Impact Brake System

This innovative system is applied to the sole so that it absorbs negative ground impact, boosts traction on ascents, and improves grip on descents. The unique positioning of the studs allows as many of them as possible to be in contact with the ground, ensuring optimal impact absorption.

EVA inject�e

It provides better cushioning and more elasticity during your stride than a molded EVA sole. It maintains its shape over time.

Frixion Red

Optimal combination of grip, wear resistance, and shock absorption. Used on versatile soles.

Stabilizer

Side panels designed for better stability.

Gore-Tex Extended Comfort - Chaussure

The Gore-Tex Extended Comfort membrane provides waterproof and reliable protection in all circumstances. No matter the adventure, this coating ensures your feet stay dry. It is composed of a single layer to guarantee maximum breathability, increased lightness, and reduced drying time.

Trail Bite Heel

Pronounced heel for better braking and a reassuring grip on the descent.

Ortholite Hybrid

These insoles are made from 20% recycled materials sourced from the manufacturing cycle. They are designed for both men's and women's feet, with different thicknesses and materials depending on the average weight of the user.
