Scott Supertrac 3.0 GORE-TEX Women's Trail Running Shoes
The most popular mountain performance shoe with an All Terrain Traction outsole to handle everything from the muddiest valley floor to rocky mountain ridges. Scott's best-selling model in the collection features a nylon ripstop upper to add higher levels of durability and also keeps you dry thanks to the GORE-TEX technology.
Ripstop Mesh Upper
For the upper, Scott has used an extremely breathable and lightweight ripstop mesh, which will provide multiple benefits to the shoe. The material is extremely breathable which means that as you start to exercise and warm air starts to build up inside the shoe, it is removed and then replaced, keeping you feeling cool and fresh. In addition to this, the moisture produced from sweat can escape out of the mesh which will retain comfort and climate control. Surrounding the upper is a GORE-TEX membrane which will provide the shoe with durable waterproofing. The thin layer prevents the entry of moisture into the shoe, perfect for damp and long days out where keeping your feet dry is essential for comfort. As well as this, the membrane will allow air to pass in and out of it for ventilation. Constructed with a no-sew design, the upper will reduce the risk of irritation from causing as there are no seams or stitches that will irritate by rubbing and chafing. The forefoot and sides are protected by firmer material which will instantly absorb bumps and heavy forces placed against it, softening the impact placed on vulnerable areas of the feet. The traditional lacing system is easy to tighten to a comfortable and secure fit, whilst the form-fitting tongue will sit gently on the ankle and act as a locking system for your foot. A heel loop on the back assists in putting the shoes on and off while the toe guard helps protect you from any rocks or uneven surfaces.
eRIDE Midsole
Within the midsole, Scott has used eRIDE, an innovative midsole design that will not only provide a good level of cushioning and protection from underfoot but will also promote a faster and more efficient running style, helping you to save energy and go further. The eRIDE midsole will promote a more dynamic running position by reducing the impact of heel strikes. This means that more energy will be able to go into strides rather than wasted on heavy impacts with the ground. In addition, the energy created will be transferred into rebound which will improve running fluidity. Working alongside the eRIDE midsole is AeroFoam+ technology to provide a highly technical and responsive ride. The AeroFoam+ is soft and will provide soft cushioning which provides less stress placed on the joints and bones in the feet, reducing fatigue and the risk of injuries. The midsole will also absorb shocks from uneven terrain which will stop sharp pressure from reaching the foot. This will keep you in comfort over a long period and also give you the confidence to tackle any terrain.
All Terrain Traction Outsole
An All Terrain Traction Outsole will help you stay in control no matter what terrain you're on. The rubber used is extremely durable, which means that it will be able to retain all of its properties over a long course of time. The lugs are strategically positioned to give you outstanding traction and control. The lugs can dig into the ground, assisting with takeoffs by securing your foot and providing a firm base to take off. It will also dig into to ground as you start to brake, giving you full control at all times.
