The boots Blend 2 GTX are equipped with Groundtrax® rubber sole for optimum stability, grip & abrasion resistance. Ortho Lite® insole provides perfect cushioning of the sole of the foot & high breathability for maximum comfort in any situation, even after frequent use. Features Groundtrax® rubber sole Ortho Lite® insole with durable & highly breathable cushioning Reflective inserts for increased visibility Closure: lacing system Leather upper with pull-up finish Reinforced ankle, toe & heel GORE-TEX® Performance Comfort Footwear membrane Gore-Tex® membrane This fine material has important features such as long-term waterproofing, excellent resistance to the most extreme temperatures & high wear resistance. The special microporous structure of the GORE-TEX fabric, made from expanded PTFE, contains around 1.4 billion microscopic pores per square centimeter. These pores are Approx. 20, 000 times smaller than a drop of water, but 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapor. While water cannot penetrate the GORE-TEX membrane in liquid form, perspiration (water vapor) can easily evaporate. The result is a completely waterproof barrier that means the shoe can be used in all climates & guarantees maximum comfort & optimal breathability. Groundtrax® outsoles Groundtrax® outsoles are engineered to ensure stability, grip & traction both on the footpegs & once got off the saddle. This is due to the design of lugs & grooves, as well as the choice of the rubber compound, which also maximize the wear-resistance & self-cleaning of the tread. The sole is featured by a dedicated gear shift area, to provide an higher precision during the ride. Ortholite® foot bed Experience the comfort of the foot beds made with Ortho Lite® PU foam. Long-term cushioning: Ortho Lite® foam compresses less than 5% of its thickness over the lifetime of the footbed, so the cushioning, fit, comfort & performance never change. High level breathability: the open-cells of the Ortho Lite® foam, allows air to circulate in & around the footbed, moving the moisture away & keeping the foot cooler & drier.
