GET FIT TRAINING

Founded by Joseph William Foster, in 1895 in

Holcombe Brook, a small village 6 miles north

east of Bolton, United Kingdom

Foster was making a living producing regular

running shoes when he came up with the idea to

create a novelty spiked running shoe.

After his ideas progressed he joined with his

sons, and founded a shoe company named J.W

Foster and Sons in 1895

In 1958, two of the founder’s grandsons Joe and

Jeff Foster renamed the company Reebok in the

United Kingdom, having found the name in a

dictionary won in a race by Joe Foster as a boy

HISTORY

The name comes from the Afrikaans

spelling of Rhebok, a type of African

antelope or gazelle.

In 1979, Paul Fireman, US Sporting goods

distributor, saw a pair of Reeboks at an

international trades show and negotiated

to sell them in North America

In 2005, it became Reebok International

Limited, a subsidiary of the German

company Adidas , it is a producer of

athletic shoes, apparel and accessories

HISTORY

Footwear Reebok – factories in 14 countries (as

of May 2007) – based in Asia, primarily in China

(51%), Indonesia (21%), Vietnam (17%), and

Thailand (7%). Production is consolidated, with

88% of Reebok footwear manufactured in 11

factories, employing over 75,000

Apparel Reebok – factories in 45 countries – the

process of purchasing products from suppliers is

organized by region. Most (52%) of Reebok’s

apparel sold in the United States is produced in

HISTORY

Product lines :

• Reebok surged in popularity in 1982 after the

introduction of the Freestyle athletic shoe, which

was specifically designed for women and came

out when the aerobics fitness craze started. It

was also popular on the streets as casual wear

because of its comfort and styling (Freestyle

became an icon of the 1980s fashion scene with

hi-top versions-including two-velcro straps at the

top). Reebok continues to produce the Freestyle

to this day, as it is popular with cheerleading,

aerobic dancing, the gym and other consumers.

• EX-O-Fit athletic shoe for men, similar to the

Freestyle, it came in low-top and hi-top versions;

with only one strap. One the designers of this

early footwear was the founder’s son, David

Foster

• Traction

• Durability

• Variety of Patterns for

Sport Specific Needs

Outsole

• like tires of a car, is the part of the shoe that

comes into contact with the ground.

• It is the 1st layer that has to face the natural

wear-and-tear that occurs with normal use.

• The outsole pattern on shoes determines the

degree of traction needed for optimal

performance in that particular activity.

• Different sports require different movements.

• The outsole pattern is custom-designed to suit

the needs of the athlete, as well as the different

conditions that may affect them as well.

• The outsole material on shoes is designed to be

durable enough to withstand the demands of a

specific sport

Outsole

Outsole Materials

1 - Carbon Rubber (BRS 1000)

o Synthetic rubber + carbon = extremely durable outsole

o Black carbon doesn’t fully bond with the rubber, so it can leave marks on surfaces like a gymnasium (indoor court) floor.

o Used for running shoes, BRS 1000 is standard running shoe outsole

Outsole Materials

2 - Solid Rubber

o The most common material used for Nike shoes

o Synthetic rubber + natural rubber

o Will not mark the gymnasium/indoor surfaces

o Not as durable as DRC on rough, outdoor surfaces

o Mainly used for basketball and cross-training shoes

Outsole Materials

3 - Gum Rubber

o Natural rubber + synthetic rubber

o Appears as a tan, amber-yellow outsole

o Soft and provides excellent traction on indoor surfaces

o Not as durable on outdoor surfaces

o Mainly used for indoor court shoes, such as volleyball shoes and indoor football/soccer shoes

Outsole Materials

4 - High-Abrasion Rubber

o Strong abrasion & Synthetic Rubber

o New compound (poly-isoprene & ethylene derivatives)

o Offer good bonding

strength, blooming and

tear strength

o Press works possible

OUTSOLE FEATURES

o Traction/grip

o Durability

o First level of cushioning

o Custom-designed for specific terrain

OUTSOLE of ZIGTECH TECHNOLOGY

When Reebok introduced the Zig concept in 2010, the company developed the concept that it would feel like an “energy drink for your feet.” ZigTech was designed to conserve and return energy to the athlete for a soft, cushioned ride.

Reebok developed three types of Zig outsoles to cater to the needs of different terrains.

OUTSOLE of ZIGTECH TECHNOLOGY

ZigTech

This outsole was engineered for everyday running and training.

It was the most versatile platform of the line with its original-height Zig tooling for maximum energy return.

OUTSOLE of ZIGTECH TECHNOLOGY

ZigNano

Built for racers and with low-profile tooling for a lightweight ride, a polyurethane foam insert in the forefoot improved cushioning at toe-off.

An articulated Pebax dispersion plate on lateral crash zone made for a smooth transition.

OUTSOLE of ZIGTECH TECHNOLOGY

ZigTrail

This outsole was geared for trail running and outdoor excursions.

A carbon rubber outsole with active traction lugs aided traction and durability.

A stabilizer and impact dispersion plate offered support, while a flared heel midsole enhanced stability on rough terrain.

• Most Important Part of Shoe

• Stability

• Shock Absorption /

Cushioning

• First Part to Break Down

Midsole

• like the suspension system of a car, is

the most important part of the shoe.

• Its cushioning features absorb the

forces incurred during an activity,

keeping the athletes safe from joint

injury.

Midsole

Midsole Materials

1 - Ethylene Vinyl Acetate - EVA

o soft, light, flexible

o The least expensive midsole material

o Often used in entry-level shoes

o Once compacted, it does not return to its original shape and no longer provides cushioning

o Used to be state-of-the-art, but is no longer used

Midsole Materials

2 - Polyurethane - PU

o The most dense, durable and stable midsole material

o Provides maximum impact protection

o The heaviest midsole material, but also the most durable

o Smooth, rubbery feel and tendency to turn yellow with age

• Stability

• Secures Foot On Top of

Footbed

• Breathability

• Support

Uppers

• like the body of a car, acts as a protective shell to keep

rain, wind, dirt, and rocks from getting in your way.

• It has the ability to withstand abrasion (rubbing or scraping

away).

• It secures your foot over the midsole.

• And it provides breathability so that even though your body

temperature rises, your feet are adequately ventilated and

you can continue performing at your best.

Uppers

• Leather

• Synthetic Leather

• Mesh

Uppers Materials

Uppers Materials

1 - Leather

o durable, comfortable, supportive and breathable

o Form-fitting, will stretch overtime

o Identified by a grainy appearance and a rough edge that is left (after having been cut)

o Commonly associated with quality

Uppers Materials

2 - Synthetic Leather

o Stronger lighter in weight, more durable than natural leather

o Does not stretch over time

o Identified by a consistent grain pattern and a sharp, clean edge that is left (after having been cut)

o More expensive than natural leather

Uppers Materials

3 - Mesh

o Lightweight, breathable

o Nylon or polyester fibers

o Either knit or woven into a variety of patterns

o Its open structure has large or small holes that allow the free movement of air through the material

o Predominantly used in running shoes for its excellent breathability

• Lacing System

• Thermal Plastic Vinyl

Resin (TPRV)

• Zip and Velvet Closures

Uppers Features

Uppers Features

1 – Lacing System

specialized lacing systems may be incorporated to provide a better fit, as well as providing an easier and faster lace-up of the shoe.

Uppers Features

2 – Thermal Plastic Vinyl Resin - TPRV

• Used as a structural element

• Provides lightweight support and stability

• Durable, flexible

• Commonly used to reinforce the toe of the shoe

• Incorporated within the shoe’s upper to increase durability and stability

Uppers Features

3 – Zip and Velvet Closures

• can be used alone or over traditional shoelaces

• Provides protection from debris

• Provides a more snug fit.

REEBOK TECHNOLOGY

EasyTone – KineticFit – HexRide –

SmoothFit - Xstatic - DMX Foam -

DMX Shear - DMX Max – Hexalite -

3D Ultralite – PlayDry – PlayShield

– PlayWarm

Reebok Technology

EasyTone

has built-in balance pods, featuring Moving Air

Technology, transfer air in response to your stride

and create micro-instability with every step.

KineticFit

provides a fit system that accommodates the

changes in size and shape of an athlete’s foot as it

moves. From impact through toe-off, the foot can

change up to half of a shoe size. KineticFit

construction makes use of a series of engineered

stretch panels positioned in key areas of the shoe.

These panels allow the shoe to respond and move

naturally with the foot.

Reebok Technology

HexRide

a cushioning technology, was created to provide the

athlete with a cushioned, lightweight ride. The

midsole of a HexRide shoe is cored out into a

pattern of hexagonal recesses. The air inside the

hexagonal shapes is sealed in with an impact

resistant polymer film to create a lightweight yet

very cushioned ride.

SmoothFit

is an upper technology that provides the ultimate in

comfortable fit. The construction of SmoothFit is

designed from the inside out. All seams are either

eliminated or sealed both inside and outside the

upper. The goal is to create a fit with minimal

potential irritation inside a light, flexible, streamlined

aesthetic upper.

Reebok Technology

XStatic

is a heat-regulating thermodynamic silver meets an EPA-registered

antimicrobial. Together they create an anti-odor, anti-sweat and anti-

cold fabric so powerful, it's performance stays true over time.

XStatic silver embedded fibers react to the body's temperature,

keeping you cool when it's hot and warm when it's cold. Add a

powerful antimicrobial to repel odor, into Reebok's signature

SmoothFit Premier Running tech tops and suddenly, anything else is

just plain old clothing.

Reebok Technology

DMX Foam is a proprietary foam formulation that delivers

a cushioned ride in a longer lasting, more lively feeling

system. DMX Foam is typically more consistent and

longer lasting than standard midsole formulations.

DMX Shear is a cushioning component that works to slow

down and distribute the stress at heel strike. On impact,

DMX Shear allows the foot to continue forward while

slowing the heel of the shoe. The slowing of the heel

enables force to be distributed both vertically and

horizontally creating less stress on the foot.

DMX Max is a hollow two-pod cushioning system made

for the walker seeking the maximum amount of DMX

cushioning. Air trapped inside DMX Max travels back and

forth under the foot in concert with each walker’s

individual stride. This moving cushion of air delivers

sensational cushioning and comfort.

Reebok Technology

Hexalite is a lightweight, honeycomb-shaped cushioning

material that provides enhanced shock absorption in areas

of peak pressure. The Hexalite technology is 4 times more

durable than EVA foam and absorbs up to 23% more energy

than the equivalent amount of EVA Foam. Tough urethane

film combined with the structural integrity of the honeycomb

linkage make it one of the most durable cushioning systems

used in footwear.

3D Ultralite is a proprietary foam material engineered to be

lightweight, with extra durability and responsiveness. As a

result, shoes made with 3D Ultralite are 10-20% lighter than

shoes made with conventional construction. The proprietary

blend of materials in 3D Ultralite includes EVA, rubber and

other compounds. The mix of these materials can be varied

to meet the specific needs of different activities. The

process of creating 3D Ultralite is based on injection-

molding, which creates more uniform, more consistent sole

units.

Reebok Technology

PlayDry is a moisture management system that helps

keep you cooler, dryer and more comfortable. This “base

layer” moves moisture, accelerates evaporation,

increases ventilation and reduces abrasion without

trapping the body’s thermal energy. PlayDry is available

in a variety of apparel and footwear offerings.

Playshield is an “outer layer” that acts as the final shield

against the elements. Breathable linings, friction

reducing fabrics, strategic venting and ergonomic

construction integrate to maximize the athletic

performance in the most inclement weather.

PlayWarm is a “cover layer” that creates “dead air”

space to slow the body’s thermal energy loss, while

assisting in the dispersion of moisture initiated by the

PlayDry base layer.

Kinds of Foot

• Neutral/Normal Foot

• Flat Foot

• High Arch Foot

Kinds of Foot

Neutral / Normal Foot

• Known as “efficient” foot

• Characterized by a stable arch that

properly support the motion of the foot

through the entire stride

• When we walk, our foot has a natural

tendency to roll inward (called pronation),

so that the force of impact is distributed

evenly throughout the entire foot

• You can wear practically any running

shoe.

Kinds of Foot

Flat Foot

• Known as “flexible” foot

• Occurs because the arch of the foot is too

weak, causing the foot to roll inward too

much (called over-pronation)

• Prolonged over-pronation can put

additional stress on your ankles, knees,

hips and back

• You need running shoes with strong

stability features in order to support your

weak arch

Kinds of Foot

High Arch Foot

• known as “rigid” foot

• The arch of the foot is too strong, causing

the foot to deflect off the arch as you walk

(called supination, or under pronation)

• The foot cannot then properly complete

the pronation process (see neutral foot)

• Prolonged supination results in a loss of

natural shock absorption

• You need shoes with lots of cushioning

LAST AS SHAPE

• Stability

• Cushioning

• Motion Control

– Blend of cushioning, medial support (to

limit excessive inward rolling of the foot,

which can cause injury) and durability

– Often have a medial post or dual-density

midsole - these are features that provide a

firmer density under the inner edge of your

foot

– Usually built on a semi-curved last

Stability

– Softest midsoles and the least

added stability

– Usually built on a semi-curved

or curved last to encourage

foot motion, which is helpful

for runners who have rigid,

immobile feet

('underpronators')

Cushioning

– Designed to slow down or limit extreme inward rolling of the foot and ankle, which can cause injury (this excessive rolling is called 'overpronation')

– May include features such as a medial post (a firmer section under the inner edge of your foot, for pronation control); a polyurethane midsole (for midsole durability) and a carbon rubber outsole (for outsole durability)

– Built on a straight last, which

offers stability and maximum

support on the inner side of your

foot

Motion Control

LAST AS SHAPE

• Semi-curved Last

• Straight Last

• Curved Last

• Women’s Specific Last

LASTS

Mean shapes of footwear… They are:

• Shaped in different ways to accommodate

activity-specific demands.

• Dictating the fit, or how the shoe feels on

the foot.

• Different Designs on the same LAST can

fit differently. (design also plays an

important part )

• there are two meanings for the term “last”

in the world of the athletic footwear.

1. “last as shape”

2. “last as construction”

LAST AS SHAPE

Semi-Curved Last

• For individuals with natural

feet

• Most runners fall in this

category

• Most of Nike’s footwear is

made with this last

• Meets the flexibility and

support needs of the majority

of runners

LAST AS SHAPE

• for individuals with a flat foot

or mild flat foot

• Provides a stiffer, more stable

platform for the foot

• The extra motion control

comes at the expense of

flexibility but its is needed

with this particular foot type

LAST AS SHAPE

Curved Last

• for individuals with a high

arch

• People with this foot type

mainly contact the ground

with their heel and forefoot

• Since their foot is considered

rigid, this type of last provides

a more flexible platform

LAST AS SHAPE

Women’s Specific Last

• For women

• Because women’s feet have a

narrower heel and a wider

toe-box

• Only found in shoes with the

“Designed and Engineered

For Women” logo

Gait Cycle

Gait Cycle – the rhythmic alternating

movements of the 2 lower extremities which

result in the forward movement of the body.

Simply stated, it is the manner in which we walk

Stance Phase

– Contact

– Mid Stance

– Propulsion

Swing Phase

• Initial Swing

• Mid Swing

• Terminal Swing

Gait Cycle

Gait Cycle – Swing Phase

When heel

makes contact

with the ground

as you attempt

to move forward

The foot moves

high off the

ground from

back to front

side of your

body preparing

to land again.

When the foot

pushes off the

ground with toe

off and the foot

moves higher to

the back.

Pronation

Pronation

The inward rolling of the foot during

normal motion and occurs as the outer

edge of the heel strikes the ground and

the foot rolls inward and flattens out. A

moderate amount of pronation is

required for the foot to function properly.

SPORT-SPECIFIC SHOES

• Why sport-specific is the best?

• Benefits of sport-specific

• Why running shoes only for running ?

• Tips of fitting athletic shoes…

SPORT-SPECIFIC SHOES

Why is sport-specific best ?

• Shoes are mainly intended for one particular activity

• The outsole, midsole and upper are specially and specifically

created for optimal performance and safety

• Cross-trainers are average shoes for a number of different

activities, but they are not the best for any one particular

sport

SPORT-SPECIFIC SHOES

The benefits of sport-specific shoes:

• Optimizes performance and decreases

the risk of injury

• Prolongs the life of the shoe

• Provides the user with greater

satisfaction

• Decreases the chance that customers

will come back with “defectives”, since

they’ll be happier because the shoe is

performing well for them in that

particular activity

SPORT-SPECIFIC SHOES

Why running shoes are only meant for

running:

• Running shoes are designed for one

particular purpose forward motion

• They do not have side-to-side stability

for those activities that require lateral

movement (which mean they are not

suitable for any sport/activity apart

from running and walking)

• Can lead to serious injury if used for

other activities

Tips For Fitting An Athletic Shoe: 1. Recommend that they buy their shoes late in the day (late

afternoon, early evening)

2. Provide athletic socks for them to test the shoes

3. Measure both feet for length, arch length and width

4. Find out the type of activity and frequency of activity

5. Get them to try on different pairs of shoes (both sides)

6. There should be a thumb’s width from the end of the

longest toe to the end of the shoe

7. They should be able to freely wiggle all their toes inside the

shoe while standing

8. There should be a firm grip on the heel

9. Make sure they are not on carpet when teasing the shoes

10. Get them to mimic the same activities that they will be

engaging in

11. The shoes should feel immediately comfortable
