When we built the original LD-1000, we threw away the book of traditional running shoe ideas, and started a revolution. It was a radically new shoe that combined our famous Waffle sole with a super-wide flared heel to give runners stability and traction like never before. Now comes an evolutionary shoe that grew out of the original revolution. The LDV For some runners, it will be a better shoe. Others will still want the original. We’ve reduced the flare of the heel. Opened the toe. And built the LDV on a vector last shaped to the natural axis of your foot to decrease over-pronation. The outer sole is made from tougher rubber with a new Waffle sole pattern that has stabilizers for longer wear. The new LDV We built it because we never stop working to build something better.
