Womens Boreal Climbing Shoes: A great pair of shoes! Our all new improved version of the Futura is a waterproof multi-purpose trail walking shoe with unprecedented levels of comfort and breathability. This high performance is made possible with the revolutionary construction techniques and unique advanced materials used. The upper of Futura is made from a unique high-tech three layer laminate material with a Sympatex waterproof breathable membrane and a hydrophobic mesh lining. An injected TPU lattice provides great protection to the upper with minimum weight and an injected rubber toe cap adds useful protection. The very low number of seams and soft nylon tape lace loops gives Futura an outstanding sock like fit, and the breathability of the upper to moisture vapor far exceeds the performance of traditional waterproof designs. The midsole has a soft polyamide monofilament top-layer surface which not only adds extra underfoot cushioning but also improves the transport of moisture away from the underside of the foot. The lightweight Vibram Borealis sole unit combines superb shock absorption with an aggressive tread pattern for great traction on both hard and soft surfaces and features an integrated injection molded piece in TPU which improves torsional stability. A new innovative combination of high-tech upper material, lining and membrane as light-weight solution for100% waterproofness and dynamic breathability. Rubber toecap for protection. The compound of an extra hydrophobic lining with H2O-finishing and the high-performance Sympatex membrane achieves a fast and effective transport of sweat outwards away from the foot towards the upper material.
