Icebug | Which running shoe should you choose?
Running should be fun – wearing the right shoes will decide. We have running shoes for both world champions and beginners. With this guide we hope to make it a little easier to find the right pair.
Outrun RB9X®
OutRun is our most comfortable trail shoe, optimized for running on gravel roads, forest roads and paths. Perfect for the everyday exerciser who wants a well-cushioned shoe with good grip. The OutRun is also popular with runners who traverse far into the forest.
​
In addition to being a comfortable, high performance running shoe, OutRun is also the best choice you can make for the environment. The midsole contains algae that is harvested from water sources that contain harmful algae blooms. We include recycled rubber from our own production in the outsole and have managed to make a durable upper with 100% recycled polyester. In short: OutRun is a big step towards a less dirty shoe industry.

Acceleritas8 RB9X®
A new generation of the Acceleritas is here, targeting those that fancy minimalism and a must-have for the thrill-seeking runner venturing into swimrun, obstacle race or forest running! The upper is super soft and smooth, so light it feels like being barefoot. The water pickup is minimal, the drainage is excellent and hence the wet weight is almost as low as when it’s dry. The heel cup is very soft and comfortable in order to reduce pressure
at the Achilles tendon.
The midsole is very flexible and the terrain feel is remarkable thanks to the low profile of the sole. The shoe promotes the natural movement of the foot, it’s like running in a pair of socks, but socks that provide thermal and impact protection, and traction. The last has been updated with a slightly roomier toe box.
The outsole is designed with an aggressive pattern where dirt is steered away to the sides in diagonal channels, using the same principal as in tractor tires. The Acceleritas outsole is crowned with the jewel among sticky rubbers: RB9X®. This innovative rubber compound provides incredible traction on both wet and dry surfaces, without compromising the durability!
