Geometry

Front: toe rocker shorter longerRear: heel stack lower higher not measured

Dashed: average of the catalogue

Toe rocker not measured: typical curve drawn
Heel bevel not measured: generic rounding drawn

Illustrative profile, not a photograph or scan: drawn to scale for a 300 mm shoe from published stack heights and photo estimates of the unloaded shoe (under body weight the foam compresses and the curves flatten). The grey upper is a generic outline, not this shoe’s. Scott Kinabalu Trail: heel 37 mm, forefoot 29 mm (drop 8 mm); toe rocker not measured yet (visible lift over the front 23 % of length), typical shape drawn. Dashed midsole: typical values stand in for what this shoe has no measurement of.

Percent values are relative to shoe length so they compare across images and sizes; widths in millimetres are lab measurements from the cited source, while toe tip and heel heights in millimetres are photo estimates converted for a men’s US 9 (assumed 300 mm long), so approximate. See how rocker geometry is defined.
