Finally a women's shoe that is not a men's shoe in pink. The narrower heel is the whole difference.
/ / Engineering
Lumen is built on our women's last, which is not a scaled men's last — the heel is 4mm narrower, the instep 3mm lower, and the forefoot marginally wider relative to length. The midsole durometer drops from 55C to 52C, tuned for lighter loading rather than as a marketing line. Reflective piping is threaded through the eyestay rather than heat-pressed onto the quarter panel, which puts it on a moving surface: at 40 lux it reads from roughly 120m under headlights.

Reflectivity is genuinely bright. Midsole is softer than I expected — good for easy days, vague at threshold.
