Technologies

IMS3
IMS1 is combined with an Exoskeleton construction in medium density polyurethane, which provides stability and protection, and an internal part in ultra-light polyurethane, which guarantees cushioning and high shock absorption and compressive strength.

AIR 8000
Laboratory tests carried out by Gore Tex confirm that the upper made with the exclusive AKU AIR 8000® system offers a level of breathability up to 11.5 times higher than normal standards. Almost 20 years later, the AKU AIR 8000® system remains one of the most advanced technologies to guarantee excellent breathability of mountain shoes.

GORE-TEX®
The GORE-TEX® membrane contains approximately 1.4 billion microscopic pores per square centimetre. These pores are approximately 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, but 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapour. Thus, while water droplets cannot penetrate the GORE-TEX® membrane, water vapour, i.e. sweat in gaseous form, escapes easily. For the footwear industry, GORE-TEX® has developed 3 specific types of laminates with specific functional properties.

Vibram
The sole must copy the anatomical and helical shape of the bottom of the AKU lasts, in order to support and enhance their anatomical and dynamic characteristics. Other aspects to pay attention to are: the reliability which must be consistent with the use for which the shoe was designed and with a view to minimal waste of material and the search for simplicity of interface/assembly between the sole and the other components of the shoe.

Anatomical fit
Comfortable and enveloping anatomical shapes for footwear in the Trekking segment, designed to offer comfort and stability and to promote dynamic action when walking on mountain paths with uneven surfaces.

Elica
Each shoe in the collection is developed taking into consideration the specific needs of shape and fit, which vary in relation to the different models and the function of use of the product. Each project is aimed at promoting the natural movement of the foot , allowing natural support and push, to offer optimal comfort when walking.
