THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CUSHIONING

To give you optimal comfort and performance when running, we concentrated our attention on the sole which features 2 concepts: - K-Ring: a ring located in the heel to improve cushioning at the rear and spread the shockwave in order to provide effective protection for the body: joints, back, knees, etc. - Kalensole: improves cushioning by 34% and propulsion by 25% compared with standard foam and lasts up to 1,000 km.

DID YOU SAY STABLE?

A stable shoe that facilitates the roll-through of the foot and reduces the effort needed to control the foot and the heel for a more relaxed foot motion. As a result, we have increased the contact area of the foot and added the ARKSTAB technology, i.e. a piece of TPU resin at the midfoot area.

THE COMFORT OF THE KIPRUN KS500

In order to run regularly over long distances, foot comfort is of the utmost importance. So, we tried to improve the level of comfort with the following: - a new collar at the back of the shoe ensuring excellent heel support and ideal softness. - a preformed sole made of open-cell PU (polyurethane) foam. - a revised forefoot area - a seamless, single piece of fabric to reduce friction.

EXCELLENT ROAD-HOLDING ABILITY ON WET ROADS AND BENDS

Our sole is designed like a car tyre for running performance without losing control in wet conditions. The new geometry of the sole combined with a new rubber component provides the KIPRUN LONG2 with excellent grip on wet terrain, even at top speed.

WHAT'S NEW ABOUT THE KIPRUN KS500?

Thanks to your reviews over the last 2 years, we have completely revised the sole of the KS500 in order to make the shoe more comfortable and create a smoother foot motion. The upper of the KS500 has also been revised to improve the breathability (thanks to a more breathable tongue) and the level of comfort (thanks to the half-sock construction).

A TEAM OF PASSIONATE ATHLETES TO OFFER A UNIQUE RUNNING EXPERIENCE

The KIPRUN KS500 is the fruit of the shoemaking expertise acquired over more than 10 years at Decathlon. Caroline and Pierre-Emmanuel (product managers), Raphael (product engineer) and Nicolas (designer), all running enthusiasts, develop your Kiprun shoes thanks to a network of ambassadors: the runners at Decathlon, sports coaches and you! In this way, we choose the components, create the prototypes and test and validate the products with laboratory and field tests.
