An Interview with our Product Expert Jan!
Jan, who is 361° Targeting with its Products?
361° targets everyone who is willing to go the extra mile to grow beyond themselves. Besides the necessary discipline and willingness to endure, you also need the right equipment. And that's what 361° provides.
Is there Something for Every Runner at 361°?
Yes, of course, 361° offers everything from all-rounders to competition shoes. My absolute favorite, also because 2025 will be my trail year, is the Lynx trail shoe.

The shoe is lightweight, well-cushioned for long runs, and still provides a direct and secure feel for the ground. The Vibram sole works great on trails, even when it's wet, slippery, and difficult. The fit is also very good. The foot feels comfortable in the shoe, and the heel counter offers good support. The toes have space without "swimming" in the toe box . With the soft tongue, you can lace the shoe tightly to your foot without pressure points.

But also the small details, like embroidered eyelets, print, and functional openings in the mesh create a sporty, fast design. Lace eyelets, print, and functional mesh openings create a sporty, fast design. All in all, the logo and functions are well integrated into the overall design of the shoe.
