adds a level of rigidity to the forefoot designed to assist in the smooth transition from midstance to toe off while reducing pressure on the Achilles tendon and Calf muscle. The Glideride Max will be suitable for those seeking mild to moderate forefoot stiffness due to mobility deficits in the foot and ankle joints, particularly the first MTP joint, or where you may need to offload the forefoot. The footwear technology features, together with the lighter weight feel of the shoe, allow the runner to easily transition forward making this shoe a solid running and walking option.
