The Pebax® foam plate of the Impulso technology sits in an oversized EVA midsole geometry, providing a lightweight, durable platform that cradles the foot. This construction increases the shoe’s lateral stability when moving fast downhill or on uneven terrain. In addition, the midfoot Support Band acts as a supportive link between upper and midsole, enhancing stability and power transfer.
The Spark has been designed around an activity-specific anatomical last to match the ergonomic and biometric needs of fast hikers. The shoe fits like a glove around the foot, and its excellent forefoot and heel retention provides solid support for high performance in the most technical terrain. In addition, the comfortable and breathable ORTHOLITE® footbed keeps the foot cooler and drier.
The midsole unit features Tecnica's exclusive Impulso technology that combines the benefits of a high-rebound EVA and a full-length Pebax® foam plate, delivering superior cushioning, explosive energy return and long-lasting elasticity. As a result, the Spark allows a comfortable and forgiving fast hiking experience on the most technical terrain.
UPPER TPU FILM: The upper is protected by layers of TPU film laminated to the polyamide mesh for additional durability at critical areas, such as the heel, toe cap, and medial and lateral zones.
EVA EXOSHELL CAGE: Foot and midsole protection from rocks and scree is provided by the durable external EVA Exoshell Cage.
BACKLOOP: The little loop helps the wearer to slide the foot in and out of the shoes effortlessly and can be used to hang them on your backpack or to the climbing harness.
ORTHOLITE® FOOTBED: The anatomically-shaped Ortholite® footbed is highly breathable and provides superior comfort and long-lasting performance.
GORE-TEX® EXTENDED COMFORT LINING: The Gore-Tex® Extended Comfort membrane delivers durable waterproof and breathable weather protection to ensure that your feet stay dry and comfortable all day long and all year round.
VIBRAM® MEGAGRIP™ OUTSOLE: The Vibram® Megagrip outsole is made of a high-performance compound that offers unparalleled grip on dry and wet terrain. This compound is also best in its class for durability and ground adaptation.
