The Futura model belongs to the innovative “No-Edge” generation. The No-edge concept eliminates the traditional “edges” of the sole.
This allows the foot to come into closer contact with the rock surface, thus enhancing foot sensitivity and allowing a greater, homogenous push on the hold. With the No-Edge construction climbing becomes more fluid, instinctive and harmonious. This construction method generates from the Speedster model and is suitable even for less experienced climbers as it represents a less extreme version of the latter model. The Fast Lacing System is quick, precise and easy to pull on. Futura: the “No-edge” climbing shoe.

REACH THE OUTER LIMITS OF GRIP WITH XSGRIP AND XSEDGE
The history of Vibram is deeply linked to freeclimbing, the sport that demands the extremes of grip.
- 1987: Vibram GRIP was launched - a very sticky compound that was quickly adopted by many of the top freeclimbing shoe brands.
- 2006: Vibram launched XSGrip; significantly stickier than other compounds.
- 2009 is the year of XSGrip2 e XS Edge, the new exclusive Vibram formulas developed to meet the demands of increased specialization in the sport of climbing.
Whether bouldering, difficulty, indoor, or outdoor - with Vibram, new vertical borders are open.
NO-EDGE CONCEPTFrom an indepth study of foot morphology and the way in which the foot is used during the various phases of rock climbing, on holds of different shapes and sizes, La Sportiva has devised the revolutionary “No-edge” concept: a construction method that allows for the elimination of “edges” on the sole of the shoe thus guaranteeing a more fluid, precise and harmonious climb. The No-edge concept stems from three core concepts: sensitivity, homogenous pressure and adaptability.
