'The Terraclaw' is the name of a pair of award-winning comfortable running shoes that were designed by Matthew Head.
What's most different about the model from others is its sole, which is covered in a useful sticky rubber and thick grips which ensure that runners can get through any terrain with ease. This rubber is split into two different zones: one that is extra sticky and another that boasts a harder surface so that endurance is increased.
With this, the feet move more fluidly and are better protected during activity as enough support is granted without comprising the softness of the comfortable running shoes. The Terraclaw is therefore lightweight, flexible, versatile and durable -- forming to feet perfectly so that runners aren't carrying around access weight which can slow them down.
