SOCK 1.5
Breathability: +100%. Comfort: infinite.
Thanks to this innovative technique, the upper of the shoe is a partial double-layer sock. The instep and toe box feature a single layer, while the sides, toe and heel are double-layered. This allows a 100% increase in breathability and superior stability in strategic areas.

Grip and stability. Inspired by natureURBAN TRAIL SOLE
The sole design is inspired by the hoof of the ibex, the best climber in nature. Even the smallest ledge is enough for a ibex to find a secure footing. The secret behind it is their hooves: the outer edge of the hoof is made of hard horn. This gives the animal a secure grip. Inside the hoof are soft fat pads that absorb the pressure and release it. Likewise, the outer layer of the Urban Trail sole is made of harder rubber to ensure optimal traction and a secure hold. The inner part is made of softer rubber. This offers optimal grip on wet surfaces and at the same time it absorbs impact forces. <h3>Two-piece forefoot</h3> Based on the hoof shape of even-toed ungulates, the front part of the sole is divided into two. This gives the foot more flexibility for optimal power transmission <h3>Closed hoof heel</h3> The greatest pressure forces occur at the heel. For this reason, the heel part of the sole is based on a horse‘s hoof. This distributes the pressure evenly around the heel bone
The sustainability of nature, the performance of hi-tech yarnPAPER COTTONPaper Cotton is a 100% plant-based technical yarn with amazing active performances. It is derived from Manila hemp, following the traditional Japanese “Washi” paper making process, and blended with cotton to increase lightness and freshness. The result is a natural material that, thanks to its specific weight of 0.5 g/cm3, is three times lighter than cotton (1.54 g/cm3). The union of these two yarns allows Paper Cotton to maintain all the properties of paper fibers, which has a great ability to absorb moisture quickly and effectively, has an excellent bacteriostatic effect preventing the formation of bad odors and shields UV rays that are harmful to health. PAPER COTTON gives the highest level of comfort to the skin without the least environmental cost. In fact, the Manila Hemp used to produce the yarn is grown without the use of pesticides and its cultivation is of great help to native biodiversity.
