The Repetitor foam and the rocker shape will keep you going forward even when you’re on autopilot, halfway through a half marathon distance. It should also be noted that this part of the shoe has been made with a minimum of 50% recycled material, a growing trend among major brands in the market in which sustainability is already one of the main objectives. However, there are a ton of methods of new-age stability that provide a highly guided ride, particularly in the heel.
