Description

New to the running game, and hitting it right out of the park is this exceptional local running shoe brand Pivot&Run.

This shoe is ideal for runners of all levels looking for a strong cushioned shoe for your short to ultra distance running distances.

Their first model is the Forge V1, named because it was literally Forged under level 5 lockdown 2020 (how cool is that?) and symbolises something we all need to do in life when at a cross roads -> Forge Ahead. As the first shoe in their footwear line up, the Forge V1 provides a phenomenal underfoot feel and bounce to it, thanks to their proprietary compression moulded EVA (HaemFloat) which offers a truly unique and bouncy ride, built into an incredibly lightweight package. The mid-forefoot area locks down the foot nicely, whilst opening up to provide an above average toe box area to accommodate foot swelling on your longer runs. The double woven upper, is durable and well ventilated whilst also providing a moisture wicking lining above the foot for comfort and reduction of blisters and hotspots. The shoe is built on a 8mm drop platform with an “Internal Pivot Axis” to enhance forward motion.
