Every sport loads
the foot differently.

Load and recommendation.

What the load does, and which build answers it.

Sport	Load	Recommendation
Running	Thousands of identical impacts. The arch gives way as fatigue sets in.	Ultimate Comfort for most runners. Professional as mileage rises. Raw Performance on race day.
Tennis	Lateral load changes and abrupt stops. The foot is pushed sideways in the shoe.	Ultimate Comfort for regular play. Professional for enthusiasts. Raw Performance for direct contact with the court.
Soccer	A tight boot, hard ground, almost no room.	Raw Performance in most cases. Professional for indoors. Ultimate Comfort where the boot allows it.
Basketball	Jumps and landings. Peak load under the forefoot and the heel.	Ultimate Comfort as standard. Professional for heavy court time.
Road Bike	Constant pressure on a small area. No air in the shoe.	Raw Performance. Every millimetre counts. And it breathes.
MTB Cleat	Constant pressure, plus hard impacts from the trail.	Raw Performance for power transfer. Professional on long days. Ultimate Comfort for weekend riders.
MTB Flat	The foot holds itself. Off the bike as often as on it.	Professional. Raw Performance out in the dirt. Ultimate Comfort in the park.
Ski Alpine	A tight shell, no room to give.	Raw Performance. Direct, precise, under control. Ultimate Comfort for training days.
Ski Freeski	Jumps, rotations, hard impulses.	Ultimate Comfort or Professional. Cushioning here is performance, not comfort. Professional when the boot leaves less room.
Ice Hockey	A tight boot. Sweat like a flood. Everything goes into the blade.	Raw Performance. Ultimate Comfort for training days.
Golf	Five hours of walking. Torque through the swing.	Ultimate Comfort.
Work	Standing without moving, hard floors, the same posture all day.	Ultimate Comfort. Cushioning here is performance, not comfort.
Leathers	The same demands in a closed leather shoe. Less room, less air.	Professional or Ultimate Comfort. Raw Performance only if you know the shoe has the room.
Hiking	Long descents, uneven ground, a heavy pack. The heel takes the brakes, the forefoot the climbs.	Professional for most hikers. Ultimate Comfort on long, loaded days.
Athletics	Sprints, jumps, direction changes. Short, sharp peaks with little recovery.	Professional. Raw Performance for competition.
Sneakers	Everyday walking and standing in a soft, roomy shoe. Low peaks, long duration.	Ultimate Comfort.

Twelve hours on your feet is an endurance sport — which is where the professional case comes from.
