Continental rubber, one of the most efficient outsole components on the market, was initially used for automobile racing tires. This technology is used in trail running shoes to provide the same amount of performance and quality; on wet and slippery ground it prevents accidental slipping or sliding.
The upper is a combination of lightweight fabrics and mesh, these materials offer a secure and breathable coverage very efficient and long lasting, does not restrict the movement of the feet but offers a tight wrap that prevents loss of balance on uneven surfaces.
