- We worked closely with the engineering staff at Easton® to develop proprietary outsoles that provide the most direct, powerful connection to the pedals without compromising comfort. Using advanced modeling and proprietary fixturing in our extensive test lab, every outsole is engineered to provide ideal stiffness in 3 zones: Toe, Arch, and Heel, while maintaining the lowest possible weight and stack-height (as low as 6.5mm).
- Teijin® microfiber is widely considered to be the world's finest. Made in Japan and engineered to provide the same supple feel of the finest natural leathers, it is durable and breathable yet resists moisture, stretching and discoloration.
- In addition to infinite adjustability and the ability to conform to each zone of the foot, laces offer easy replacement and customization, a more natural feel across the foot and reliability in even the most adverse conditions. Our tubular woven laces are designed to be highly durable, light and to hold a knot securely without slipping.
