The midfoot is formulated from a rock climbing compound and hardened for exceptional abrasion resistance - ideal for rope climbs. Forefoot rubber is formulated for increased grip while the heel area is dense and won't wear down after miles of running or rucking. Three (3) different rubber compounds form a single, seamless rubber outsole. Firm, stable EVA in the heel provides a stable platform to keep you grounded when lifting or squatting. High rebound, high flexibility EVA in the forefoot provides cushion and support for explosive movement. Two (2) different types of EVA fused together in a smooth gradient from forefoot to heel.

The 8mm heel-to-toe drop in the Ballistic Trainers™ creates the best biomechanical advantage when lifting heavy loads (squat, clean, snatch) or moving more than 400 meters (running or rucking). This extra space, along with the breathable and flexible knit, reduces the friction that can occur if your feet rub against the insides of your shoe.ĭense, PU foam insert custom made to fit the contours of the foot supporting all three (3) arches of the foot - yes, you have three arches in your foot (the medial longitudinal arch, the lateral longitudinal arch and the anterior transverse arch).Ĭlassic powerlifting shoes have a 20mm+ heel-to-toe drop (and meant for nothing else), running shoes are all over the place (according to the latest fad), other functional fitness trainers are 4mm (and you can't wait to take them off after the WOD), Chuck T's are zero drop (and painful over all the miles).
