Nordic walking competition shoe

Hello Nordic walkers and welcome!

That's it ! We are embarking on a first co-creation project.

Co-creation is teamwork, you the Nordic walking enthusiasts and us the Newfeel team. We would like to know all your desires and needs to develop even more relevant products that are truly adapted to you and your sport.

You will be able to participate in this project in the different stages of co-creation: express your needs and validate the synthesis, choose the design (shape, graphics, etc.), choose the colors, etc.

This process will take place over 2 years. Feel free to intervene on the steps you want or on all of them!

We need your help to design the first shoe specially designed for Nordic walking competitions. No matter the type of competition, your opinion counts!

If you want to participate in this new adventure with us then co-creation is for you :-)

Hello dear co-creators,

We hope you are in good shape.

The current circumstances do not prevent us from moving forward in the design and co-creation of our future NW900 and NW980, here in a few words the current developments thanks to your feedback.

EASY TO FIT and SAFE:

Some of you have told us that the back of the NW980 could be improved: hard point at the heel, difficult to use the "zipper" at the back to put the shoe on

So we modified that too, the benefits are a more efficient threading system, no more hard points and the addition of a phosphorescent patch for more security!

COMFORT :

The NW900 and NW980 are equipped with a clamping system with Tanka. This tanka can cause a hard spot on the instep, this hard spot was felt by some of our co-creators/testers.

This is why we have integrated a "pad" made of soft material (EVA) in the front tongue which greatly reduces this potential for "hard". All this will contribute to comfort in use, especially for those who are used to tightening their shoes tightly.

LACE/TANKA VERSION:

The NW900 and NW980 will be equipped as standard with a Tanka system which has the advantage of being a simple, quick and efficient tightening/loosening system.

But we have also heard that some of you prefer a more classic lace tightening system. This is why the NW900 and NW980 will be equipped with an additional pair of laces that you can use in place of your tankas, these laces are currently being tested.

LACES RANGE/TANKA RANGE:

The majority of our testers do not see the lace pocket that equips our shoes, we have reworked the design to make this pocket more visible.

Because once we've used this pouch, well...we can't do without it!!

Here's the latest news, don't hesitate to send us your comments!

We wish you to stay in shape,

The NW900/NW980 design team
