Technical data

Sole
VIBRAM® MASAI
The high-performance sole VIBRAM® MASAI is optimally designed for use on alpine terrain. The “climbing zone” on the sole tip enables wearers to move precisely as they manoeuvre their way up sheer rock faces. The stud arrangement ensures that any dirt that accu­mulates in the sole of the footwear will be shaken loose while the boot wearer is walking. The distinctive heel provides walking comfort partic­ularly during descents.
CLIMBING ZONE
A specially constructed component in the area of the sole tip for precise performance during easy climbs.
Vibram®
Proven Vibram® rubber sole from a high-quality provider from Italy.

Midsole
100% Poly­urethane (PU)
Poly­urethane (PU) is a soft plastic that has very good cush­ioning prop­erties and is usually used in the midsole as a result. Through the use of PU, the soles become light­weight and func­tionally flexible.

Insole
Approx. 40% Polyester
Polyester is synthetic plastic fibre made from crude oil. In chemical terms, it is a polymer that can be processed into many different materials. Thanks to its chemical flex­ibility, polyester is light­weight, dries quickly, does not shrink and has the highest levels of tear and abrasion resistance.

Approx. 10% Mesh
Mesh is a material that consists of many evenly spaced holes. It is usually made of polyester or nylon and basically a lattice-like material that is created by interwoven threads. Thanks to its special design, the man-made fibre is partic­ularly permeable to air, has special moisture-regu­lating qualities and is easy to care for, breathable and crease-resistant.

Approx. 50% Viscoelastic latex foam
Viscoelastic latex foam is made of a remarkable polymer that lends a special form memory to the foam. Once body heat or pressure is applied to the viscoelastic foam, the foam adapts exactly to these particular contours. This feature equally distributes pressure and eases stress on the feet.

Upper material
100% Nubuck leather
Nubuck leather is a full-grain leather that is slightly sanded, a process that lends a velvety look to the leather. Nubuck leather is espe­cially durable, robust and open-pored. Depending on the desired look, nubuck leather can remain untreated or be oiled or waxed.

Lining material
GORE-TEX 100%
Guar­anteed weather protection, even in pouring rain and heavy snow: The TIBET GTX is equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane. The innovative tech­nology delivers optimal waterproof protection and breath­ability.

Permanently waterproof
The membrane provides reliable waterproof protection. No matter what sort of adventure you may be planning, you can count on GORE-TEX tech­nology to keep your feet pleasantly dry.

High breath­ability
Designed with optimal breath­ability in mind, GORE-TEX shoes provide pleasant comfort even during intense activities. Water cannot penetrate the footwear, and moisture produced inside the shoe escapes through billions of pores in the GORE-TEX membrane.
Windproof
The GORE-TEX membrane dependably fights off the wind and the weather. As a result, you can head off on a tour no matter what the weather is like.

Functions

MINIMAL SEAMS
Avoidance of unne­cessary stitches to reduce pressure points.
X-LACING®
Holds the tongue in place with the help of the laces and prevents slippage in the process.
ROLLER EYELETS
Roller eyelets make for easy lacing.
I-LOCK
Special fastening hooks divide the lacing system into two zones so they can be inde­pendently locked in place.
FLEXFIT®
Increased flex­ibility of the upper for pleasant walking.
TWO ZONE LACING
The forefoot and upper area can be laced in varying degrees of tightness.
C4-TONGUE
Special tongue construction with asym­metric padding for even pressure distri­bution.
Footwear stiffness
STIFF
As a result of its construction, the footwear exhibits a strong resistance to bending.
