Avia - A398W (White/Oasis Blue/Chrome Silver/French/Vanilla) - Women's: DCS Plus(R) maximizes stability and cushioning with two interacting dual cantilever(R) units. The top side cradles your heel keeping it centered directly under your body while using the body's own heel fat to cushion the stride. The bottom Cantilever(R) and pressurized cushioning chamber act like a trampoline to soften impact, stabilize the heel, and return energy to the stride. Avia's FOM(tm) technology in the forefoot provides superior cushioning. Anatomical Cradle improves both motion control and shock absorption by mimicking the bottom of your heel in your midsole. A cup-like shape in the midsole, created through an anatomically correct last, literally cradles you heel, holding it right where the foot's own natural padding and the shoes cushioning will absorb the most impact. This translates into less shock on the rest of the body. The cradle also centers and holds the heel firmly in place to reduce twisting on both ankles and knees. FlexFom(tm) midsole compound mimics the way your foot absorbs shock and is located in key impact areas, much the same as the fat pads your foot. Made of extremely soft, yet dense material, fom(tm) conforms to your foot on impact for excellent cushioning and comfort, then bounces back to its original shape after each impact. Leather, synthetic, and mesh upper. Removable molded Durapontex sockliner. Compression molded EVA midsole. Solid rubber outsole with Squish lugs in forefoot and a midfoot shank.
