Designed by Professor Jean-Marie Denoix. A reverse shoe also called “Napoléon shoe” in France. Rear ground bearing surface surface behind the heels and frog. Open toe Shorter version of the Bonapartix®L. Front shape. Made from hi-tech aluminium alloy.
PRINCIPLE AND INTERACTION WITH THE GROUND:

- Beveled outer rim at the rear part of the shoe to reduce rear lever arm.
- Open toe and beveled ends of branches to promote maximum rolling.
- Bevel on toe quarters to limit collateral motion and rotation during propulsion in turns.
