JURY STATEMENT:
Comfortable and robust: the Vectiv™ Infinite trail running shoe combines these features perfectly. The special rocker geometry of the midsole facilitates rolling, giving a balanced, protected ride. The jury was most impressed by the innovative upper material, which is partly made of very tear-resistant Kevlar as well as the embedded foam panels for extra comfort. Professional athletes Hilary Allen and Fernanda Maciel were involved in the development of the shoe, with their experience “running” through this shoe.
Due to its strong cushioning and moderate weight (614g per pair), the Vectiv™ Infinite is great on a variety of surfaces, helping women run further and wilder.
Combining a 3D dual-density Pebax® footplate, midsole rocker geometry and SurfaceCTRL™ grip, our new VECTIV™ technology is designed to maximise energy on the trail. And in the Infinites this translates as the perfect balance of responsiveness and protection in ultra-distance trail running shoes. They‘re incredibly durable thanks to Kevlar®, polyamide and Matryx® while the 6mm toe-to-heel offset propels you into your next gait cycle.
VECTIV technology has been developed with women in mind. Our world class athletes including Hiliary Allen and Fernanda Maciel were involved in the development and testing of the shoe from the beginning, driving input into the shoe from a female perspective. The VECTIC Infinite uses a women‘s specific shape for the soling and upper, helping to stay true to form over any distance.
