The GEL technology in the heel is designed to absorb shock during impact, providing enhanced cushioning and a softer feel underfoot, which helps reduce fatigue and discomfort.
The lifespan of the shoes depends on usage frequency, intensity, and individual biomechanics. For regular use in light activities, they typically last between 300-500 miles or 6-12 months.
