Avia - A261W (Chrome Silver/Steel Grey/Seaspray Blue) - Women's: ARC Technology(tm) plate in the heel adds a mechanical element to Avia's proven Cantilever(R) cushioning technology. The plate follows the Cantilever(R) shape adding structure and increasing durability. The injected ARC(R) plate provides added stability and support upon heel strike and additional spring at liftoff as the plate returns to it's original shape. The Cantilever(R) centers the heel over a concave sole. The concave sole acts like a trampoline to soften impact, stabilize the heel and provide increased energy return. 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. Breathable mesh upper with leather overlays. Removable molded EVA sockliner. 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.
