antepes (an-teeps) Muscle Runners
antepes is the Latin word for "forefoot"
improve your stride and cadence, and increase your heart rate over a shorter distance and period by shifting the momentum and impact from your joints onto your muscles while running and training
MUSCLE RUNNERS
- Forefoot Cushioning: 27.5 MM (With Insole: 31.5 MM)
- Heel Cushioning: 17.5 MM (With Insole: 21.5 MM)
- Forefoot Gain™️ of 10MM (heel-to-toe gain) - more cushioning under the forefoot than under the heel for phenomenal shock absorption by the musculature of the legs
- Heel Gain™️ of 18MM (heel outsole raised above ground) - for extra ground clearance to avoid rubbing on the ground when forefoot striking
- Weight for Size M8.5: 256g/9oz - So light you might think you're flying
- The forefoot is dropped about 10 MM lower than the heel inside the shoe - Shaped like a running foot so you don't have to push against and fight the shoe

Performace Trainers to Enhance the 4 Planes of Sport
Vertical | Lateral | Forward | Backward
Get Stronger & Healthier by Running and Training with Proper Form
- ForeStrike™️ is enabled by our Forefoot Gain and Heel Gain technologies
- Forefoot Gain™️ provides a negative heel-to-toe drop of between 8-10mm (based on shoe size)
- Heel Gain™️ elevates the heel from the ground about 18mm
- HEELX™️ is our innovative heel-counter that locks in the heel to reduce the shoe’s friction against the Achilles tendon. HEELX™ sits between the ankle (malleolus) bones and the Achilles to secure the heel (calcaneus) while still ensuring full ankle mobility
- ForeSpring™️ Plate is a Dual-Flex Carbon Fiber Plate that is more flexible in the forefoot and more rigid under the arch and heel
- ForeSpring™️ Foam: Dual-Density TPE foam for maximum comfort and performance

Building Calf Muscle
These shoes slowly but surely allowed me to regain stronger calves and legs after taking years off from sports. It took me a short while to get used to the natural stride but it was certainly worth it. Definitely a must have for runners looking to build stronger legs.

Customer Reviews
Tried them a couple of times, they definitely do what they promised!! They push to run forefoot, they makes calves working more, and they make you fly faster than any other running shoes!!! I LOVE THEM, and I’m going to get another pair, as spare shoes!
A beautiful shoe, feels extremely smooth.
The best running I’ve ever put on my feet very comfortable and light weight they feel exactly like a maxfly
I like these as they’re a good transitional shoe to actual Track shoes. They have enough cushioning For your joints, but at the same time while you’re Achilles tendon to fully load up and spring with each step in a sprint or a jump. Highly recommend
As a sprinter this shoe has helped me so much in making sure my foot strikes are with the correct part of the foot. I feel the correct muscles working and I feel myself getting faster. Has to be the best running shoe purchase I have ever made! 10/10
