Laura Ortiz came into iRun to buy
some running shoes expecting to get the best and most comfortable shoes
she can wear. What she didn't know is that the moment she walk into the
store our staff members had something in mind more relevant than just a pair of comfortable shoes for her natural leg. ( Laura has a prosthetic right leg )
What we saw was, we needed to find a shoe for her natural leg that can match ground contact and reaction forces coming from the ground on her carbon fiber prosthetic leg.
After trying different pairs of shoes and seeing her run up and down the sidewalk outside of the store we found the perfect match!
There is no discrepancy between her prosthetic leg and her natural leg in a pair of Mizuno Wave Prophecy's which have a similar density and respond well with the carbon fiber leg. We are so happy we found the perfect shoe for Laura. Without forgetting to mention, she is a natural talented runner as you can see on the video below with a natural smooth running form.
At www.iruncompany.com, when it comes to running, we take our job seriously.
