Our design teams have developed this lightweight, shock-absorbing and stable women’s running shoe for your training and races up to the marathon.
WHY CHOOSE A LIGHTWEIGHT RUNNING SHOE?
Research and development studies have shown that a lighter product improves running performance thanks to better energy savings. To design the KS LIGHT, no compromise was made on comfort and durability, but rather lighter component choices and an optimized sole design. The result: The KIPRUN KS LIGHT shoe is 12% lighter than the KIPRUN LONG. Its weight: 240 g in size 39.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CUSHIONING
To run with maximum comfort and performance, we have developed 2 concepts: – K-Ring: a ring, located at the heel, improves rear cushioning and allows the dispersion of the shock wave to protect the body (joints, back, knees, etc.) effectively. – Kalensole: an exclusive foam, developed with our R&D department, allows a 34% improvement in cushioning, +25% energy return and a resistance of 1000km compared to a traditional foam
DID YOU SAY STABLE?
A stable shoe helps facilitate the rolling of the foot and limits the effort of controlling the foot and ankle in order to have a relaxed support. We have therefore increased the support surface of the foot and added a reinforcement at the back of the heel.
THE COMFORT OF THE KIPRUN KS LIGHT
To run for a long time and regularly, foot comfort is a key element. We have therefore sought to improve this comfort thanks to: – a new collar at the back of the shoe ensuring excellent support of the heel in the shoe and ideal softness. – a preformed sole made from a honeycomb PU (polyurethane) foam. – a reworked front area of the foot to avoid any discomfort. – a one-piece, seamless fabric to limit the risk of friction.
EXCELLENT ROAD HANDLING ON WET AND CORNERING ROADS
Our sole is designed like a car tire to run efficiently without loss of control even in the rain. The new sole geometry combined with a new rubber gives the KIPRUN KS LIGHT excellent grip on wet ground, even at top speed.
ADAPTED TO ALL STRIDES
Thanks to its exclusive K-ONLY concept, a denser foam located under the first metatarsal, there is no need to know your stride type (pronator, supinator, neutral)! A 6-month study, carried out with the Luxembourg Institute of Health*, demonstrated that the K-Only concept was suitable for all stride types. The study in figures: – 372 runners – more than 12 training sessions – 558 hours of practice, – 12 km covered
10MM DROP
The difference in sole height between the front and the rear is 10 mm.
