Technologies
-
Gore-Tex
A guaranteed protection against the elements, even in heavy rain or snowfall. Gore-Tex technology makes the shoes waterproof and breathable.
-
X-Lacing
An optimal positioning of the tongue without pressure zones or slipping: this is what the X-Lacing technology offers. This special lacing system secures the tongue both vertically and horizontally. The result is complete independence between the instep height and the lacing system, making the lacing perfect regardless of the foot's shape. In this technology, the pressure from the laces is distributed between the eyelets and the tongue.
-
Vibram
Vibram rubber delivers high performance. Vibram soles are designed with three main focuses: traction, comfort, and protection.
