TLS+ Lacing

TLS+ Lacing

Combined with a specifically developed high-tech Dyneema® lace and new lace loops, it offers the ultimate pro-level fit, lockdown, and foothold. The simplistic power of just pulling up two handles control the top and bottom section of the boot for custom and zonal adjustment.

Molded TLS Lace Gliders

Strategically placed molded Lace Gliders on the boots lacing eyelets reduce friction to a minimum for more defined and powerful lacing.
Vibram®

Vibram® Outsole with Litebase Technology

Vibram Litebase drastically reduces the weight of a rubber sole while maintaining performance. The thickness of the rubber base is reduced to 50% from regular outdoor performance outsoles. Consequently, the weight of the tread is reduced by up to 30%. The result is a professional grade lightweight Vibram sole, with patterns identical to those of a traditional Vibram sole and it has the features of traction and durability.
