Women’s Rough Runner – Hot Pink

RUCK. RUN. LIFT. TRAIN. BE STRONGER WITH ROUGH RUNNER™

We built the Rough Runner™ to be lightweight and good for high mileage, on a modern running platform. You’ll recognize this in a comfortable fit, but these are not just normal running shoes. In Special Forces, we would run our asses off on pavement and on tank trails and then get to the physical training — push, pull, carry, drag and roll around in dirt fields with weight and slick. Simply running in a straight line is not enough for our way of life and we needed more versatility to do all the things. This is the inspiration for the Rough Runner™.

Features

GRADIENT DENSITY™ EVA MIDSOLE
There’s no other midsole like it. Custom formulated EVA provides cushioning and rebound with better long-term durability than any other running shoe on the market. No marshmallow here. Gradient Density™ means the EVA has more bounce under the balls of your foot and gradually becomes more stable towards your heel. You can’t see it, but you’ll feel the difference from heel strike to toe off.

VERSATILE ROAD-TO-TRAIL OUTSOLE
Pound the pavement or go off-road. Two different rubber compounds form a single, seamless rubber outsole that performs in even the most demanding terrain. The forefoot rubber is formulated for increased grip and the heel is dense, durable and won’t wear down after miles of running or ruck running.

LIGHTWEIGHT MESH + REINFORCED TPU UPPER
Seamless, one-piece 100D polyester mesh provides breathability and flexibility without cramping your toes. At 330 g/sqm it’s the ideal balance of weight and toughness. High-wear areas are reinforced with a protective TPU film. We targeted the toe area for abrasion resistance and the midfoot to heel area for additional lockdown support.

10MM OFFSET
A 10mm heel-to-toe drop allows for the ideal balance between a running stride and a rucking gait. You have enough of a lift to reduce the strain on your achilles and support your heel strike while still controlling your cadence.

3D MOLDED HEEL LOCK
Comfortable PU foam bolsters lock in the heel to prevent slippage and excessive movement around the ankle. This allows you to secure your heel into the shoe without relying on lace-locking or lacing too tightly.

ANATOMICALLY MOLDED TPU HEEL COUNTER
Anchors your foot with a supportive, injection molded heel counter that stabilizes your heel when you’re doing dynamic, load bearing exercises.

REFLECTIVE PULL TAB
Highly reflective pull tab on the back heel keeps you visible on the road or trail. Stay safe out there when choosing the harder path.

LACE-LOCK EYELETS
Extra top eyelets can be used to create a tight heel lock — commonly called a runner’s loop or lock lace — that prevents heel slippage and excessive movement around the ankle.

CUSTOM HIGH DENSITY INSERT
Dense, PU foam insert custom made to fit the contours of the foot supporting all three (3) arches of the foot — yes, you have three arches in your foot (the medial longitudinal arch, the lateral longitudinal arch and the anterior transverse arch).
