🧩 What’s Inside Your Shoes: The Tech Behind Every Run – RunMotion

At RunMotion, every detail matters — from the bounce in your stride to the breathability of your uppers. Here’s a look inside the science and innovation that make your shoes perform as hard as you do.

⚡ What’s the difference between foam and carbon plate shoes?

Both types deliver performance — but in different ways:

Foam-based shoes:
Designed for comfort and cushioning, these shoes use responsive foams that absorb impact and return energy to keep your legs fresh. Ideal for daily training, recovery runs, and long distances.
Carbon plate shoes:
Built for speed and efficiency, these include a thin carbon-fiber plate sandwiched inside the midsole. It creates a propulsive “spring” effect that helps you run faster with less fatigue. Perfect for races or tempo runs.

💡 Pro Tip: Alternate between foam and plated shoes — foam for training, carbon for race day.

🌬️ What’s the benefit of breathable mesh uppers?

Our AirWeave Mesh™ technology allows air to circulate freely, keeping your feet cool and dry even during long runs.

Prevents overheating and blisters
Enhances flexibility and comfort
Reduces shoe weight without sacrificing support

This means a smoother, fresher feel mile after mile.

🌱 Are your shoes vegan or sustainable?

We’re proud to say that most RunMotion shoes are vegan-friendly — made without animal-based materials or adhesives.
Our sustainability promise includes:

Recycled polyester mesh uppers
Bio-based foam compounds
Minimal plastic packaging

We’re also working toward 100% carbon-neutral manufacturing by 2027.
