ST-5
ST-5 is a minimalist road shoe for runners seeking a close-to-barefoot feel. A lower platform than its predecessor pairs minimal ZipFoam cushioning with zero drop. Breathable recycled mesh combines a roomy forefoot with secure midfoot and heel hold. Strategically placed rubber adds traction and durability, while a collapsible heel counter packs flat for travel, daily runs, and walking.
