The Pilgrim HL uses the same technology found in the Pilgrim
to produce a stable, secure and highly breathable boot. Stability is provided by the IMS (Internal Midsole System) which is
designed to reduce the risk of injury and increase safety when
load carrying. IMS uses an anatomically shaped 3D midsole that
mimics the natural foot shape. Normally midsoles are flat and
offer no support to the foot, only dictating the stiffness of the
boot. With an IMS 3D midsole the foot is cradled in a relaxed
position therefore reducing fatigue and minimising slippage.
Above the IMS midsole is a 3mm layer of high density EVA.
This protects the user from loading forces particularly when
carrying heavy packs. It also provides a layer of protective support for foot rather than it resting on a hard material. Below the
IMS midsole is a thicker layer of 5mm (under the forefoot) and
17mm (under the heel) high density EVA which absorbs impact
