When it comes to choosing shoes, people often focus on cushioning or design. Yet one of the most important parts of any shoe is the outsole. It determines how much grip you have, how stable you feel, and how long the shoes last. At Plaeto, we engineered the Chevron Outsole to perform in the real world. Built with science and tested to international standards, it delivers traction, comfort, and durability in everyday wear.
Indian environments demand more from shoes. From muddy grounds to smooth tiled corridors to sun-heated pavements, no two surfaces are the same. A standard outsole cannot keep up with these conditions. The Chevron Outsole was created to handle this variety, whether you are walking, running, or playing.
Most outsoles crack or wear down quickly when exposed to heat. The Chevron Outsole is made from materials that can withstand high temperatures, keeping Plaeto shoes durable and reliable even in extreme weather.
Safety during movement was a core focus in the design. Traditional soles often collect mud and dust, making them heavy and slippery. The Chevron tread pattern prevents mud from sticking, allowing it to fall away naturally. Grooves across the outsole also channel water away, lowering the risk of slipping on wet tiles or smooth surfaces. The result is consistent traction in both dry and wet conditions.
Design alone is not enough, performance must be proven. The Chevron Outsole has been tested against SATRA TM 144:2011, the global standard for slip resistance. While the benchmark traction score is 0.30 in wet and dry conditions, Plaeto shoes with the Chevron Outsole scored between 0.65 and 0.70. That is more than double the requirement, ensuring grip and safety wherever you go.
A good shoe should never get in the way. It should support movement, provide security, and allow you to focus on what you are doing. The Chevron Outsole was created with this in mind. It gives you the confidence to walk, run, or play freely, knowing your shoes are working with you, not against you.
At Plaeto, we believe small details can make a big difference. The Chevron Outsole may be just one part of the shoe, but it transforms every step into one of safety, stability, and comfort.
