Still, 50% of all runners get injured at least once a year.¹ In Germany alone, that‘s 12 million people.²
That's exactly what we want to change. After 25 years of working together in science and running shoe creation¹, we founded True Motion.
Our goal: running shoes that reduce the risk of injury and at the same time make running a lot of fun.
A study of more than 1,700 runners has scientifically proven that our patented U-TECH™ technology reduces the risk of running injuries by 21%. At the knee even by more than 50%.
U-TECH™ is a U-shaped, elastic midsole innovation that surrounds the foot - just as the human heel is surrounded by soft tissue. In this way, forces generated by each foot strike run straight and centered through the body, and unphysiological, harmful movements (such as tipping and twisting at the knee and Achilles tendon, as conventional running shoes unfortunately provoke) are prevented from the outset.
We combine decades of textile know-how from Schmallenberg with our patented U-TECH™ innovation. The result is a unique system of running shoe and running sock that has never been seen before in the running shoe industry. This further reduces the risk of running-related injuries and increases comfort.
When paired with the U-TECH Nevos, the Falke U-TECH Nevos running sock results in 4% less stress on the knee and 20% better fine-tuning of force centering.¹
The Falke U-TECH Nevos running sock is just the beginning of this unique collaboration. Together we want to perfect the running experience even further. For all runners. At any time, in any place.

As a modern European company, we are continuously trying to reduce our CO₂ footprint. All work and production steps are constantly optimized and CO₂ emissions are reduced. An excerpt of our measures:
-Smaller collection size and longer model runtimes
-Sustainable materials in products, e.g. laces made from environmentally friendly material, tongue and collar lining made from surplus material, toe caps vegan and REACH (SVCH) compliant, outsole made from sustainable Regrind Rubber, insole made from recycled EVA foam, etc.
-Environmentally friendly packaging, e.g. soy-based paint, FSC-certified cardboard, different sizes to avoid waste, no insert paper in the shoes
-Annual audits (e.g. SEDEX) to check occupational health and safety standards and compliance with social standards
