The Agate has been designed around a gender-specific anatomical last to carefully match the more triangular shape, lower volume and narrower heel bone of women's feet. In addition, the underfoot has been fine-tuned to provide support to women's higher foot arch. The comfortable anatomical design has been approved by focus groups with the W2W initiative and scientifically validated by CeRiSM.
The Pebax® foam plate of the Impulso technology sits in a balanced EVA midsole geometry, providing a lightweight, durable platform that supports the foot during intense fast hiking, keeping the shoe’s lateral stability when moving fast downhill or on uneven terrain. In addition, the V-Shaped ESS insert plate at the midfoot delivers torsional support and helps to prevent ankle injuries.
The midsole unit features Tecnica's exclusive Impulso technology that combines the benefits of a high-rebound EVA and a fulllength Pebax® foam plate, delivering superior cushioning, explosive energy return and long-lasting elasticity. In addition, the exclusive Flex Groove design of the outsole provides targeted flex points, enhancing flexibility and improving forward motion.
