The waterproof version of our first real road running shoe for those that want to keep logging miles all year long.
NewRun is the first real road running shoe from Icebug and it aims at all those that want to keep logging miles all year long. Why deviate from (or cancel!) the regular workout routine only because conditions got wintry? High comfort has been in focus when developing this shoe and then a waterproof GORE-TEX® upper crowned with the BOA® Fit System were obvious features to add. Low temperatures don’t go well with a narrow fit so the last has a roomy toe box and a straight toe line. The sole is well cushioned and its wide base both stability and long distance comfort are achieved. BUGrip outsole with dynamic steel studs makes running on icy surfaces feel like a walk in a park.
For what: Running at winter roads, gravel roads and city parks.
Why we made it: To make a winter road running shoe for those looking for extra comfort.
BUGrip® Technology Performance Information
The purpose of the BUGrip® technology is to provide traction on slippery surfaces. The manufacturing of outsoles with this technology is a complex process. Since the most important component is rubber – a natural material which performance is not possible to entirely control – there might be cases of premature loss of studs from the outsole. Therefore, outsoles with BUGrip® technology are designed and manufactured with a surplus of studs. The function of the technology is maintained even if losing 3-4 studs on one outsole. After usage in wet conditions, the head or sides of the studs might get a surface layer of rust. However, the relevant part of the stud for providing traction is the carbide tip, and this will not be affected.
Warning: No guarantee against slipping. Products with the BUGrip® technology are not recommended for indoor use or on sensitive surfaces.
