Softstar Shoes is no stranger to making flexible, minimalist and ultra-light footwear but its newest design challenges just how light a shoe design can be. After much material research, Softstar released the Quick Dry Dash RunAmoc, which comes in at just 4.2 ounces—setting it apart as not just the company's lightest shoe to date but also one of the lightest athletic shoes on the market now.
While many athletic footwear designs are bogged down by excessive cushioning and structured arch support systems, lighter options help to reduce muscle fatigue, effort and support freer movements. The Quick Dry Dash RunAmoc is made from 100% vegan materials, including a breathable mesh upper that dries quickly and supports comfort, especially on hot days. The shoe promises to be appealing to runners and outdoor enthusiasts who will value the level of freedom and feedback offered.
