Technical details
Upper: Recycled polyester mesh 100%.
Sole: Recycled rubber with natural and synthetic components.

Size
The measurement is taken from the heel to the longest toe, resting the heel on the wall.

That is the size of the insole, remember to add 0.5 centimeters to provide the space needed for the foot not to be cramped.
Specific characteristics
Optimum cushioning and grip: It offers soft and safe landings while ensuring a firm connection with the ground.

Rope-Tech protection: An innovative sole, specifically designed to maximize grip on rope ascents, which also offers solid protection against shoe abrasion.

V-Grip zone: Improves durability and offers exceptional protection by resisting wear while providing additional traction.

Glide and Lock Heel System: It provides a firm and stable base for exercises such as the rowing and pine push-ups.

Row Locking System: Locks the heel to provide greater safety and control during your rowing sessions.
Secure laces: The laces are engineered to stay snug and secure, even during the most intense workouts.
Comfort and health
Wide Toe Box: The wide toe box allows the toes to spread naturally, which promotes better balance and stability. This benefits movements such as split jerkeliminating the need for minor adjustments and allowing the toes to perform their natural function.

Deformation prevention: The roomy design prevents toe compression, which, in turn, decreases the risk of developing long-term problems such as bunions.
Immediate comfortThe design adapts to the foot instantly, providing a solid foundation for intense workouts.
Customized adaptive template
Dual material: The insole integrates TPE with a viscoelastic layer, which ensures even weight distribution on the sole of the foot and enhances comfort even during prolonged workouts.
3 mm hybrid drop: It offers the perfect balance between stability and control for both racing and heavy lifting.
TPU reinforced heel: Improves stability during lifting under load, providing greater control.
Ideal for
Everyone benefits from foot-shaped shoes (as obvious as it may seem) and with a minimum drop to simulate our nature, so that the foot is functional and does not atrophy.
But in particular, this shoe is ideal for medium and wide feet, which are the ones that suffer the most if they do not wear a shoe with enough room in the toe box. Training in shoes with a pointed toe (as most of the models on the market are) increases the risk of crowded toes, bunions, claw toes...

Sustainability
Recycled materials: The 90% shoe is composed of recycled materials, including recycled polyester and a combination of natural and recycled rubber in the outsole.

Recycling program: Customers have the opportunity to return their used sneakers and get up to โฌ20 store credit.
Conclusion
The Hybrid feels like a minimalist shoe thanks to the wide toe box and minimal drop, but with the added bonus of being a shoe designed specifically for CrossFit.
This means that you have the benefits of a shoe that is healthy for your feet while you don't have to worry about destroying the shoe when doing wall exercises, or rope workouts... as you do when training in any other minimalist shoe.
The sole is not as thin and flexible as that of a minimalist 100% shoe.
The name Hybrid is the best definition for this model because it you'll have the best of both worlds: minimalism/barefoot and CrossFit..
