Shoe science - HRC (High Rebound Compound)

Whilst Grid provides cushioning in the rearfoot of the shoe, HRC is a dynamic compound which is used in the forefoot. It is specifically designed to follow the centre of pressure beneath the metatarsal heads during toe off.

The High Rebound Compound is made from an exclusive polymer that attenuates shock over an extended period of time, resists compression set and provides exceptional cushioning without inhibiting flexibility.

Designed to work in conjunction with rearfoot Grid, the HRC system provides the maximum in bio-mechanically correct shock absorption, responsiveness and cushioning.

HRC is used in the forefoot of almost all of Saucony technical running shoes. In addition the Grid Trigon 2 has HRC in the Grid squared system in the rearfoot of the shoe.
