IMPACT BRAKE SYSTEM™ Designed to reduce up to 20% of the impact forces acting on the feet, legs and back with each step while walking on hard ground. Due to the slanted and opposing angles of the lugs, the impact forces are reduced. The opposing slanted lugs actually deform upon impact to absorb 20% of the shock imposed upon the body. The Impact Brake System™ soles also offer superior grip on very steep terrain increase traction by 20% due to the sculpted heel brake, offset lugs and the synergy with the asymmetric axis of the foot.

MPE ®
SCHOELLER® DYNAMIC
ECO-BUILT
Stands for Mountain Performance Evolution, made by Skywalk utilizing a dual density SBR grid design and SBR air cushion to increase cushion and comfort in the sole of the boot.
Schoeller®-Dynamic are comfortable allround functional fabrics. Characterized by durability, freedom of movement and a high level of clothing comfort, makes schoeller®-dynamic the preferred fabric for technical apparel. The different color versions can be used in summer and winter wear. Used in Cordura®, Dorlastan® or polyamide.
ECO BUILT products are more environmentally friendly yet still rugged enough to meet our quality and durability standards while being technically proficient in the mountains. The result is less waste from production, longer life spans and the use of recycled materials throughout the line.

3D FLEX SYSTEM™
GORE-TEX ®
This innovative system uses a multi-directional upper hinge that allows the ankle to take advantage of its natural characteristics. The total freedom of movement of the ankle allows using the boots flex while rocking and transforming it into pure power during the pushing phase. The upper flexes following the movement of the foot, supporting it laterally on steep and rough terrain and ensuring a stable hold. This allows for a comfortable fit and even flex after several hours of use.
SURROUND®:
BOA ®
SENSITIVITY
Best-in-class climate control plus guaranteed waterproofness. The Surround® technology works by channeling heat and moisture away from your feet in every direction for 360˚ of breathability and all-day comfort.
INVISIBLE FIT:
A membrane engineered to directly bond to the footwear upper to eliminate any wrinkles or folds, thus reducing pressure points and creating a true-to-size fit. With this technology, you receive the benefits of water protection with a more flexible fit/feel that’s closer to nonGore-Tex® shoes.
EXTENDED COMFORT:
The BOA® closure system consists of a micro-adjustable dial, superstrong lightweight cable laces, and low friction lace guides. With a focus on optimized fit, precision, adaptability, and control. The dial allows for instant, single-handed fine tuning as precise as 1mm. You can easily adjust for comfort or a more targeted performance without ever losing focus. And once the dial is set, the Boa closure stays that way.
Designed for maximum breathability during intense physical endeavors.
PERFORMANCE COMFORT:
For all types of outdoor activities in adverse conditions.
INSULATED COMFORT:
Keeps you warm and dry and protected in extreme winter and weather conditions.
