Kayland Tuscia 2.0 GTX Maximum comfort

In addition to the reduced stiffness of
the boot, comfort is further improved
thanks to the particular construction of
the upper part of the boot. The piece
that surrounds the ankle is made of
a soft abrasion-resistant material,
internally lined with a layer of leather.
On the outside, in correspondence
with the malleolus, a leather band has
been added to give greater rigidity to
the structure, offering support to the
ankle. Waterproofing is guaranteed by the
Goretex Performance Comfort membrane,
ideal for use with mild temperatures.

Vibram fourà evo
To ensure a perfect footing on any type of terrain, Kayland has chosen the
Vibram Fourà Evo outsole, characterized by wide groves for the outflow of
debris and an accentuated flex line on the forefoot that makes the boot more
flexible. The toecap is high and full, to protect the upper, while the heel’s
design improves braking. The insole is made of polypropylene and felt, while
the midsole is made of injected polyurethane. The insole is characterized by a
particular four-layer construction, with Eva coupled with felt, in turn softened
by foam and covered with a layer of fabric. To prevent blisters and to hold the foot
firmly, a red polymer insert has been added at the heel.
