Etonic KM Stabilizer 1979 vintage running shoes ad Dr. Rob Roy McGregor

Here’s a 1979 ad for the Etonic KM Stabilizer with the stabilizing system. Dr. Rob Roy McGregor was a podiatrist and pioneering sports medicine expert who designed the system.

Ad info is below:

The Stabilizer.
Introducing a unique concept in running shoe protection.

The Stabilizer starts with a totally new rear-foot design, incorporating a slightly higher, smaller top opening to better hug the foot and improve comfort and fit (particularly important for those with narrow heels). Plus a unique lacing system to adjust the rear fit firmly and precisely just like on the front of any shoe. This system can be laced on both or either side, on each foot, or laced conventionally, according to an individual's needs. The lacing helps your foot and shoe work as one, a necessity for proper control. This helps reduce lateral roll, a problem identified with many injuries.

The Stabilizer. Km-520 for men. Km-720 for women.

This new rearfoot stabilizing system was designed by Dr. Rob Roy McGregor, inventor of the highly acclaimed Etonic one piece heel and arch support. In fact, that device performs its shock-absorbing function even better in The Stabilizer as a result of the improved fit and shaping at the heel.

Without heel/arch support heels are flat.
With it they are rounded and cushioned.

The Stabilizer also lives up to its name with an improved forefoot design, featuring a leather re-enforcing bar for greater support and lateral stability at the ball of the foot.

We've combined these new stability features with the proven protection features of the Etonic/km and Street Fighter. The result is a unique new training shoe for men and women. The Stabilizer. It's a giant step in the development of Etonic/km training shoes.

Etonic KM-501, Street Fighter KM-505 and KM-705 vintage sneaker ad from 1980

Here's a 1980 ad from Etonic featuring the Etonic KM-501, Street Fighter KM-505 and KM-705 sneaker models. One weird fact about Etonic was that during their running shoe heyday from 1976 to 1986 they were owned by Colgate. The same minty fresh Colgate that you may have brushed your teeth with this morning. This original print advertisement is available over at our RewindRunning.com web store.

Nothing protects this equipment, quite like this equipment.

You don't have bats, racquets, clubs, gloves, nets or goal posts. For a runner, the equipment list is simple: your body and your shoes. And it's no secret that the right shoe can make a difference as to how the rest of your equipment will function.

That's why we build so much protection into Etonic/km running shoes. We start with the Dr. Rob Roy McGregor' one-piece heel/arch support.* This unique device encourages a more rounded heel, gently forcing your natural padding under the foot to provide its own cushioning. So your foot acts as a natural shock absorber, helping the rest of your body to withstand the continuous jarring inherent in long distance running.

Etonic/km also incorporates a flared heel for greater stability, a sturdy heel counter for increased support, a high, wide toe box to min-imize toe irritations and many other highly protective features. All available for men and women in our tough, lightweight Street Fighters and the highly acclaimed Km-501. Protect your body in

Etonic/km running shoes.

Etonic Eclipse Racer and Trainer vintage sneakers from 1981

Today we've got a vintage ad post for the 1981 Etonic Eclipse Racer and Trainer sneakers. These both featured the advanced generation Dr. Rob Roy McGregor® foot cradle and will "help you eclipse your best racing time."

Advertisement info is below:

TOTAL ECLIPSE

Etonic Eclipse Racer
The lightweight, flexible performer to help you eclipse your best racing time. A new, anatomically designed last gives a closer fit at the heel and shank for greater rear-foot control and toe-off. Weighing just 7 oz. in size 9, the Eclipse Racer offers cool, comfortable running with our upper of breathable oximesh nylon laminated to a foam and perforated nylon tricot. A. sole made of dual rubber compound with two distinct treads provides added cushioning, durability and traction. Add the Dr. Rob Roy McGregor® foot cradle* and the Etonic rear-foot lacing system* and you've got the support, control and stability racing demands.

Without foot cradle heels are flat.

With it, they are rounded and cushioned.

Etonic Eclipse Trainer
The tough training shoe that performs like a racing flat. It's got the same first name as our racing flat because of so many of the same performance features. It's designed on the racing flat last, has the identical comfortable, lightweight upper and is remarkably light (8.3 oz. in size 9). But it's still a trainer; so we made it tougher. We've got a microcellular blown rubber sole for lightweight cushioning, and a special heel-strike insert that adds rugged durability where it's needed. The advanced generation Dr. Rob Roy McGregor® foot cradle* is designed to absorb the force of heel-strike as well as shearing and lateral forces. And the rear-foot lacing system* allows for a fit the runner can adjust to his own liking.
