Light The Fuse With Merrell's New Hybrid All Terrain Running Shoe

LONDON - March 19, 2014 - PRLog -- February 2014

The new Allout Fuse, from Merrell, the world’s leading rugged outdoor footwear brand*, is a running shoe designed to encourage more efficient natural running form that has been developed to provide the ultimate performance when running on both road and trail during the same run.

Developed in conjunction with the Rebound Physical Therapy Lab led by Jay Dicharry, MPT, CSC. UniFly^TM technology promotes natural running form and reduces stress on the body while increasing power and effectiveness through an anatomically contoured UniFly^TM foot wrap that is in continuous contact with the 3 main arches of the feet. Continuous contact with the arch acts to relax the foot, conserving energy and allows for a larger and more efficient contraction and recoil on each and every stride - resulting in increased mobility.

UniFly^TM technology then extends into the sole system with two impact protection zones of ultra-resilient, strategically placed foam ‘shock’ pods ensuring a stable takeoff and soft landing, distributing impact and providing great feedback from the ground.

Grip and control is then provided by a versatile and adaptable outsole that incorporates a circular rubber lug design that allows each lug to move independently, providing multi-directional contact and increased surface area for a highly agile, slip-free ride.

A combination of work in-lab and with athletes in the field has allowed Allout Fuse to match as closely as possible the natural shape and movement of the foot. They are available in a range of colours including Blue & Lime for men and Black & Eggshell Blue for women.
