Osaga’s Moscow 80

Think about it.

Uncomfortable shoes make for uncomfortable running, and you know how discomfort affects your performance. Bad fit or inadequate cushioning can have more effect on a runner’s health, pleasure and performance than any other factor.

Osaga believes that if your feet feel good, chances are that you’ll perform more efficiently. And that’s what Moscow 80 is all about; a superbly designed running flat suitable for both racing and training.

Nylon mesh with suede trim. Studded sole. 4 colors and sizes 6–16 in widths.

Osaga… for the human race.
