Tecnica Sulfur Mid GTX MS

The Sulfur Mid GTX MS from Tecnica is the ideal companion for men who don't want to compromise on both hiking and climbing. This innovative approach shoe combines professional climbing precision with the comfort of a hiking boot, perfect for long days in nature. Thanks to Tecnica's exclusive AST technology, it offers a precise fit that has been developed in collaboration with mountain guides to master even the most demanding outdoor activities.
The use of Gore-Tex® ensures a durable waterproof and breathable membrane that keeps your feet dry and comfortable in any weather. The Vibram® Megagrip™ outsole offers exceptional grip on wet and dry surfaces, while the Climbing Zone at the tip of the sole provides increased precision and edge power - ideal for steep rock faces and challenging climbing passages.
Other technical features such as the Arch Grip in the middle of the outsole give the shoe additional grip on slippery edges and ladders. The anatomically shaped Ortholite® footbed offers outstanding comfort and long-lasting performance. The practical Backloop loop makes it easier to put on and take off the shoes and allows them to be attached to a rucksack or climbing harness.
Last but not least, the Sulfur Mid GTX MS can be resoled thanks to the Vibram"Repair If You Care" project, which not only extends the life of the shoe, but also takes environmentally friendly aspects into account.

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.
