Rossignol Debuts New Vezor Mountain Running Shoe

French mountain sports brand Rossignol has long been known for high-performance skis, snowboards, boots, apparel, and more recently, mountain bikes. This week, at the 2024 Ultra Trail Mont Blanc (UTMB) race in Chamonix, France, Rossignol debuted their first mountain running footwear product, the Vezor Shoe.

The high-end mountain running shoe is the result of years of development and testing and will be available for sale next year. The shoe features a highly cushioned EVA midsole with a Diapazon plate insert for added spring and rock protection, plus a removable insole system with three options to customize fit out the box.

Shoe Specs

• Weight: 282 g (UK men's size 8 men) / 231 g (UK women's size 5)
• Fit: Slim
• Drop: 6mm
• Adaptable lacing system to evenly distribute lace pressure across all foot shapes
• Asymmetric heel reinforcement with wedge heel cut

"With the Vezor, we are offering a comfortable, precise shoe with effective and highly responsive cushioning, for long, fast-paced runs on technical trails. Its design is inspired by the morphological structure of the dragonfly's wings, combining lightness, comfort and stability during rapid changes of direction," says Guilhem Boussaroque, Rossignol's Product Line Manager Trail Running, in a press release.

"The fusion of our new, ultra-resilient nitrogen-injected foam and our Diapazon+ technology gives the Vezor the perfect balance of energy return and stability. Its ingeniously designed outsole incorporating Michelin’s OCX3 compound ensures impeccable grip on all types of terrain. Ideal for medium distances, the Vezor will be an ally of choice for committed trail runners"

"Our aim is to provide the best possible solutions for all aspects of mountain sport, and we are committed to developing technical solutions to make the mountains and wide-open spaces accessible to everyone, from enthusiastic amateurs to accomplished athletes," adds Rossignol President and CEO Vincent Wauters.

"For these communities of mountain sports enthusiasts who explore the mountains from one season to the next whether skiing, biking, or running, we’ve naturally extended our spring-summer 2025 range to encompass the simplest and purest form of mountain sport: trail-running."
