The 3 'Fit Points' That Create The Best Fitting Sneaker:
Balance
Precision fit in the forefoot area to promote stability and balance. Our toe box shape is more round than oval, which allows toes to rest in a natural position which protects them and helps prevent injury.
Comfort
Relaxed fit in the midfoot area results in a sneaker that fits more people. It accommodates a taller foot, as well as allowing volume in the instep area. A clever fit ratio that is the ultimate in comfort, promotes easy on / easy off and creates that 'slipper like fit' YORK Athletics is known for.
Support
Snug fit in the heel area promotes ‘heel lock down’ which is critical in a performance sneaker to perform at your best. Our molded foam collar and sockliner heel sidewall will keep your heel in place while you’re in motion which will help prevent injury.
