Laceless design. Philos Athena purposefully rejects laces, as standard shoelaces restrict blood circulation as the foot expands while running. The Athena secures and supports the foot and ankle while encouraging blood flow during runs. 

On in 4.9 seconds. The modern elasticated straps easily slide on, allowing you to get out the door faster for your morning run.

QuietRun™ sole. "If you are running properly, you won't hear your own feet touch the ground."The QuietRun™ sole is engineered for silent running, meaning that you are running gently on your ankles, knees, and hips. 

Conscious running. The sole provides a grounded running experience with a 5mm heel-to-toe drop, and allows your mind space to roam.

What makes the Athena one of the best running shoes for women?

The Philos Athena stands out as one of the best running shoes for women thanks to the use of natural, breathable materials, and the QuietRun™ Foam sole, which is specifically designed for a grounded running experience. The 5 mm heel-to-toe drop strengthens ground feel and connection to the earth.

Are the Philos Athena shoes suitable for all types of running?

Yes, the Philos Athena athletic shoe is designed to accommodate all types of runners, from short-distance to long-distance. Its flexible fit and breathable design ensure support and comfort, making it ideal for different running needs.

How does the Philos Athena support natural foot movement?

The Philos Athena is an elevated running shoe crafted to let your feet move, flex and breathe naturally. Its soft, responsive 360° stretch-knit upper and QuietRun™ Foam sole adapt seamlessly to your run, enhancing natural foot movement with every step. The quick-on design with adjustable Velcro straps offers a secure, flexible fit in under 10 seconds, promoting better blood circulation for optimal comfort and performance.

How do I maintain my Philos Athena running shoes?

The Philos Athena running shoes are machine-washable, making them easy to clean and maintain, ensuring they stay in great condition for your running sessions. For best results, wash them in cold water with a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softener. Allow them to air dry, do not tumble dry or use high heat, as this could damage the materials.
