Gravel is a state of mind.

Introducing a new generation of gravel shoes that master all surfaces.

Introducing The Gravel Pack

2025-04-24Shoes

Run free—through the city, up hills, or into the unknown. That's gravel running. And your shoes should handle it all.

We have developed a new generation of gravel shoes – a collection of five pro-grade hybrid shoes built to conquer any terrain and any ultra-distance.

What is a Gravel Running Shoe?

Gravel shoes are designed for unpaved roads, rugged paths, and loose terrain. With outsoles developed together with Italian cycling brand Vittoria, they feature tread patterns inspired by gravel bike tires—delivering superior grip, durability, and adaptability. Combining stability, protection, and responsiveness, they’re made for runners who embrace gravel-specific adventures.
