The most important features of the BIOM shoe are as follows:

• Anatomically shaped last - based on 2200 scanned feet - offers a perfect fit for runners feet
• YAK-leather upper (optional textile upper) delivers superb strength, breathability and fit
• Direct-injected PU lasts much longer than normal EVA and supports in an anatomical way
• Direct-injected anatomical foot bed adds perfect anatomical full-length foot support
• TPU-rubber outsole for perfect grip and excellent forefoot flexibility
• Biomechanical sole construction allows for natural running motion
• Low profile sole reduces pronation speed and pronation angle
• Anatomical constructed flex grooves let the foot flex and move in a natural way
• Excessive forefoot flexibility provides a better push of angle
• Low rounded heel construction moves the landing point under the heel
• Horizontal heel flex reduces horizontal and vertical landing forces
• Direct injected heel cap and the midsole construction supports the heel in an anatomical way
• Anatomical constructed shank system stabilizes the foot without limiting the natural torsion
• Direct-injected PU midfoot arch element offers a superb support of the midfoot arch - without limiting the natural pronation
• Low weight (BIOM A Men's < 300 gr.  in size US 10/43) less additional mass means less artificial force development

BIOM shoes can be used by almost every runner. Only 10% of the runners - those who have a heavy pronation with an angle from about 12 degrees - should not wear the BIOM running shoe. All runners should adapt slowly to the new construction of the running shoe. The BIOM training plan, offers adequate information. Runners with strong pronation and a high body weight should proceed especially gradually and not wear the shoe too frequently.

Besides the running speed, there are other criteria that can be used to divide the different categories A, B and C.

BIOM A is the shoe for the "serious runner", the professional to semi-professional runner. Who trains hard and tries to push themselves to the limit. The "serious runner" tries to find self affirmations and extremities, or self awareness whilst running.

BIOM B focuses on the "fitness runner", whose main motivation is to better their bodily condition. The "fitness runner" often trains for other sports and commonly likes to move. These runners like to have a special connection with nature.

BIOM C is the shoe for the "occasional runner", or the "opportunity runner". Most noticeable about these runners is that their wish is to better their bodily condition, fitness and a healthily way of living.
