GLIDERIDE™ 2

This shoe is far more obvious in its rocker approach. It is 5mm higher off the ground than the EVORIDE™ 2, with a midsole height of 31-26mm and 30-25mm for men and women respectively.

The GLIDERIDE™ 2 has a more complex midsole composition, mixing FLYTEFOAM™ with a softer FLYTEFOAM™ propel for women and an EVA plate to provide stiffness at propulsion. This 2mm GUIDESOLE™ plate emerges from the metatarsal bases toward the toes, giving a firm transfer platform.

This shoe is ideal for the runner, whatever their level, to run longer and tire less. This shoe isn’t meant to be fast or compete with the Nike Vaporfly. It is good at what it is designed for. Easy, efficient, and cushioned kilometres.

It’s also perfect for many of those with stiff joints through either age or ‘wear and tear’. As we age, joints can lose range of motion and muscles can reduce strength, invariably reducing our propulsive leverage. The GLIDERIDE™ 2 acknowledges this and rocks the whole foot and limb forward instead of relying on key joints to do the flexing.

Essentially the toe spring and the FOREFOOT PLATE in the GLIDERIDE™ 2 create a rocker sensation, hence the shoe does some of the work for you by reducing the load in the foot and ankle (this for some, negating the effect of joint stiffness).
