Tecnica Sulfur Mid GTX WS

The Sulfur Mid GTX WS from Tecnica is the ideal companion for adventurous women who don't want to compromise on both hiking and climbing. This innovative approach shoe combines the precision of a climbing shoe with the comfort of a hiking shoe, offering the perfect balance for all-day activities in challenging terrain. Tecnica's exclusive AST technology ensures a precise fit, while the combination of Ortholite® footbed, Gore-Tex® membrane and Vibram® sole offers maximum comfort and protection.
Thanks to the Gore-Tex® Extended Comfort membrane, your feet stay dry and comfortable all day long, regardless of the weather conditions. The Vibram® Megagrip™ sole guarantees optimum grip on wet and dry surfaces, while the special Climbing Zone at the tip of the sole ensures increased precision and power, especially on steep rock faces. The Arch Grip in the middle of the outsole provides additional grip on slippery edges and via ferrata rungs.
The Sulfur Mid GTX WS not only impresses with its technical properties, but also with practical details such as the backloop, which makes it easier to put on and take off the shoe and attach it to a rucksack. The shoe can also be resoled as part of the Vibram"Repair If You Care" project, which underlines its durability and sustainability. This shoe is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a high-performance and versatile approach shoe.

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.

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.
