How Shapes Help You with HYROX

Support and Stability in Key Movements: During lunges, wall balls, and heavy sleds, your foot needs both flexibility and firmness. Shapes’ arch support ensures your foot doesn’t roll inwards, reducing strain on ankles, knees, hips, and lower back.

Enhanced Force Transfer: Running 1 km followed by functional stations repeatedly places stress on transitions—when you go from sprinting to pushing or pulling heavy loads. Well-aligned feet help transfer that force more efficiently so you burn less energy on compensation, and more on performance.

Reduced Fatigue and Joint Stress: With better alignment and midfoot support, unnecessary load on joints is lowered. That means less pain in knees or hips, better recovery, and fewer aches after race day.

Shapes are not sized like shoes.

They are designed to fit from the back of your heel to just before the ball of your foot (the padded area behind your toes).

To find your correct size:

• Measure the distance from the back of your heel to just before the ball of your foot
• This measurement determines your Shapes size

 If Shapes are too long/big and touch the ball of your foot, they may cause discomfort and affect natural foot movement.

Because everyone’s foot shape is different, people with the same shoe size can require different Shapes sizes.

Size (cm measurement from back of heal to the balls of the feet):

1 (13cm), 2 (13.8cm), 3 (14.5cm), 4 (15.4cm), 5 (16cm), 6 (16.7cm), 7 (17.5cm), 8 (18.2cm), 9 (19cm), 10 (20cm).

If unsure or in-between sizes, please select the smaller size.
