PRINCIPLE AND INTERACTION WITH THE GROUND : On compacted and penetrable grounds : Large anterior ground bearing surface surface limits toe penetration. Narrow bevelled branches to increase heel penetration. Enlarged surface in contact with foot at heels for greater comfort. Slightly bevelled outer rim at toe to facilitate rolling.
