Craft Kype Gravel Running Shoes - Women's

Kype Gravel is engineered for elite performance and long-distance dominance on gravel terrain. Born to win the Western States 100 and developed with insights from our Craft Elite Team, this next-generation gravel supershoe builds on the success of the ultrafast Kype Pro road shoe. Powered by an advanced carbon-fiber plate and our two high-performance midsole materials Px™ Foam and Xx™ Foam, Kype Gravel delivers explosive propulsion and lasting comfort across mixed surfaces. Drawn from the Kype Pro, the innovative Grip Chamber System™ introduces a unique split-heel design for exceptional grip and control, complemented by the lightweight wrapped Vittoria outsole that ensures reliable traction on gravel and dirt. Finally, the ultra-thin yet durable upper minimizes weight without sacrificing protection, creating a glove-like fit that supports you mile after mile. Lace up for an aggressive, high-performance ride built to dominate every gravel challenge.
