| DROP 8 MM |
The height difference between the back and front of the sole is 8 mm. |
| 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. |
