INTRODUCTION

The Grid Fastwitch 5 is a moderate feature, minimum support shoe designed for speedwork and racing. It is built with a semi-curved shape.

CUSHIONING

To keep weight down, this shoe contains no additional cushioning technologies.

MIDSOLE

Dual Density SSL EVA uses high density EVA in the midfoot to control overpronation, and a SSL (Saucony Super Lite) midsole material throughout the remainder of the shoe for lightweight comfort, rebound and durability.
Midfoot Support Bridge is a thermoplastic unit that extends from the heel through the midfoot for increased torsional rigidity.

UPPER

Open Mesh covers the entire upper and is a breathable lightweight fabric.

OUTSOLE

XT-900 is a carbon rubber material that offers durable traction.
EVA+ is utilized in the forefoot for increased traction.
