The VIBRAM® ROCK TRAC® EVO sole showcases all its qualities on alpine terrains: it not only provides good grip, but also ensures optimal comfort with a blend of Vibram® Megagrip rubber and a triangular profiling.

DynaPU+
The DynaPU+ material is a specially designed foam for the midsole of the shoe. Its primary function is to ensure proper foot movement and cushioning of the shoe.
