You will have noticed that Fox shoes have the word ‘Motion’ in their title. This is because of the special technology used in their manufacturing called the Motion technology. It provides a balance of features that enhance performance and optimize comfort.

There are five key components when it comes to this technology, the first of which is the Duratrak MDT outsole, with the term MDT standing for “multi-directional tread.”

This outsole has hexagon-shaped Motion Flex Grooves that ensure maximum grip – unlike lines or even zigzags; these prevent slipping in all directions. As a result, lateral support is provided. You will be able to keep your feet stable regardless of any twisting or dynamic movements in the upper body. The likelihood of falling and injury is greatly reduced.

The second component is the Skylyte Midsole. This is a full-length midsole designed to provide shock absorption, which is crucial to every athletic and everyday shoe. Shock absorbent midsoles are designed to absorb impact and prevent it from negatively affecting your body in the long term. In the short term, they ensure comfort and reduce fatigue.

The next component is the Rebound Foam. This essentially acts as a spring, as with each step taken it will compress, then return to its original form. As a result, energy return is maximized for your next stride, allowing you to go farther faster and with less effort. After exercising for long periods of time, such as running long-distance, you will feel less fatigued, more energized, and have better performance and endurance.

The last component, which is the layer of the sole that is directly underfoot, is the 3D Molded EVA Sockliner. With this molded sockliner, the footbed will hug the contours of your foot and provide structural support to the arches, keeping your feet in proper alignment.

Many sneakers, trainers, as well as motorcycling boots by Fox are low-cut – but what does this mean? Just like how low-cut shirts mean a wider collar, low top footwear doesn’t come up on the ankles. There are both pros and cons to this style.

Perhaps the biggest benefit of low-top Fox shoes is the increased agility. It is much easier to turn, jump, and engage in dynamic movements when there is nothing at the ankles that may cause discomfort and hold you back. As a result, extra speed can be gained. Low-top Fox shoes also tend to be light in weight, meaning that each stride feels lighter so that foot fatigue is minimized.

The con is that, though low-cut footwear leaves your ankles free to move with more agility, it also leaves them unprotected. Sometimes, it’s good to have coverage when making sudden turns or landings to prevent spraining the ankles or causing any other ankle injuries. This is why some podiatrists conclude that low-top footwear can increase the risk of injury when doing athletics, and therefore do not recommend them.

But when it comes to regular Fox shoes, if you don’t plan on doing any serious exercise in them, there shouldn’t be an issue. It’s much more important for an everyday sneaker to be light and comfortable rather than to offer optimal protection because simply walking isn’t likely to cause injuries either way.

Amongst some of best-selling Fox shoes are trainers and sneakers. It’s important to know the differences and similarities between the two so that you know which design to choose, and which one will benefit you the most.

Sneakers are considered to be athletic footwear, and their construction features a flexible sole made of a synthetic material (most often rubber) and an upper made of canvas.

Trainers, on the other hand, are a category of footwear specially designed to provide the protection needed for serious fitness activities. Their features include cushioning and stability systems to keep the ankles and the feet aligned and protected during exercise. Most are made of synthetics and mesh to ensure airflow, but some may also include leather in the uppers.

When it comes to choosing, it all depends on where you plan on wearing your Fox shoes, and what you’ll be doing. Though both types provide the necessary structural support and comfort, it ultimately comes down to style.

Sneakers were made with style in mind and generally have a more attractive design. They also tend to come in lots of different colors. Combined with their great features, they are great as everyday footwear and can be worn with nearly any kind of clothes to give you a laid-back yet attractive look.

Trainers are more focused on enhancing performance, so sometimes looks are sacrificed as a result. They are the best choice to wear when doing fitness activities. They also tend to be more expensive due to their careful design and construction, but every penny is worth the purchase as they are made for maximum performance.

In short, sneakers are the better choice for everyday streetwear, as they are both comfortable and fashionable. Trainers are better for exercising because they are designed to be more apt for the purpose rather than the looks.

With the variety of styles on this list, there are, of course, different materials used. Here are a few materials that might be featured in the products on our list:

Full Grain Leather: It doesn't get much better than genuine leather, as you want the most high quality, durable materials encasing and protecting your feet at all times.

Steel Shanks: Used to add support to your feet throughout a long ride.

Velcro and Buckle Closures: These are easy to fasten on and off and don't pose any problems or potential hazards if you're often on your bike, unlike lace closures.

Oil Resistant Soles: Throughout your entire ride, your feet are constantly touching the ground and picking up oils off the road which can cause the soles of your boots to become slippery on the pegs. This can be extremely dangerous, and therefore always ensure your boots have the correct soles.

Steel Toes: Your feet will be touching the ground every time you stop, and potentially dragging, so ensure your boots are reinforced to protect your foot and leg.

Ultimately, the cost-effectiveness Fox shoes, or their overall value, depends mainly on cushioning, support, and protection, but also relies on their durability, convenience, ease of use, maintenance, and their actual price.

Durability
You a shoe that won’t fall apart right away. Those that wear down too quickly cannot protect your feet from injury and cannot properly absorb shock. Every region needs to be durable, from the upper to the outsole. Fortunately, Fox shoes have come up with ways to increase the longevity and durability of their products by creating high abrasion compounds and interlocking units in the outsole.

Maintenance
A time-consuming maintenance routine is inconvenient and can really devalue any product. We live fast, busy lives and we often barely have time for everyday activities, let alone to treat and re-treat and clean, polish, and dry shoes every time we wear them out. So, look for Fox shoes that are easier to maintain and clean. These are also less expensive over time, as they don’t require a lot of products to maintain them.

Cost
The actual price of Fox shoes matters, too. The best-cushioned and most protective footwear doesn’t have to cost a lot of money! Most of the designs can be found for a very reasonable price, so always shop around if it looks like the one you have decided on is going to cost you an unreasonable amount. Someone, somewhere, will probably be selling it for less!
