:Technology · Shock absorbing materials
 

Polyurethane

The shock-absorbing wedges of technical mountain boots are made of water based polyurethane (instead of CFC) in order to make walking more comfortable and considering the environment.
This new type of polyurethane produces high performance at extreme low temperatures and in combination with soft rubber compounds ensures a very good grip on every type of terrain. This material also has high thermal insulation values.


Micro

The insert of the heel of more traditional sole styles is made in synthetic rubber which conserves its elasticity during the years. This compound even under high pressure regains its original form which results in a shock-absorbing function. This material also has high thermal insulation values.
