Traxion™
WHAT IS
TRAXION™?
An innovative outsole and lug design that replaces conventional studs. Increased surface area between shoe and ground provides superior ground penetration. The surface area is optimized for better traction, comfort, grip, and performance. Soft outsole materials provide surface adaptability and flexibility.
The type of surface is the main factor in determining the execution of TRAXION™ although some general rules apply throughout the different sports.
FOOT REQUIREMENTS
Grip and friction of an outsole are important features when considering new designs for sports footwear. The need for it varies by sport demands and sport surface.
When an athlete comes into contact with the ground, it is of utmost importance to achieve appropriate grip during landing. During push off, it is essential to avoid losing propulsion forces because of slippage.

TECHNICAL FEATURE
Small surface area at the tip of a TRAXION™ stud. Large surface areas on the sides of the TRAXION™ elements. Large surface area where the TRAXION™ elements connect with the sole. TRAXION™ studs made of abrasion resistant TPU; 'skeleton' transparent base material made of thin Pebax (Equipment Predator Accelerator Cup & Liga). Additional TRAXION™ element which supports the base of the 5th metatarsal head of the foot (Equipment Predator Accelerator Liga). |
MAIN BENEFIT
Penetrates the ground easily, thereby providing greater stability to the player. Give players a greater area to push off against in all directions. Provides a better grip, allowing players to accelerate faster, as well as to turn quicker and sharper. Evenly distributes the pressure over a large surface, thus providing increased comfort when compared to traditional screw-in studs. Makes this Feet You Wear™ shoe ultralight yet exceptionally durable and flexible where needed. Better distributes and reduces stud pressure on firm ground. |

TECHNICAL FEATURE
Small surface area at the tip of the studs. Large surface areas where the TRAXION™ elements connect with the sole. Center lugs. Perimeter lugs. Carbon rubber outsole material. |
MAIN BENEFIT
Penetrates the ground easily, thereby providing greater tracion and stability from footstrike through toe off. Distribute pressure from any sharp objects, protecting the foot and increasing comfort. Positioned laterally to grip while running straight ahead. Positioned longitudinally to grip when an athlete is turning or traversing a slope. Offers long-term durability. |
KEY SELLING POINT
SOCCER/FOOTBALL Combines superior grip of studs with the comfort of a molded shoe on soft ground
TRAIL RUNNING/ADVENTURE Provides superior grip in rugged terrain from heel strike to toe off. Evenly distributes pressure for comfort. Provides protection from sharp objects.
