Exceptional traction, flexibility, and durability
The outsole of the Saucony Shadow Master Sky Blue Coral-Navy is made up of two types of rubber – the XT-900 and IBR+. These rubbers are appropriately marked upon closer inspection of the bottom of the shoe. The combination of both materials enhances flexibility and durability.
These outsole materials are also present in the Saucony Omni 16 and other popular shoes from Saucony. To be more specific, the XT-900 is the tougher rubber of the two. It is located on the tip of the forefoot and the curve of the heel.
These areas are more vulnerable to wear and tear, thus this premium carbon rubber with exceptional traction and durability was added.
Zealot ISO 3 is 33% lighter and more cushioned
The IBR+, on the other hand, has more to do with flexibility. It is approximately 33% lighter and more cushioned compared to the standard blown rubber. This material is placed on the majority of the forefoot, mostly under the medial plantar area of the sole.
Lastly, the outsole was designed with the Tri-Flex tread. The forefoot, mostly, bears a chevron pattern, with indentions through each arrow and between each line.
Saucony’s EverRun ensures the responsiveness
The rest of the tread, especially under the heel area, has trapezoid-like sections with similar indentations. The entire Tri-Flex tread works with the EverRun Topsole for better dispersion of force upon impact.
It also allows the shoe to move together with the runner with lesser upcoming while also providing the necessary traction on common surfaces. The main technology found in the midsole area of the shoe is called Everun. This is mainly responsible for the shoe’s responsiveness.
Provides continuous cushioning on the run
Everun is an extra layer placed nearer to the foot, providing a livelier run while dispersing the impact upon landing. Saucony describes this rubber compound as a mechanism for continuous cushioning.
It works by ensuring smoother heel landings and reduced pressure on the forefoot when gearing up for the toe-off. Saucony saw fit to add a highly elastic sock liner to line the footbed.
This affords more cushioning underfoot, accompanying the underfoot comfort the midsole foam already delivers. Runners also have the option to remove this insole to replace it with Ortholites or other custom inserts.
High level of comfort with soft and non-restrictive wrapping
The upper sports different shoe features that permit a custom fit. Starting with the Isofit, this system is composed of two key properties of the shoe – the sock-like construction combined with the unique lacing system.
The sock-like construction is made of stretchable mesh that hugs the foot in all the right places. Because it has elastic characteristics, it molds to the shape and size of the foot with ease. The level of comfort this material provides is high, with its soft feel and non-restrictive wrapping.
In addition to the mentioned benefits, runners are given the chance to feel enough ventilation from this material. Because it is made up of mesh, air can easily pass through the network of wires, allowing the heat to escape and the foot to breathe.
Saucony Shadow Master Sky Blue Coral-Navy offers a more secure fit
The second component of the Isofit system is the lacing which is connected to bands that extend from the eyestay of the shoe. Tightening the laces will also tighten the bands. This produces a more secure fit on the middle part of the dorsal area of the foot.
Flex Film Overlays were added to lightly support the midfoot. These overlays are not just for aesthetic purposes. They slightly enhance security and snugness without compromising flexibility. The films are also reflective, allowing better visualization when running in low-lighted conditions.
The collar lining of the shoe helps with absorbing moisture. Saucony lined it with Rundry, a lining material that has moisture-wicking properties. Aside from that, runners also benefit from the plush comfort this material delivers.
