WHY CHOOSE A LIGHTWEIGHT SHOE

The research and development studies demonstrated that a more lightweight product can improve running performance by saving more energy.To design the KS LIGHT, there was no compromise on comfort and durability but the choice was made to use some lighter components and an optimised sole design.Result The KIPRUN KS LIGHT shoe is 12% lighter than the KIPRUN LONG.Its weight 290g in size 9.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE CUSHIONING

In order to run long distances while feeling as comfortable as possible and achieve good times, we have devoted special attention to the sole using 2 technologies.- K-Ring ring located in the heel to improve cushioning at the rear and spread the shockwave in order to effectively protect the body (joints, back, knees, etc.)- Kalensole for improving cushioning by 34%, energy response by an additional 25% and achieving a durability of 1000km when compared with a conventional foam.

DID YOU SAY STABLE?

A stable shoe facilitates foot motion and reduces the control effort made by the foot and heel, providing relaxed support.We have increased the surface supporting the foot and added reinforcement at the back of the heel.

THE COMFORT OF THE KS LIGHT

In order to run regularly for longer, it is essential that the feet feel comfortable.We have therefore sought to improve the level of comfort thanks to the following- a new collar at the rear of the sockliner holds the heel securely in place in the shoe so that it feels extremely snug.- a preformed sole made of open-cell PU (polyurethane) foam.- a revised forefoot area that prevents any discomfort.- a seamless, single-piece of fabric that reduces the risk of friction.

EXCELLENT ROAD-HOLDING ABILITY ON WET ROADS AND BENDS

Our sole was designed like a car tyre for effective running without any loss of control when it rains.The new geometry of the sole combined with a new rubber component provides the KIPRUN KS LIGHT with excellent grip on wet terrain, even at top speed.

ADAPTED TO ALL TYPES OF STRIDES

Thanks to its exclusive K-ONLY technology and a denser foam located under the first metatarsal, there is no more need to find out your stride type (over-pronator, under-pronator, neutral)!A six-month study conducted with the Luxembourg Institute of Health* demonstrated that the K-Only technology suited all stride types.The study in a few figures- 372 runners- more than 12,558 training sessions- 12,094 hours of exercise- 116,723km covered

KIPRUN KS LIGHT DROP

The height difference between the back and front of the sole is 10 mm.

A TEAM OF PASSIONATE ATHLETES TO OFFER A UNIQUE RUNNING EXPERIENCE

The Kiprun KS Light is the fruit of the lessons learnt over more than 10 years at Decathlon.Caroline and Pierre-Emmanuel (product managers), St?�phane (project engineer) and Nicolas (designer), who are running enthusiasts, develop your Kiprun shoes with the help of a network of ambassadors the runners at Decathlon, sports coaches and you!In this way, we choose the components, create the prototypes and test and validate the products with laboratory and field tests.

HOW TO SELECT YOUR SIZE

To ensure that your feet feel as comfortable as possible, choose one size up from your usual shoe size.There should be a 1cm gap between your big toe and the front of the shoe because your feet swell during physical exercise.Additional EU half sizes available in 42.5 / 43.5 / 44.5.
