Women's Craft Xplor 2 Hybrid Running Shoe

7000 Feet Running Company is excited to introduce its first Craft running shoe:  Meet the Xplor 2, the next evolution of Craft’s most versatile performance running shoe. Redesigned with a new 2-layer engineered mesh upper, it now delivers a more secure fit, targeted ventilation, and improved long-term durability—so every run feels stable, breathable, and comfortable.

Inspired by the go-anywhere capability of gravel bikes, the Xplor 2 is built for hybrid performance: smooth and fast on pavement, confident and grippy on dirt. Its standout feature is the Vittoria-engineered outsole, infused with World Championship gravel racing technology. Borrowing tread concepts from Terreno Dry and Terreno Mix tire patterns, the outsole uses fish-scale edges and progressive siping to deliver reliable traction, speed, and durability across unpredictable terrain.

For cushioning, the Women's Craft Xplor 2 Hybrid Running Shoe uses a softer formulation of Px Foam™, Craft’s ultra-light, ultra-responsive midsole material. Px Foam™ offers outstanding energy return, shock absorption, and flexibility—while being produced with a single natural foaming agent and without chemical cross-linking. The result is a non-toxic, fully reusable high-performance foam that’s up to 20% lighter than traditional EVA, giving each step more rebound with less weight.

The shoe is finished with Craft Endurance Fit®, combining a narrow heel cup for secure hold, midfoot lock-in for stability, and a spacious forefoot for natural toe movement—ideal for long miles on mixed terrain.

• 2-layer engineered mesh upper made from 50% recycled materials
