Vitale Bramani developed the first Vibram rubber outsoles after the deaths of six of his friends in the Alps. In 1937 the first units were patented and launched. Today the yellow logo is found on everything from rock climbing shoes to high altitude mountaineering boots. Vibram remains the most recognised and respected manufacturer of outdoor footwear outsoles in the world and is renowned for the stickiness and durability of its products. |
Soft, downturned shoes are all the rage these days, and for steep stuff, bouldering and training that's great, but what if you've got 20 pitches of edging and jamming to get through? Scarpa's new Techno X is designed for all day comfort, while still retaining enough precision to climb hard. Because, let's face it, if it ain't hard, what's the point?
You get a flat last with moderate heel tension and a Bi-Tension rand gets maximum performance out of minimum pain. Asymmetric lacing gives plenty of adjustment and allows the Techno X to fit a wide variety of foot shapes. The rand extends over the top of the shoe for great friction and protection when jamming. And the colour scheme is definitely Techno.
