Technologies

S.L.W.2 Closing System

The micrometric system S.L.W. 2 (Speed Lace Winch) represents the evolution of the closure system. Maximum precision and modularity. The innovative step by step closure means you can tighten and enlarge the fit in a few moments. The side button provides a dual function: by pressing, it features a micrometric release and lifting it allows a complete and immediate opening of the shoe. More lightweight and thinner. The dial has been completely redesigned in size and weight, resulting in being significantly lighter and thinner. The external covering in soft touch material also makes the grip more effective. The ergonomic shape of the S.L.W. 2 ratchet follows the anatomy of the foot to make it really comfortable. The S.L.W. 2 ratchet is easily replaceable. The cables come from the best technology derived from the world of sailing.

Gore-Tex

Gore-Tex shoes offer comfort and protection in all weather conditions. The microscopic pores of the Gore-Tex membrane are impenetrable but allow sweat and heat to escape, keeping your feet warm and dry.

X-Frame 2

After revolutionizing upper design and setting the benchmark for how to transfer every watt of power while providing the snuggest, even fit with no pressure points, X-Frame has now evolved into X-Frame 2 to bring you an unrivalled standard of custom fit that adapts to any type of foot.
