PRESA
Each PRESA sole is carefully developed with the shoe's usage context in mind. Measuring key performance indicators (including grip on dry and wet ground, and resistance) is fundamental in choosing the best sole according to the activity for which the shoe was designed. This outer sole is the result of meticulous research into materials, density, and inserts to create the right balance between control, precision, and comfort. The compounds are specially designed for outdoor use, aiming to achieve maximum performance in all weather conditions and on all types of terrain, without compromising durability.
