Best reviews of 💯 Kiprun KD Plus, Running 👞 Shoes, Men’s 🤩

Want some cushioning and propulsion? The design of its sole means that this running shoe provides powerful energy rebound for your running outings.

Our design teams developed this men’s running shoe to offer you cushioning and acceleration for running outings and racing.

Drop 8 mm

The height difference between the back and front of the sole is 8 mm.

The importance of the cushioning

To give you optimal comfort and performance when running, we concentrated our attention on the sole, which features 2 concepts:
– K-Ring: a ring located in the heel to improve cushioning at the rear and spread the shock wave in order to provide effective protection for the body: joints, back, knees, etc.
– Kalensole: improves cushioning by 34% and energy return by 25% when compared with conventional foam and lasts up to 1,000 km (620 miles).

The comfort of the KD500

In order to run regularly over long distances, foot comfort is of the utmost importance.
So, we tried to improve the level of comfort with the following:
– an ultra-comfortable ‘half-slipper’ upper
– a thicker sole that provides enhanced cushioning at the forefoot
– a revised forefoot area
– a seamless, single piece of fabric to reduce friction

Rebound with each stride

Between the sole geometry and the Kalensole foam, the Kiprun KD500 improves propulsion (acceleration) with each stride. You can now make progress and improve your personal best times from 10 km (6 miles) to the marathon distance.

Why choose a lightweight shoe?

The research and development studies have shown that a lighter product improves running performance by reducing energy consumption.
To design the KD500, there was no compromise in terms of comfort and durability and the decision was made to use lighter components and an optimized sole design.
As a result, The Kiprun KD500 shoe is 4% lighter than the Kiprun Fast.
Weight: 9.4 oz in size 10.

Adapted to all types of strides

With the exclusive K-Only technology and denser foam located under the first metatarsal, you no longer need to know your stride type: over-pronator, under-pronator, or neutral)!
A 6-month study conducted with the Luxembourg Institute of Health* showed that the K-Only concept suits all strides.
The key figures of the study:
– 372 runners
– over 12,558 training sessions
– 12,094 hours of exercise
– 116,723 km (72,528 miles) covered

Excellent road-holding ability on wet roads and bends

Our sole is designed like a car tire for running performance without losing control in wet conditions.
The new geometry of the sole combined with a new rubber component provides the Kiprun KD500 with excellent grip on wet terrain, even at top speed.
