Speed lacing: Elasticated laces that you don't need to tie. Slip your shoes on and off with ease and speed. Tip: If you need a tighter fit, just retie the knots at the ends. Standard lacing: Classic shoelaces, keeps your feet secure. Hook and loop fastener: Used to secure powerstraps on our shoes. Press together to close, pull apart to open. Star lacing: An elasticated lace looped in a star-crossed shape keeps you extra secure in the shoe, providing stability and support. For more lacing techniques, read this article.

Heel to toe drop is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot. In a shoe with a drop of 7mm, your heel will sit 7mm higher than your forefoot. Shoes with a lower drop tend to place more load on the ankles and are generally better for midfoot and forefoot strikers. Shoes with a higher drop tend to place more load on the knees and hips and generally better for heel strikers.
