The world-first foam is scientifically proven to deliver 25% greater energy return and retain itsoptimum levels of underfoot rebound and cushioning for longer, thanks to the infusion of theplanet’s strongest wonder material.
The boot also features a pioneering ADAPTER-FLEX™ groove that allows it to adapt and react to theterrain with the type of agility usually reserved for trail running shoes, GRAPHENE-GRIP™ rubber thatensures the world’s toughest traction over all types of ground, and a super-comfortable upper thatperfectly balances the need for support, protection and breathability.
All this ata weight of just 390g. Prepare for endless adventure.
OUTSOLE:
- GRAPHENE-GRIP™ rubber delivers the world’s toughest grip – insane sticky traction AND increased durability, no compromise. 50% stronger, 50% more elastic, 50% harder wearing – all extending the life of the outsole.
- 35 multi-directional 4mm deep lugs on each shoe have been meticulously shaped and positioned to improve both propulsion at the front and braking at the rear.
- Measured spacing between the lugs prevents debris from sticking to the outsole, while water dispersion channels and rubber dimples give extra grip on slick surfaces.
- Vertical grooves cut into the rubber allow the foot’s metatarsal bones to move more independently, aiding adaptability and flexible grip when hiking over uneven terrain.
- Graphene-enhanced G-FLY™ foam is less resistant to wear, and so retains its optimum levels of cushioned thickness and snappy energy return for longer, helping long-distance thru-hikers and adventurers feel fresher over greater distances.
- The foam gives 25% more energy return. Laboratory tests show that even when the foam is aged to mimic extensive use, it still delivers more energy return than some unaged foams.
- Stack heights of 30mm in the heel and 24mm in the forefoot, help make this our most cushioned boot ever. A 6mm drop hits the sweet spot for long-distance comfort.
- A 10mm deep ADAPTER-FLEX™ groove allows the boot to adapt, react and mould to uneven terrain for a responsive, agile feel that is free of rigidity but full of cushioning. It is positioned to work in tandem with the foot’s midtarsal joint to increase flex and mobility.
- Flexible fit of the knitted upper adjusts to the natural swelling of the foot when hiking long distances. Lightweight, breathable and quick drying, this super-comfortable boot is designed to go all day, every day.
- Extra durable overlays protect hard wearing zones against debris and vegetation.
- Lacing system has been specifically designed for fluid lace movement when putting the boot on or taking it off. The top speed hooks on either side include grooves that grip the laces when tied, aiding a secure hold.
- Wide toe-box, plush tongue and padded collar all enhance the overall hike comfort, while a double-layered toe guard increases protection against rocky terrain.
