GORE-TEX®

Quick lacing system: (Quick Lace System) An alternative to conventional laces, based on the principle of a sliding slider (brake). This system uses high-strength, thin Kevlar or nylon cables that pass through eyelets with reduced friction. The main benefit is the ability to evenly pull down the entire upper of the shoe in one smooth motion, ensuring precise and secure foot fixation. The mechanism eliminates the risk of the laces coming undone during activity and allows the operational adjustment of the tightness of the shoe even when wearing gloves or in difficult terrain conditions.

Gore-tex: Gore-Tex technology in shoe uppers has revolutionized outdoor footwear by providing a waterproof yet breathable barrier that keeps feet dry and comfortable in a variety of weather conditions. The unique membrane of this material allows water vapour to escape while preventing water penetration, making it ideal for running shoes used in rainy or snowy climates.

OrthoLite®: It is the world standard in shoe insoles, combining a specific polyurethane foam with open-cell technology. Unlike conventional insoles, OrthoLite® does not collapse over time - it retains more than 95% of its original cushioning and shape. Its breathability allows air to circulate directly around the foot, effectively wicking away moisture and keeping the shoe cooler. Plus, it contains an antimicrobial treatment that fights bacteria and odor. It's a lightweight, eco-friendly (contains recycled rubber) and highly comfortable layer that you'll find in quality running, outdoor and urban footwear.

Lightstrike: Lightstrike is an advanced material used in running shoe midsoles that is known for its medium density, lightness and ability to provide excellent cushioning, especially in the heel area. Developed to ensure optimal performance, this material combines durability and energy efficiency, making it a popular choice among elite athletes and recreational runners alike.

Continental™: A technological leader in the production of high-performance soles for outdoor and running shoes. This premium rubber compound, developed by tire experts, guarantees 30% more grip on wet and dry surfaces compared to conventional materials. Continental™ soles provide uncompromising stability, efficient energy transfer and exceptional abrasion resistance, making them the ideal choice for demanding terrain and dynamic movement on asphalt.
