Kova Loft on the road

Get back into running without the day-after ache.

Cushioned rebound, built for the comeback.

Cushioned rebound, built for the comeback.

Picking running back up this spring? The Kova Loft is built for exactly that — a moulded 5.5cm high-rebound midsole absorbs the impact and springs back, so the jarring you get from old, flat trainers is dialled down from the very first run.

A dynamic arch cradle flexes to high arches and flat feet alike — no separate insole needed. The seamless jacquard upper breathes and flexes with no stitched seams to rub, and an anti-slip rubber patch across the MD outsole holds the road when it's damp.

It's the cushioned build premium daily trainers charge around $260 for. This one's $119.

Reviews

  • "Kind to my knees on the first runs back"

    Started jogging again to shift some weight and my knees were not happy in my old shoes. These take the sting out of the landing — I can actually back up two days in a row now.

    Julie, Adelaide SA


  • "Didn't think I needed proper runners"

    Mate dragged me to a Saturday parkrun in my skate shoes. Grabbed these instead — night and day. Cushioned but not clunky, and they don't look like medical shoes.

    Tom, Brisbane QLD




  • "First week back and the morning ache is gone"

    Started running again after five years off and my shins were wrecked every morning in my old shoes. Third "cushioned" pair I've tried, first one that actually did something. Thick stack but it doesn't feel tippy.

    Mark, Geelong VIC

The Kova Loft Difference

Four ways it gets you running again.

5.5cm high-rebound midsole.

Lands softer, morning after included.

A moulded 5.5cm rebound stack absorbs impact and springs back, so the jarring you get from flat, worn-out trainers on the return-to-running phase is dialled down from the first run.

Dynamic arch cradle — no insole.

Fits flat feet and high arches.

The midsole cradles and flexes to your arch shape — high or flat — so you get support without buying a separate orthotic insole. One shoe, both foot types.

Seamless jacquard knit upper.

Breathes with no seams to rub.

A one-piece jacquard knit upper vents heat and flexes with your foot, with no stitched seams to create hot spots on longer runs.

Anti-slip patch + MD outsole.

Grips the wet, wears slow.

A rubber anti-slip patch across the high-wear zones of the MD outsole holds damp pavement and resists scuffing, run after run.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does this do?

It's a cushioned daily running shoe with a 5.5cm high-rebound midsole and a dynamic arch cradle. It lands softer than flat EVA and suits high arches or flat feet, so returning runners get impact protection without a sore next morning.

Is this good for someone getting back into running?

Yes — the deep rebound cushioning is aimed at the return-to-running phase, where flat old shoes leave your shins and knees aching. It softens the landing so you can back up the next day.

I've bought "comfortable" shoes before that did nothing — why is this different?

Because the cushioning is a moulded 5.5cm rebound stack, not a thin EVA layer. It absorbs impact and springs back — you feel it on the second run, not just the first.

Will they fit flat feet?

Yes. The dynamic arch cradle flexes to both flat and high arches, so you don't need a separate orthotic insole.

What size am I? (EU / AU / foot length)

These run unisex EU 36–45 in every colour. The reliable way to size is to measure your longest foot in centimetres and match the chart — foot length doesn't lie, size labels do:

EU 36 — AU Women 6 / AU Men 4 — 23.0 cm

EU 37 — AU Women 7 / AU Men 5 — 23.5 cm

EU 38 — AU Women 8 / AU Men 6 — 24.0 cm

EU 39 — AU Women 9 / AU Men 7 — 24.5 cm

EU 40 — AU Women 10 / AU Men 8 — 25.0 cm

EU 41 — AU Women 11 / AU Men 9 — 25.5 cm

EU 42 — AU Women 12 / AU Men 10 — 26.0 cm

EU 43 — AU Women 13 / AU Men 11 — 26.5 cm

EU 44 — AU Women 14 / AU Men 12 — 27.0 cm

EU 45 — AU Women 15 / AU Men 13 — 27.5 cm

Between sizes? Go up one. Not sure? Order your best guess — returns are free for 30 days.

How is this cheaper than the big running brands?

Same jacquard upper and cushioned build the ~$260 trainers use, without the brand markup — we sell direct. It's $119 a pair, or two for $199.

How long does shipping take?

We offer free shipping within AU. Standard delivery takes 5–12 business days. You'll receive a tracking number via email once your order ships.

What if I'm not happy?

30-day comfort guarantee. Full refund, no questions asked.
