A flat, wide cross-training shoe for everything that is not a maximal lift - carries, conditioning, machines, and the walk either side.
Engineered knit upper with a rope guard through the midfoot, on a flat 4mm-drop sole wide enough at the forefoot to stand on without rolling.
Softer underfoot than the Anchor Lifter and firmer than a running shoe, which is the compromise a training shoe is. If you want either extreme this is the wrong shoe, and the page says so rather than letting you find out.
The specification
Everything we know about this item, stated plainly. The same record is printed on the card in the box.
- Fit
- Runs TRUE TO SIZE and slightly WIDE at the forefoot, which is deliberate. The knit gives about a quarter of a size over the first week. Take your normal athletic size; if you are narrow-footed, consider the half size down.
- How it ages
- The knit relaxes in the first week and then holds. The outsole wears first at the outer forefoot if you do any real running in it, which is what a 4mm drop is not really for. Expect the midsole to soften noticeably by about 300 hours of use; that is when a training shoe is finished, even though it still looks fine.
- Composition
- Engineered knit upper with a TPU rope guard; compression-moulded EVA midsole; solid rubber outsole with a flat forefoot pad
- Colourways
- Black, Bone
- Weight
- 312g per shoe at US 10. Heel 18mm, forefoot 14mm - a 4mm drop.
- Made
- Knitted, cut and lasted in Vietnam.

Chest is measured pit to pit and doubled. Length is the high point of the shoulder to the hem. Waist is the relaxed waistband, measured flat and doubled. Inseam is the crotch seam to the hem. Measure a garment you already wear and compare — that is more reliable than measuring yourself.
Care
- Wipe or hand wash the knit cold. Take the insole out first.
- Air dry only. Never a dryer and never a radiator.
- Do not bleach a Bone upper - it yellows rather than whitens.
Cautions
- Not a running shoe. A 4mm drop and a firm midsole are wrong for distance.
- Not a lifting shoe either - no raised heel, and the midsole compresses.
- The knit snags on a rough rope or a plate edge.
- Bone shows everything a gym floor has on it, permanently.
