At ena athletics, we believe that a runner’s true strength lies in following their own path. Whether that’s a mountain trail or the heart of the city. The new Proto Gravel was created for those who embrace variety: running on dirt and exploring mixed terrains, while still keeping a style that fits perfectly in urban settings. A shoe that blends stability, comfort, and freedom, supporting you on every surface.
The philosophy behind the Proto Gravel
There is no “right” route. There’s only your route. The Proto Gravel embodies exactly that philosophy. It allows you to move with confidence and comfort, wherever you choose to go. From city streets to mountain trails, from a training run to a daily walk.
Designed for mixed terrain
The Proto Gravel is the neutral choice for runners who move across different terrains and seek adaptability. With an 8mm drop and weighing just 288.3g (EU 43) for men and 222.5g (EU 37) for women, it combines lightweight with reliable support, following you wherever your run takes you. It’s a shoe that supports without restricting, so you can keep moving across mixed terrain with confidence.
