ZigTech running shoes are designed to improve running efficiency and reduce stress on muscles through their unique zigzag foam midsole design and flexible plate that disperses impact forces. Testing of over 17,500 miles of running over 24 months showed these shoes reduce impact by up to 20% compared to traditional midsoles. Their benefits are ideal for fitness runners and athletes in training by enabling a smoother ride and less wear on muscles.
