REARFOOT GEL CUSHIONING SYSTEM - Silicone-based material placed in critical areas of the sole which dampens shock when the foot hits the ground allowing for a smooth movement through the step and reducing the risk of injury.
SOLYTE MIDSOLE MATERIAL - Spongy layer between the sole and upper designed to absorb shock and cushion the foot. Solyte is a lighter material than SpEVA and EVA and features enhanced durability.
TRUSSTIC SYSTEM - Plastic bridge under the arch which gives the shoe strength and stability without loss of flexibility.
ROCK PROTECTION PLATE - Rugged plate in the sole which protects the foot from sharp objects such as rocks and branches.
TRAIL SPECIFIC OUTSOLE - Reversed lugs on the sole which provides uphill and downhill traction on all types of terrain.
MAGIC SOLE - Vented sole and midsole which minimizes weight and maximizes breathability.
