Flex grooves help the foot move naturally. They also deliver smoother heel-to-toe transitions. The tread pattern grips the surface in multiple directions.
A shield against impact
The shoe's EVA foam midsole protects the foot against impact. This compound is durable, resilient, and can accommodate natural foot bending without losing its shape. It features an ombre effect at the upper portion which adds to the overall style of the shoe.
Dissipating the shock
Inside the Vionic Miles is a removable EVA footbed. This element enhances the shock attenuation offered by the primary midsole. The mesh that covers it wicks moisture away from the foot. It also features the 1st Ray technology which provides a soft part under the ball of the foot and allows the first metatarsal to move freely.
The Vionic Miles' upper
The Vionic Miles utilizes a dual-layer mesh upper that provides supportive coverage. The material is also breathable which helps in keeping the inside fresh. The interior has a smooth fabric lining that delivers a comfortable in-shoe feel.
Overlays against abrasions
Printed synthetic overlays line the toe box and the quarters. They protect the mesh from abrasion, so the material does not easily tear. Stitched-on TPU overlays form a cage at the midfoot, and they amplify lateral support when the laces are tightened.
There’s also an overlay that wraps the heel and steadies the rearfoot during exercises.
A traditional lace-up closure is found on the midfoot. Users can tighten or loosen the patterned laces to achieve a comfortable fit.
Snug rearfoot section
There’s also a tab at the back of the collar which wearers use to pull up the shoe quickly. The lightly padded tongue and collar lock the foot down. They prevent chafing and keep the foot and ankle comfortable.
