The footwear model has a versatile design, created to comfortably combat conditions of [water, ice, and dirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nnormal-kjerag-brut) whilst running. The model also features a special 'guide hole' throughout the soles -- these are essentially miniature holes that are carefully placed to install studs, which are for gripping onto ice or to drain moisture when running on muddy or wet conditions. The uppers are constructed from mesh materials and accented with synthetic overlays, sitting atop a PWRFOAM midsole as topped with an EVERUN topsole. The PWRRTRAC outsoles are made from rubber as an additional grip and a high-tech cushioning system delivers comfort. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Custom-fit Running Shoes:** Opportunity to offer highly personalized footwear to consumers. - **Adaptable Outsole Design:** Potential for adjustable outsole designs to meet specific terrain needs. - **Waterproof Footwear:** Increasing demand for waterproof footwear for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. ### Who This Affects Most - **Athletic Footwear:** Adapting customizable features for athletic footwear could appeal to consumers who prioritize comfort and performance. - **Outdoor Gear:** Growing market for durable and weather-resistant shoes and boots designed for outdoor enthusiasts. - **Technology:** Opportunities for technology firms to enhance the comfort and performance of running shoes, through materials and innovative design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elite Ultramarathon Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merrell-mtl-adapt-matryx.md) - [Enhanced Water-Resistant Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goretex-collection.md) - [Harsh Terrain Trail Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mount-to-coast-t1.md) - [Traction-Optimized Running Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roam-trail-running-shoe.md) - [Lace-Free Trail Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haven-x-norda-003-quarry.md) - [Ultra-Distance Runner Trail Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norda-001-rz-magma.md) - [Trail Running Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teva-aventrail.md) - [Trail-Inspired Runners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/progrid-omni-9-1.md) - [Ultramarathon Trail Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merrell-agility-peak-6.md)
