the idea keep it simple, good flexibility, something to hold the front foot in place.
light weight and a water / mud solution to make runners ache for the trail
technical bits full eva midsole gives cushioning. it is light weight and an impact absorbing device can be incorporated in the rear foot. the rear sits slightly higher than is the norm to allow for the heavier runner and downhill work giving best impact absorption
contoured eva rises up and around the sides to hold the fore-foot in place
a higher soft ankle collar helps avoid ankle rolling and laces tighten it up snug
full zip over cover keeps the mud off and the water out it stretches over the midsole reducing the chance of mid sole and upper separation and allowing a tighter upper fit
