[Marathon Entry] These running shoes have been specially designed for marathon beginners and advanced runners. They reduce muscle strain and provide gentle propulsion support - ideal for runs over 5-20km
[Heel Attachment Friendly] The marathon running shoes combine a widened heel with 8mm drop, ensuring stable landings for beginners, heel runners and 5-7min/km pace runners.
T400 carbon propulsion: The carbon running shoes use a T400 shovel carbon plate with hollow design and reinforced midfoot area, which provides easier controllable propulsion and approx. 30% more stability.
Lightweight and durable: the running shoes have a 3.5 mm rubber outsole with direction-oriented profile for strong grip and high abrasion resistance. At only 7.5 ounces (per shoe), they support a fast stride frequency, while the polyester/TPEE jacquard upper remains lightweight, breathable and tear-resistant.
Highly reactive cushioning: The men's running shoes are equipped with a super-critical midsole with 70% rebound and only 0.11 g/cm³ density - for a lightweight, dynamically springy ride.
Gentle attachment phase: The marathon running shoes offer pressure-free first contact thanks to 6 mm drop and 23 mm forefoot height and return to 8 mm in the repulsion phase - for fluid, efficient propulsion.

[T400 Carbon Plate] High-performance carbon plate for powerful imprint and stable support. The shovel-shaped construction follows the natural rolling motion of the foot and reinforces propulsion when pushing. The hollow design reduces weight without compromising crucial stability - ensuring safe stepping even at long distances.
Stable support: Upward pulled heel side wall wraps the heel tightly and reduces wobbling and shifting during the run. Outsole with approx. 10° tilt increases lateral contact surface, distributes forces and ensures stable standing even during long runs.
Reactive midsole: The shoes feature the XTEP ACE Supercritical Foam midsole. Evenly distributed, small closed microbubbles ensure excellent energy absorption and release, reach 70% rebound rate. During long runs, every step delivers fast rebound for a light, powerful ride.
Non-slip outsole: The rubber sole has been reinforced to 3.5 mm, increases grip and abrasion resistance while remaining responsive to the impression - ideal for long distances such as marathon runs.
Lightweight and breathable: The midsole has a density of only 0.11 g/cm³ and effectively reduces shoe weight - individual shoes weigh only 217 g, relieve the foot and allow easy acceleration and stable pace. The jacquard knit upper with polyester and TPE yarns is thin, breathable and keeps feet dry even during long runs and summer runs.
