At the center of the Vibram® outsole, under the arch of the foot is the rubber arch grip. It delivers additional technical performance to the shoe. The specific shape of its ‘teeth’ ensures better grip on slippery ridges and raised edges, as well as via ferrata rungs and ladders.
The midsole is specifically designed with two different densities. At the heel, it uses a softer EVA compound – to provide greater cushioning and ground adaptability. This guarantees optimal comfort when walking.
The Sulfur upper is built and shaped around a specific anatomical last that delivers a precise, wrapping fit. As a result, the shoe fits like a glove around the foot. Its excellent forefoot and heel retention provide solid support for high performance in even the most technical terrain.
The Vibram® Megagrip™ outsole offers unparalleled grip on both dry and wet surfaces. This compound is best-in-class for durability and ground adaptation. The multi-directional lug pattern is ready to take on different terrains and changing conditions.
At the toe, the Sulfur outsole has a flat climbing zone. This dedicated climbing-specific feature gives advanced precision, toe and edging power on slabs, ledges and edges, making it the perfect choice for steeper walls.
At the toes and lateral and medial side of the foot, a lightweight rubber rand provides additional protection and abrasion resistance from boulders, rocks and scree.
The Sulfur features a robust backloop that helps to pull on your shoes. It also enables quick and secure attachment at the back of your harness.
The last, midsole toe rocker and unique rounded toe shape have been carefully designed to enhance the Sulfur’s responsiveness, grip and fast acceleration and transition in technical terrains.
