AIRTECH EVO GORE-TEX® is the TCX® Touring Line boot that affords superior watertightness combined with unique breathability. This level of performance is due to the boot s construction: in particular to the use of the GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort Footwear membrane which, combined with the CORDURA® upper, ensures total watertightness while affording greater breathability. In the 2016 collection, the AIRTECH EVO GORE-TEX® has been entirely restyled in its appearance & enhanced in its technical features. In terms of aesthetic styling, it has a new shape with a tapered design, which is wider in the metatarsal area & with a thinner toe. A microinjection system on the upper lends the boot a specific structural design, while enhancing its high-tech appearance. This design makes the AIRTECH EVO GORE-TEX® a versatile product, which can be worn with both high-tech tourism clothing & even urban attire. From a functional perspective, a series of construction details have been introduced to enhance the comfort level of the fit, including: a new inner padding featuring a memory system around the ankle, an anatomical & removable “shock absorber” footbed & a touring sole with specific grip areas. The height of the upper has been reduced compared to the previous version to accommodate the latest new trends in high-tech footwear for medium-range touring use. The highly advanced comfort of the model is completed with a padded front joint. The excellent breathability of the membrane/upper system is combined with a high level of protection. For increased foot safety, the boot incorporates shinbone protection with raised logo, reinforced toe & heel, gear change cushion made from microinjected material incorporated into the sole. The boot is CE Certified according to current EN 13634:2010 regulations.
