HPR™ - as the heel impacts, the precise angle and bevel of the Brooks heel-strike pod sets the heel up in a neutral position to assure that the heel strike alone does not create undesired lateral motion, especially increased rate of pronation. The crumple zone releases the lateral side of the midsole which allows the foot to remain balanced as it phases into the pressure path. Most of our heel strike pods have HPR, a super-durable rubber compound developed specifically by Brooks for longer wear. ... more

S-257™ - this unique midsole compound is formulated to resist compression and rebound more quickly after impact than standard EVAs used in other brands. S257 has been tested to be 15% more durable than EVA which means your 400th mile has the same great ride as your first.

POD TEC - Brooks™ patented Podular Mid-sole/Outsole configurations, MC-Pod, Stable-Pod, Hyper-Pod and Cush-Pod, are engineered to specifically meet the different types of runner's needs. By anatomically engineering a system of "pods" into the midsole and outsole around biomechanically correct flex grooves it enables the shoe to bend and flex more naturally while still supporting the foot at its most critical points. ... more

HYDROFLOW® - Brooks™ patented, silicon-based system is the most unique and effective cushioning system ever applied to a running shoe. Its fluid-filled centre chamber dampens shock at impact and dynamically disperses fluid at a controlled rate around the heel™ cushioning, stabilising and rebounding on every stride. Plus, it's engineered to never wear out. ... more

DRB™ - (DIAGONAL ROLLBAR). When the foot comes in contact with the ground, it has a natural tendency to pronate. To help control this movement, we developed the Diagonal Rollbar. This patented, wedge-shaped piece of high density foam is positioned on the medial side of the midsole to reduce the rate and speed of pronation. ... more

DRB™ ACCEL - to promote natural movement between the heel and forefoot, Brooks developed the DRB Accel. This component utilises varying durometers of thermoplastics which provide the torsional midfoot support runners need. ... more
