Engineered for race day(s), the 005 is the lightest, fastest, and most stable super shoe ever crafted for trail runners.

A pure Arnitel® TPEE foam midsole allows for exceptional responsiveness, extreme durability and best-in-class energy return, redefining what trail running super shoe performance can and should feel like.

We recommend to go up 1/2 size (US) from your normal size.

Speed
Offering maximum energy return with every step without compromising stability. An Arnitel® midsole propels the 005 into a realm of trail super shoe performance entirely of its own kind.

Breathability
An open mesh Bio-Dyneema® upper weave pattern allows for maximum breathability and rapid water drainage. A smooth microsuede tongue that molds to the foot and is detailed with perforation to reduce heat.

Lightness
At 177g, the 005 is the lightest super shoe ever crafted for trail running. Through obsessive iterating of the shoe, we were able to shave weight in every possible area without sacrificing performance or durability.

Durability
While most super shoes are engineered for race day, the 005 is engineered for race days — plural. The combined use of the world’s most advanced materials and compounds allows for sustained super shoe performance over an unparalleled amount of mileage through all terrain and conditions.

Innovation

Open Mesh Bio-Dyneema
An open mesh Bio-Dyneema and recycled upper is impossibly strong and featherlight. The weave pattern allows for maximum breathability and rapid water drainage.

Megagrip Elite
Featuring the world's first release of Vibram Megagrip Elite rubber. This is a race day compound, which is the grippiest and lightest formulation ever created by Vibram.

Hi-Vis
Reflective piping along the upper adds hi-vis to the shoe, increasing visibility whenever necessary.

TPEE Insoles
Comes with two insoles. A moulded one already inside and an even lighter weight die-cut insole for shaving even more weight on race day.

005 Fit-Lock System
Featuring a new interior foot binding technology engaged via the laces and to ensure unwavering stability. A minimal heel collar has substantial interior pods for further lockdown and minimal debris entry.

Arnitel Midsole
Featuring an entirely pure Arnitel (TPEE) midsole unlike any shoe ever has before. This allows for the 005 to be incredibly lightweight and responsive while remaining highly durable.

Microsuede Tongue
A smooth, perforated microsuede tongue moulds to the foot and allows for heat to escape during high intensity efforts.
