Eva

A soft, cellular foam material known for its lightweight, flexible and cushioning properties.

Polyurethane

A synthetic material frequently used as an alternative to leather in the manufacturing of footwear. PU is light, flexible and durable.

Vibram®

A durable, non-slip, outsole typically found on hiking boots. Vibram soles are studied to give wearers perfect control over any type of surface under their feet and allow them to experience extreme performance in complete safety.

Seamless One Piece Upper

A PU coated nylon textile, woven after coating, to maintain air permeability plus offer extreme abrasion resistance. We reinforced contact areas with two layers of highly durable TPU film and heat set the entire piece into one smooth surface. This process allows air exchange through the mesh while increasing durability. All materials are hydrophobic for fast drying. Separate construction of the upper from the liner leaves a minute air space, which acts as a conduit for air exchange and moisture dispersion, greatly enhancing performance comfort. The simplicity and elegance of precision thermolamination is clean and technical, creating a smooth, uninterrupted surface resistant to abrasion, not subject to failure at seams, with lower overall weight.

Premium Injected Eva Midsole

The role of the midsole is to cushion and support the foot while providing fl exibility and precision traction. Highly isolative injected EVA foam is a premium material chosen for its soft resilient nature, high durability and its ability to absorb shock while providing precision stability.

Custom 3-Dimensional Toe And Heel Protection

Toe and heel caps buffer impacts and allow for precise footing. Conventional footwear construction uses one dimensional rubber toe and heel caps that are stretched and glued into place, weakening the material s resistance to cracking and placing constant pressure on the toe area of the shoe. These custom moulded rubber toe and heel caps are three dimensional, individually crafted pieces for each shoe size. These unique, one-piece components are laminated into position, securing fit and structural integrity. This construction prevents the toe area from collapsing over time, adds protection to the most exposed areas of the upper and midosle, and delivers precision support and extra durability.

Durable Outer Shell/ Comfortable Inner Liner

Arc teryx Technical Performance Footwear is a true performance system, with a separate durable outer shell and soft conformable liner for amazing comfort and breathability. Unlike conventional construction, the absence of a tongue gives the liner a larger breathable surface area and increased waterproof coverage. Separate construction of the upper leaves a minute air space between the shell and liner, acting as a conduit for air exchange and moisture dispersion, greatly enhancing performance comfort and optimizing the ability for the liner to dry quickly.
