Although we're in the depths of Winter, Bavarian-bootmaker Hanwag has its sights set on next Spring when it will unveil its exciting, new TubeTec Rock technology. The TubeTec soles were originally introduced for SS18 in Hanwag's walking and travel shoe category but for 2019, the innovative design has been further upgraded with the launch of TubeTec Rock which will easily handle the demands of more technical terrain.

Since it was founded almost a century ago in 1921, Hanwag has focused on finding ways to combine maximum performance on rock and ice with the best possible walking comfort. This new innovation is set to revolutionise underfoot comfort in Hanwag's high-performance rock boots and combines a durable TPU outer 'tube' with a soft, polyurethane centre that offers ultimate cushioning.

Easily able to stand up to rock, scree and ice, the TubeTec Rock's TPU surround features internal reinforcement ribs for increased tread stability, precision and performance. The dedicated rock sole also benefits from a reinforced climbing zone that offers perfect edging stability at the big toe. As well as protecting the soft inner from becoming damaged by the terrain, the sole's outer 'tube' also helps the PU retain its bounce and shock absorbency for long-lasting comfort.

The TubeTec Rock sole is completed by an aggressive Vibram® Integral Light tread which offers reliable grip and traction in rocky conditions. Exclusive to Hanwag, the Integral Light sole features a PrismBase design that reduces weight without compromising on performance.

The new TubeTec Rock sole will be introduced on the exciting Ferrata II boots in February/March 2019.
