FORGE
THE ULTIMATE ANATOMICAL LAST We wanted to create a new, out-of-the box fit experience
that is both comfortable and precise. We achieved this goal by designing a unique last, which is a true mirror of the foot. With its fully anatomical shape, the forge last delivers unparalleled fit and allows tecnica to pre-shape the FORGE and FORGE S with anatomical precision.
STANDARD TREKKING LAST All outdoor boots are designed and built around a generic last. Each brand has a different solution; each searching to accommodate the widest range of feet.
TECNICA’S ANATOMICAL LAST We created a true, fully anatomical last, including malleolar pads and a fully supportive arch. As the last is the starting point for every shoe, this unique approach allowed us to create a new generation of Trekking boots - completely anatomical, pre-shaped, precise, supportive and comfortable. > Anatomically supportive arch and consequently anatomically supportive footbed. > Anatomically shaped ankle with malleolar pads for a fully pre-shaped cuff.

FORGE
CUSTOM ADAPTIVE SHAPE For decades, wearing boots that did not fit or required long break-in times was the norm. With Custom Adaptive Shape technology, Tecnica has established a new norm. You can now expect a level of comfort, precision and performance that meets your individual needs.
TECNICA C.A.S. – Custom adaptive shape In 2018, Tecnica introduced the FORGE, the industry’s first, truly customizable boot. In only 20 minutes, one can experience an in-store customization process that results in a personalized and unique fit– a fit SHAPED FOR YOU. > No more boots that are too tight or too roomy. > No more heel pressure or not enough heel hold. > No more need to buy expensive after-market footbeds. > No break-in time; the fit is perfect from the very first step.
