Vibram® has been one of the leading brands of high-quality soles for many years, offering a variety of rubber blends and sole units to cover each boots specific end use requirements.

This product can be resoled by a specialist (in the UK we recommend Lancashire Sports Repairs). They're constructed in a way where the upper of the footwear is retained, and a new sole can be added to it.

Particularly rigid, the midsole will remain firm even when subjected to stress.

Independently adjustable lacing zones, one on the forefoot and one on the upper, for an improved individualised fit and better adjustments for personal comfort and different foot anatomy.

Patented LOWA technology holds the tongue in place both vertically and horizontally. This prevents slippage, reducing pressure points or blisters. The X-Lacing ensures that the pressure of the laces is transferred not just to the hooks but to the tongue as well.

Exclusive patented LOWA locking cam hooks, to easily allow for the lower & upper areas of the foot to be tightened separately, allowing for a more precise lacing fit.

To ensure that the laces run flexibly and smoothly through the eyelets, small roller balls minimise friction in the metal loops and provide easy lacing.

The overall height of the midsole is kept to a bare minimum, reducing space to the ground providing natural feel, grip and stability on all terrain.

Toe area of the shoe is designed in such a way that the distance to the rock is kept to a bare minimum, to create a good feel between your toes and the rock.

To reduce the stress caused every time the foot is planted, and make heel support more comfortable, a heel cushion was developed for the shank as a way of creating a pleasant walking sensation.

Anatomically shaped tongue for improved flex and comfort. Combined with asymmetric padding, it helps avoid pressure points and substantially enhances comfort.

Each lace hook is affixed to separate soft leather or textile trim, which will move independently to create a more individualised fit for the foot. It prevents pressure points on specific areas, while maintaining the tongues optimum position.

Easier ankle movement due to integrated "FlexZone" and flexible Lace Loop. This saves energy and increases comfort.

This flat support zone under the toes makes easy scrambling possible thanks to a more secure foot placement.

The boot has a pronounced rear welt, but no front welt, so are suitable to take a semi-automatic crampon.
