Ultra Traction is a protective trail shoe for middle-to-long-distance runs on technical ground. A durable mesh upper and TPU reinforcement guard against rocks and branches, while an inner knit bootie supports fit and helps keep debris out. FASTFOAM and compression-molded EVA provide cushioning; an EXTS rubber outsole with mud-oriented lugs supports traction during braking and push-off.
