Carbon Racing Shoes

Carbon-plated racing shoes featuring full-length carbon-fiber plates and supercritical PEBA foam midsoles, engineered for maximum energy return on race day. With stack heights approaching the World Athletics 40mm limit and weights under 8 oz, these are purpose-built race-day weapons with 100-250 mile lifespans. Over 60% of major marathon finishers now race in super shoes.
