BowTech is a patented kinetic technology that enhances the natural mechanics of the foot, measurably boosting energy return while providing a healthier run. The glass fiber-reinforced Pebax infrastructure enhances propulsive locomotion by storing kinetic energy and releasing it during push-off and acceleration, while also supporting the foot’s windlass mechanism for added stability and control. The BowTech system provides acceleration boosts and higher energy returns while being supportive and ergonomic. The combination of increased support and power reduces load on muscles and joints, leaving you feeling lighter, more dynamic and less fatigued during long distance exertion.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this shoe right for me?

If you're an ambitious runner looking for a responsive, stable ride that can handle daily mileage, long runs, and tempo work, this one’s for you. The CEP Omnispeed is made for performance, not casual wear, so it's best suited for runners chasing goals, not errands.

How does the CEP Omnispeed compare to other running shoes?

The CEP Omnispeed is a performance-focused "super trainer" built for runners who want responsive cushioning and smooth transitions without the rigidity of a carbon-plated shoe. You get that springy, plated feel with added support and a more natural ride.

what does the BowTech plate actually do?

The BowTech plate mirrors the shape of your arch to help guide your stride while storing and releasing energy with every step. It supports natural foot mechanics and adds subtle stability through your ankle and midfoot.

How is the BowTech plate different from a carbon plate?

Unlike stiff, flat carbon plates, the BowTech plate is a flexible glass fiber reinforced Pebax plate and shaped like an arch. It supports your natural movement and gives you rebound without the harsh feel of a traditional carbon plate.

What kind of terrain is the CEP Omnispeed built for?

This shoe is made for the road, ideally on pavement, track, and paved trails. It can handle smooth gravel or dirt thanks to its wide base, but it’s not built for technical trail running or softer surfaces.

What socks work best with the CEP Omnispeed?

The Pro Run Omnispeed is designed for a precise fit and works best with a performance, moisture-wicking sock. We recommend the CEP Ultralight or Run 5.0 collection to enhance comfort, reduce friction, and deliver the ultimate ride.

How should I lace the CEP Omnispeed for the best fit?

The magic of BOWTECH starts with proper fit. For best results, lace snugly (not tightly) to activate the TPU cage. If you experience minor heel slippage, especially if you sized up, try the marathon or race-lock lacing technique to secure your heel without added pressure.

HELPFUL TIPS

Sizing & Fit

For best fit, consider sizing up by half a size.

Lacing for a Locked-In Fit
If you're noticing heel slippage, try the runner’s knot (also called marathon or race-lock lacing) to secure your heel without extra pressure:

Lace normally until the second-to-last eyelet.
Thread each lace up into the top eyelet on the same side, forming small loops.
Cross the laces and tuck each end through the opposite loop.
Pull snug, then tie as usual.

Care Instructions

Remove laces before cleaning
Gently scrub with warm water and mild soap using a soft brush
Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry (avoid direct heat or sunlight)
Replace shoes every 350-450 miles for optimal performance

Good running shoes but painful

"There are serious issues with running on toes and on the tendon at the rear of the foot, specifically above the heel. The shoes are comfortable to run in, you just need socks that resist abrasion. There is also a lack of high level quality control and quality assurance when it comes to aesthetic of the shoes. My pair had a lot of adhesive squeeze out where the shoe sole meets the shoe upper. If aesthetics are not your primary concern this shoe fits the bill. But for the price I would like my pair to both function well and appear nicely."

Great Design

"This is my first time trying this kind of shoes. It takes some time to get used to, but after a while, this is my go-to shoes for running."

— KUNG-HUA C. (5/5)

Aw HECK NAH

"this thing is 10. 5 ounces which is WAY too heavy for a speed shoe. And the arch. What the heck. It pushes up SO MUCH on the arch. And honestly feels like the shoe slows me down when running. Definitely not worth the money"

— Austin D. (1/5)

Good shoes

"They take some getting used to but we'll worth the effort. These are the first pair of running shoes I have owned that are not very comfortable to walk in but incredible to actually Run in. The cons I have experienced are:MAJOR friction on the posterior heel area. Need heavy duty blister protection for use. Overall I love the shoes."
