Why?

We believe that products must adapt to people. Each person is different. We design products that adapt to fit every type of foot shape.

How

We combine ultimate comfort and uncompromised performance

Ast

Adaptive shape technology

At Tecnica, we have always made shoe fit a top priority. To design and produce footwear with a unique anatomical shape that delivers a superior comfort fit, with great heel and forefoot retention, we developed AST – Adaptive Shape Technology.

Advanced Shape Technology is based on three pillars. Using anatomical lasts to match the ergonomic and biometric needs of mountaineers. Fine-tuning the perfect width for each mountain activity. Offering specific-gender dedicated designs and technical features.

This unique technology also benefits from innovations such as adaptive memory foams, pre-shaped thermoplastic inserts, cushioning and breathable foams, and copolymer foam inserts to maintain our promise of comfort and performance.

Fit Fundamentals

1

Anatomical last

Tecnica's shoe design process starts from a realistic anatomical last rather than the simplified traditional one commonly used by the footwear industry.
