WANDER TOES 2.0

More benefits for the outdoor arena

Technology at your feet

Especially on rougher trails, the foot often needs more protection from sharp stones and roots. Slip resistance is a key requirement for this category of shoe. We achieved both with the sole technology from Soles by Michelin, which ensures reliable traction on different surfaces with the multidirectional lug profile. The 10mm thick EVA midsole is particularly lightweight, protects the foot while allowing a direct feeling on the ground without affecting flexibility. In terms of walking experience and comfort, the new wanderToes remains true to the legacy of the original as you have come to know and love it.

The wanderToes 2.0 is highly water-repellent, which we achieve by additionally sealing the seams on the inside. The tongue is attached to the upper and thereby prevents stones and dirt from entering into the shoe.

NIMBLETOES TRAIL ADDICT

The first road running shoe that combines the scientifically proven benefits of toefreedom®

Technology at your feet

The nimbleToes Trail Addict is ideal for runners who run off the beaten track as well as trail runners. The sole technology, developed in collaboration with Soles by Michelin, offers extra grip through multidirectional lugs. In addition, the 10mm EVA midsole with zero heel drop provides the perfect fusion of cushioning, flexibility and direct ground feel for a light, direct running experience.

Safety first

The wide, anatomically correct toe box allows the toes to splay – allowing them to perform their natural stabilising function during the ground contact and push-off phases. This prevents the overpronation so feared by runners. The stability so central to the runner is ensured by Joe Nimble’s toefreedom® philosophy. The soft ripstop upper is robust and breathable at the same time.

NIMBLETOES ADDICT

Designed on the biomechanical principles of Functional Footwear

Technology at your feet

The nimbleToes Addict also cuts a fine figure as a running shoe for the street, in the gym and in everyday life. The wide, anatomically correct toe box allows the toes to spread – so they can exercise their natural stabilizing function during the ground contact and push-off phase. This prevents overpronation, which is so feared by runners. The 10mm EVA midsole with zero heel drop offers the perfect fusion of cushioning, flexibility and direct ground feel for a light, direct running experience.

First-class grip on asphalt is guaranteed by the innovative outsole technology, developed in close cooperation with Soles by Michelin. The light, breathable and seamless upper construction of the mesh variant has proven itself and is reinforced by additional protective elements, especially in the toe area. The stability that is so crucial for the runner is ensured by Joe Nimble’s toefreedom® philosophy.
