Craft Kype Pro Running Shoe - Women's Shock, 8.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve raced in a lot of supershoes, and the Kype Pro stands out for its balance of snap and comfort. The Xx Foam midsole with Pebax is insanely springy, and paired with the carbon plate, it gives me that race-day pop without feeling harsh. The AeroMesh upper is featherlight and breathable, and I really notice the split heel keeping transitions smooth late in the race when my form starts to fade."" We turn to the Kype Pro Running Shoe when chasing PRs and race-day goals that demand every ounce of efficiency. Crafted for marathon performance, it’s built to combine speed, stability, and comfort in one lightweight design, helping us run further, faster, and with more confidence than ever before. The Pebax-infused Xx Foam midsole offers high rebound and lasting lightness, converting each stride into powerful forward motion. Arris’ 14-gram carbon plate adds tuned stiffness for explosive propulsion, while the split heel design smooths impact absorption and quickens toe-off for efficient transitions. Above, the ultra-light AeroMesh upper wraps the foot in breathable support, keeping us cool and locked in for long-distance efforts. Underfoot, the Craft Lightsole outsole—developed with Vittoria—delivers grip and stability on diverse marathon surfaces, ensuring we stay steady whether the course is wet or dry. With every detail engineered for elite performance, the Kype Pro is our fastest shoe yet, designed to meet the demands of runners pushing past limits and toward their best results."
