ALFA's focus has always been on quality and functionality. In order to maintain the properties of the shoes, good maintenance is important. Learn how to take the best care of your shoes:
Shoe maintenance - Full-grain leather shoesFunctions
Stable construction: Rottefella XPLORE System
Rottefella XPLORE™ System is a binding system with Springpin™ Technology integrated in the front of the shoe. The XPLORE™ System provides better stability and mobility for safe and comfortable exploration off-track.
Insulated for cold days: GORE-TEX Insulated
Used in winter models for added insulation in low temperatures. Water and snow are blocked out while the sweat easily evaporates from the inside of the boot. The insulating lining protects against low temperatures and provides a dry, warm and comfortable climate for your feet. The membrane is 100% waterproof, durable and has good breathability with insulating properties for use in cold weather conditions.
Molds to the foot: Memoryfoam Ankle Comfort Collar
Memory foam is inserted into the construction around the ankle section to provide extra good fit. Using body heat, the material is shaped so that the shoe sits comfortably around the ankle.
