Gaviota 3 - Dynamic Stability

A premium stability shoe, the Gaviota 3 overdelivers on plushness. It offers maximal cushioning and maximal support. Geared for a wide variety of athletes, this reliable road shoe was engineered to provide a balanced ride over any distance. Because the J-shape of the sole runs from the inside of the foot along the heel to the outside, the sole carries the name 'J-Frame'. The J-Frame uses a foam with a higher density. The high density provides more stability and effectively supports the heel and inside of the foot. This stimulates a smooth and natural settlement of the feet.


Arahi 6 - Dynamic Stability

The Arahi 6 delivers the perfect balance of plushness and support. Lightweight. Stable. Unmatched. Surprisingly light for stability shoe, the Arahi comes grounded in the stabilizing J-Frame.

Speedgoat 4

Most importantly, they added a more accommodating fit in the toe box for a more comfortable ride. Grippy on the uphill and secure on the downhill, the Speedgoat 4 is badass on every trail.


Challenger ATR 6

As the name Challenger ATR 6 suggests, this adaptable, all-terrain shoe defies convention — performing light on the trail and smooth on the street, thanks to its midsole geometry and outsole construction.
