Tecnica Sulfur GTX WS

The Sulfur GTX WS from Tecnica is the ideal companion for women who don't want to make any compromises when hiking or climbing. This technical approach shoe combines the precision of a climbing shoe with the comfort of a hiking shoe and sets new standards in its category. Thanks to the integrated ARCH GRIP technology, the shoe offers excellent grip on slippery and uneven surfaces, while the CLIMBING ZONE at the tip of the outsole provides additional precision when climbing.
Made from high-quality Gore-Tex® material, the Sulfur GTX WS guarantees durable waterproof protection and excellent breathability to keep your feet dry and comfortable in any weather. The anatomically shaped Ortholite® footbed provides superior comfort and supports the natural shape of the foot, while the VIBRAM® MEGAGRIP™ outsole offers unparalleled grip on wet and dry surfaces.
The BACKLOOP loop makes putting on and taking off the shoes child's play, and you can easily attach the shoes to your rucksack or climbing harness. Developed in collaboration with mountain guides and part of the Vibram"Repair If You Care" project, these shoes are not only high-performance but also sustainable, as they can be resoled.

Features:

ARCH GRIP: In the middle of the outsole, under the arch of the foot, is the rubber arch grip. It gives the shoe additional technical performance. The special shape of its "teeth" ensures better grip on slippery edges and raised edges as well as on via ferrata rungs and ladders.
CLIMBING ZONE: The outsole has a flat climbing zone at the toe. This special climbing feature ensures increased precision as well as toe and edge strength on slabs, ledges and edges, making them the perfect choice for steeper rock faces.
BACKLOOP: The small loop makes it easier to put on and take off the shoes and also allows them to be attached to a rucksack or climbing harness.
ORTHOLITE® FOOTBED: The anatomically shaped Ortholite® footbed is highly breathable and offers superior comfort and long-lasting performance.
GORE-TEX® EXTENDED COMFORT LINING: The Gore-Tex® Extended Comfort membrane offers durable waterproof and breathable weather protection and ensures that your feet stay dry and comfortable all day and all year round.
VIBRAM® MEGAGRIP™ OUTSOLE: The Vibram® Megagrip sole is made from a compound that offers unparalleled grip on dry and wet surfaces. This compound is also the best in its class in terms of durability and ground adaptation.

Technologies and manufacturing processes

CLIMBING PRECISION
By combining adaptive memory foams with pre-molded thermoplastic inserts and an Ortholite footbed, the AST - Adaptive Shape Technology - adapts the Sulfur precisely to any foot shape. The Sulfur is built around an anatomical last and is equipped with Edge Frame technology and a Vibram®Megagrip™ outsole with climbing zone, which significantly improves climbing performance.
CLIMBING PERFORMANCE MEETS HIKING WALKABILITY
The Edge Frame plate placed above the midsole provides rigidity and support when climbing, while still allowing the shoe to flex freely when walking. The result: Climbing performance meets hiking walking function. The longitudinal elements promote stiffness and torsional stability in the toe and midfoot area. The crossed cut-out arrangements allow more flexibility in the midfoot area.
HIKING COMFORT
The midsole consists of two different densities. The softer EVA component at the heel provides cushioning and ground adaptation to ensure optimal walking comfort. The midsole and outsole are equipped with a forward-facing sole profile to enable a smoother transition from the heel to the toes and thus longer walking with greater comfort.
