Waffle Outsole

Developed using a lightweight rubber outsole, the Zoom Rival ensures extraordinary traction in varied conditions. The durable rubber provides a strong grip and works to protect itself from damage, and protect users from losing control and slipping. The rubber is placed on high wear areas such as the forefoot and heel to increase durability and resist the traumas of heel-strikes. Supplying you with a reliable and long-lasting running buddy. The waffle traction pattern helps to optimize traction in varied conditions whilst the rounded, anatomical heel rolls with the ground for smoother transitions
