OUTER SHOE
CUFFS
The skating technique requires more lateral ankle support for improved performance . So the boot has an externally fixed cuff , which provides rigidity and lateral stability to the ankle , to gain better responsiveness with optimal grip . Cuffs are made of carbon ( which are extremely lightweight ) or plastic . All are anatomically and ergonomically designed , employ a ' Velcro ' power strap ( some with EV-padding ) and are attached to the heel counter with rivets or screws .
FULL CARBON
The anatomic full carbon cuff is extremely light and delivers maximal stiffness and superior lateral responsiveness . EVApadding delivers superior comfort , while the power strap ensures optimal ankle fit and adjustable ankle grip .
GAITERS
One-piece seamless gaiters cover the shoe and lower leg completely . Gaiters are water-tight , with a water-tight zipper and elastic , and protect against cold , water , moisture and snow . And the boot instep is adaptable to different foot shapes .
PVC NEOPRENE
PVC is strong and lightweight , soft and flexible , and highly durable , while neoprene maintains good flexibility over a wide temperature range and offers good insulation against both wet and cold .
CARBON
A light anatomic carbon cuff delivering exceptional stiffness , lateral stability and responsiveness . Equipped with a power strap for optimal ankle fit , superior comfort and adjustable ankle grip .
INJECTED CARBON
Carbon fibre particles and PU materials infused into exterior boot construction reduce the weight , consequently increasing the functionality and durability of the boot . Injected carbon cuffs take a firm hold of the ankle . They ensure better longitudinal stability and improved stance position while maintaining comfort .
TPU SKATE
Thermoplastic polyurethane provides good stiffness and lateral stability , while the power strap provides superior comfort and adjustable ankle grip .
TPU COMBI
The COMBI boot is designed for the classic technique . It has a softer flex sole , and is equipped with a cuff that provides less experienced skiers with more lateral support and stability to the ankle , and can be adjusted to the desired level of comfort .
4 DRY TEXTILE
4DRY stands for an innovative system made from bielastic PES textile material that allows the boot to breathe . It is laminated with a memebrane where needed and designed with sublimation print for better abrasion . The material feels light on foot and is hydrophobic , whisking away the moisture , ensuring a dry and relaxed foot .
ELASTIC INSERT
For gaiter adaptability to various lower leg shapes .
INNER SHOE
LACING
45 °
A braid angle of 45 ° relative to the longitudinal direction of the shoe improves the torsional stability of the soft part of the shoe . This ensures a tight fit between the shoe and the foot in the rotation phase of the shoe toward the inner side when skiing the skating technique .
ANATOMIC FOOTBED
Insole contributes significantly to the vertical stability of the foot , providing a high level of comfort and improves the thermal insulation of the shoe .
ALPITEX MEMBRANE
The Alpitex membrane provides additional protection against water and moisture , which increases comfort , even in more extreme weather conditions
THINSULATE INSULATION
“ Thinsulate ” insulation provides up to twice as much thermal shoe insulation . Even under extremely cold and highhumidity conditions it provides the foot with maximum thermal comfort .
