Scientifically Validated Technologies

The technology in our running shoes is almost 100 % derived from scientific knowledge and biomechanical research. Every element of the sole is scientifically justified and based on biomechanical findings.

With the U-TECH™ technology, we have approached a biomechanical dream and linked injury prevention and performance improvement. Mechanical stresses on the sensitive knee joint and Achilles tendon can be reduced, and at the same time, by avoiding unnecessary muscle work, performance, and thus running efficiency, is improved. Running simply becomes easier.

BIOMECHANICS EXPERT

PROF. DR. GERT-PETER BRÜGGEMANN

Prof. Dr. Gert-Peter Brüggemann is more than just a household name to true running enthusiasts. For many decades, he was head of the Institute for Biomechanics and Orthopedics at the German Sports University Cologne. As an internationally recognized specialist in running motion and the development of state-of-the-art running shoes, he now has over 30 years of scientific consulting work for the giants of the industry under his belt.


Peter and his research have been largely responsible for numerous groundbreaking innovations in the running shoe industry over the past quarter century. His expertise and experience form the scientific foundation of True Motion – for runner-centered, functional innovation without marketing ifs and buts.

RUNNING SHOE ANALYSIS FROM ONE OF THE

MOST ADVANCED BIOMECHANICAL LABS IN EUROPE

Due to our cooperation with the Institute for Functional Diagnostics (IFD Cologne), we have one of the most modern biomechanical laboratories in Europe at our disposal. For the kinematic and kinetic examinations of our running shoes, established procedures in research are used. These are, for example, 3D motion analysis – a MotionCapture system consisting of twelve infrared cameras and software with two synchronized force plates – electromyography, 3D whole-body scan, 3D foot scan and plantar pressure distribution measurement.
