Tech Specs
The Details
Stability
The Zinal 3 contains our J-Frame(TM) technology designed to prevent excessive inward roll, or overpronation, without overcorrecting your gait.
The Zinal 3 contains features that make the shoe inherently stable, such as a wide base and our Active Foot Frame, for a moderate amount of stability that is still designed to work for neutral gaits.
The Zinal 3 features a symmetrical bed of cushion without additional prescriptive technologies. Designed to provide the support you want and nothing you don't.

Stable
Cushion
The Zinal 3 features a low-profile cushion bed that keeps your foot closer to the ground, and utilizes a firmer material designed to provide an efficient push-off.
The Zinal 3 is designed to provide protective cushion while maintaining a responsive toe-off for when you want to go faster.
The Zinal 3 features a higher bed of soft cushion, designed to provide a forgiving impact and ride.
