THE INTELLIGENT MEMBRANE
MEMBRAIN 115
Waterproof and breathable at the same time. UYN’s exclusive intelligent membrane sets completely new standards in terms of weather protection, elasticity and wearing comfort. Unlike traditional membranes, Membrain115 does not limit the elasticity of the fabric to which it is paired, allowing it to be flexible and comfortable.
URBAN TRAIL SOLE
The sole design is inspired by the hoof of the ibex, the best climber in nature. Even the smallest ledge is enough for a ibex to find a secure footing. The secret behind it is their hooves: the outer edge of the hoof is made of hard horn. This gives the animal a secure grip. Inside the hoof are soft fat pads that absorb the pressure and release it. Likewise, the outer layer of the Urban Trail sole is made of harder rubber to ensure optimal traction and a secure hold. The inner part is made of softer rubber. This offers optimal grip on wet surfaces and at the same time it absorbs impact forces.
TWO-PIECE FOREFOOT
Based on the hoof shape of even-toed ungulates, the front part of the sole is divided into two. This gives the foot more flexibility for optimal power transmissionCLOSED HOOF HEEL
The greatest pressure forces occur at the heel. For this reason, the heel part of the sole is based on a horse‘s hoof. This distributes the pressure evenly around the heel bone
