SENSIFIT The lacing system is the popular solution known from other Salomon running shoes styles – the Quicklace. Standard laces have been replaced with a Kevlar cord with a drawstring, which helps in fitting the shoes more properly. The unnecessary part of the line is hidden in a pocket on the tongue. Quicklace is an asymmetrical solution – the right and the left shoe differ from one another, just like the right and left foot. The system is also faster and more conven- ient than standard laces, as well as it eliminates the main problem: the laces won't get loose. The laces system is connected with an integral element of the upper – a solution called Sensifit, which is noticeable at first glance in form of aslope zigzag pattern on the side of the shoe. They do not only serve as a deco- rative element – when the user ties laces (the word "tightens" would be more accurate), Sensfit makes the shoe fit to feet on each side and good adherence for the whole time. The line used for tying goes through six pairs of clips made of nylon strap. The lace system, without holes and hooks, is 100% safe for parachute jumping and activities with using ropes. SOLE The sole is not a single layer of rubber, but a sophis- ticated 3D Chassis design – a special platform con- sisting from three elements and that is placed in the sole of the boot to protect against uneven surface thanks to layers of EVA foam. Moreover, that system guarantees necessary grip for walking and balanced movement. When absorbing shock, it secures the an- kle near the heel part and protects it against getting twisted. Shock absorbers have been made from a firm nylon, with texture resembling carbon fiber cov- ered with resin. T h e www.fragoutmag.com
