What does "designed specifically for women" actually mean? For us, it's a shoe perfectly adapted to the shape of your feet, with a softer collar, an anatomical design that surrounds the foot and a lower density ADV-C frame for increased stability. In the mid-rise GORE-TEX version of the X-ULTRA 4, all this is combined with waterproof protection and a non-slip outsole for stability on uphill and downhill runs, so you can enjoy total freedom and maximum breathability.
Increased stability
The new ADV-C frame targets articulation on the outer side of the foot to optimize stability without restricting your movements, while the higher cut provides extra ankle support.
Traction on all terrains
The Contagrip® MA outsole grips the ground, even when it's wet or slippery, offering more control, especially on downhills.
