Technology Overview

NARROW ARROW CONSTRUCTION

A fit has been developed which takes consideration of the broader front section of the foot, the slimmer but higher middle section as well as women’s smaller heel bones.

 

ISO BLOCKER

The ISO Blocker™ – prevents cold air from entering, reduces the incidence of pressure points, and ventilates the intermediate area and keeps it dry.

 

TOE PROTECTOR

The asymmetric Toe Protector of Robur™ absorbs pressure and perfectly hugs the contour of the asymmetric toe area.

 

PULL-ON NON-SLIP FLAP

Short socks have definite advantages: They are especially light and comfortable, and they do not trap excess heat.

 

SOCK-IN-A-SOCK SYSTEM

Double-sock technology has reduced the chances of developing blisters to almost zero, even during sustained periods of physical activity.

 

CALF PROTECTOR

The calf protector pads and relieves strain on the muscles, without restricting them.

 

SHIN PROTECTOR/ROD-TYPE PADDING

The thicker the cushion the better the protection.

 

SIDE PROTECTOR

Special side impact protectors regulate and support the function of the AirConditioning Channel® in the respective application.

 

HEEL PROTECTOR

The heel area is particularly prone to blisters: The Heel Protector absorbs friction and thus effectively decreases the risk of blistering.

 

LAMBERTZ-NICHOLSON ACHILLES' TENDON PROTECTOR

The special Lambertz-Nichols Achilles’ tendon Protector prevents strain on the sensitive Achilles tendon because it is protected by a surrounding cushion.

 

INSTEP PROTECTOR

The Instep Protector cushions and acts as a shock-absorber, significantly reducing the incidence of painful pressure points and scraping, bruising and blistering.

 

STRETCHING RIB

Air can easily circulate along the ribs. With every revolution of the pedal moisture is pumped out from inside the shoe and is transported over the ribs.

 

SELF-ADJUSTING CUFF

The Self-adjusting cuff adapts to any size leg without slipping or constricting.

 

DUCKBILL SHAPED FOOTGUARD

The duckbill shaped foot guard pads the toes, instep, and balls of the feet against the heavy strain encountered when attacking a hill, and during high intensity sprints.

 

TOETIP PROTECTOR

Sometimes the smallest things can have the largest impact.

 

TRAVERSE AIRFLOW CHANNEL SYSTEM™

The Traverse AirFlow Channel System™ is a ventilation system made up of three channels that conduct moisture and heat to the intake area of the AirConditioning Channel®.

 

X-CROSS® BANDAGE

Our feet depend on the fine tuned interaction of tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints.

 

ANATOMICALLY-SHAPED FOOTBED

Our entire body weight is borne by only a few small areas of the foot.

 

Air Guide

An AirGuide along the AirConditioning Channel® facilitates efficient air circulation. Placed along the AirConditioning Channel®, it creates a thin layer of air between the boot and your skin and thus ensures the continual circulation of fresh air If the foot is dry, chances are lower that a blister will form.

 

AirFlow Ankle Pads

Cushions and secures the ankle, maintains a protective distance from the shoe and ensures continuous air circulation.

 

AirCool Stripes

The longer the days get, the more active we become. And activity often means sports – anything from a leisurely stroll to a marathon.

 

AirConditioning Channel®

We positioned the AirConditioning Channel® under the foot-arch, the area of the foot that normally does not touch the ground.

 

Achilles tendon protector

The Achilles’ tendon Protector reduces the incidence of pressure points and the risk of scraping and bruising.
