Icebug Aura W RB9X Running Shoes Women, bleu/blanc

Aura is a running shoe with focus on comfort. The airy and very light upper has engineered mesh zones with structure that makes additional reinforcement materials unneccessary, lowering both the weight and the environmental impact. The comfort is further enhanced by the OrthoLite HybridPlus-Bio insock and the wide last. The rear pointing heel shape reduces pressure on the achilleas tendon as well as providing an easy and convenient instep. The heel cup shape keeps the foot in place. The cut-outs around the eyestay makes it wrap perfectly around the foot, adapting seamlessly to each individual preference.

The tongue has elastic bands on the sides, ensuring the absolute best fit regardless of foot shape and giving that snug feeling. The fully cushioned midsole has a 6mm drop and is made of BUGforce and BLOOM foam EVA creating a smooth ride. The BUGforce is not only propelling you forward but also prolongs the midsole compound´s performance and lifetime by not getting compressed as fast as normal EVA. The rubber outsole is designed for asphalt and gravel running, with a lower lug depth. The rubber is open in the middle and in the back, below the heelbone, to give a softer heel strike. The RB9X compound provides reliable traction in both dry and wet conditions.

RB9X
RB9X – Rubber 9 Extreme is Icebug's latest rubber compound development, and it sets a new standard in providing friction. Lab tests (SATRA) show that RB9X outgrips the competition, but still matches the durability of an asphalt running shoe. In the real world, that means much more reliable traction in wet and slippery conditions and on challenging surfaces like rocks. RB9X is definitely a benefit for extremely demanding runners with high expectations on the shoes traction in mixed and tough terrain. RB9X is a new compound and tests show that Icebug really has succeeded.
