The Terrein Ascent hiking shoe combines natural freedom of motion with effective joint protection via a mini piston, called an “adapter,” which guards against twisting forces acting on the ankle. The protection system engages 3 times faster than human anatomy can, blocking further motion, and allowing the wearer to regain level footing. This is made possible by an intelligent fluid system that stiffens within a few milliseconds if critical movements are made too quickly and then immediately returns to its flexible initial state. The shoe’s sock construction allows freedom of movement, while the Velcro closure provides a custom fit. The adapter is encapsulated in abrasion-resistant fabric for durability, increased comfort, and breathability. Rounded corners and edges provide for smooth foot placement, the wide platform improves traction, and the extra-grippy rubber compound outsole offers maximum control during ascents and descents
