norda 008 - Premium Recovery Slide for Post-Run Protection

The norda 008 is built for the time you're not running. After covering distance across technical terrain, your feet need protection and support during recovery, not just soft foam that compresses under bodyweight. This recovery slide uses engineered dual-density foam construction with arch support and a custom Vibram® ECOSTEP soleplate — bringing the same material precision norda applies to running shoes into recovery footwear.

Dual-Density Foam Construction with Arch Support

The footbed and midsole use a denser foam engineered specifically with arch support to promote recovery and protect the feet after long efforts. The textured footbed provides tactile feedback whilst the arch support maintains foot position, preventing collapse that can occur in standard recovery slides. The foot strap is constructed with a softer foam for comfort and fit, creating a dual-density system where each component serves a specific function — protection where needed, comfort where wanted.

Vibram® ECOSTEP Soleplate

The custom Vibram® ECOSTEP soleplate is made with recycled materials whilst delivering unrivalled traction compared to other recovery slides. This isn't a detail that matters on smooth floors, but it becomes relevant when you're moving between the trailhead and your vehicle, walking on wet surfaces, or simply need confident footing during post-run routines. The traction pattern provides grip that typical recovery slides simply don't offer.

Packable Tote for On-the-Go Recovery

The 008 comes equipped with a packable tote bag, allowing you to bring recovery footwear to races, training camps, or multi-day efforts without adding bulk to your kit. Slip them on immediately post-run to begin recovery whilst your feet are still warm, or use them around camp during multi-day efforts. The premium foam construction and arch support work best when used consistently, not just occasionally.

Is the norda 008 Right for You?

The norda 008 is built for runners who understand that recovery begins the moment you finish running. If you log serious trail mileage, race ultras, or simply want to protect your feet properly during recovery rather than wearing standard slides that offer nothing beyond basic cushioning, the engineered arch support and dual-density construction serve a genuine purpose. The Vibram® ECOSTEP sole provides traction that matters when moving between terrain types post-run, whilst the packable tote makes it practical to bring recovery footwear wherever you're running. It's recovery footwear designed with the same material precision and functional purpose that defines norda's running shoes — because what you wear after the run matters as much as what you wear during it. Note: Size up half a size from your normal shoe size.
