NW 900 breathable Nordic walking shoe for competition - blue

Nordic walking is a sport in its own right. That's why Marc, Séverine and David, accompanied by competitive Nordic walkers, developed this new NW 900 shoe. A brand new flexible and dynamic sole with optimal grip. We kept the gaiter to stop small stones from getting in and the lace-holder to prevent laces from trailing. Time for you to test out these new sensations!

In Nordic walking, you place the heel on the ground first, then roll out the foot until the toes hit the ground for propulsion. These shoes provide optimal flexibility and enhanced cushioning under the heel and metatarsus, the areas that suffer the most when walking.

The exclusive Flex-H concept follows the natural action of the foot thanks to three flex grooves in a H pattern. Studies undertaken in Decathlon SportsLab have identified the metacarpophalangeal joints are both the flexion zone and the main support zone of the foot in fitness walking. Thus, our design teams placed flex grooves on both sides of this joint in order to help walking while remaining comfortable.

- Choose the right shoe size. When walking, you do not necessarily need to take one size up.- Choose a shoe whose shape is suitable for your foot- Adjust/tighten the laces to ensure your foot is supported properly and don't hesitate to re-lace your shoes during your walk- Avoid new socks when wearing your new shoes for the first time- Use socks which are higher than the built-in sock liner

Nordic walking is performed with special walking poles on all terrains to drive you forward and tone your whole body.

Nordic walking is good for overall fitness and can be enjoyed by everyone. It helps tone the body, improves breathing, is effective when it comes to weight loss and strengthens bones. As well as all the physical benefits, practising this outdoor sport also contributes to a feeling of well-being. For more information, please visit www.kalenji.com
