Vasque Aether Tech SS Trail Running Shoes - Women's

Outside Buyer's Guide, Summer '08 says, ''light enough for fire-road tempo runs or extended climbs, the Aether Tech doesn't skimp on protection.''. The Vasque Aether Tech SS soft-shell shoes are designed for fast-paced trail runners wanting a fast and light yet protective shoe. Low-stretch nylon soft-shell uppers feature synthetic nubuck and welded thermoplastic urethane (TPU) overlays for structure and pronation stability. Boa Closure System® uses a continuous cable lacing system to eliminate pressure points and offer a glovelike fit. With a simple crank of the tongue-mounted knob, you can quickly and evenly lace and unlace; system will not loosen and never needs retying. Nylon linings wick moisture away from your feet and dry quickly to keep feet comfortable. Removable dual-density EVA footbeds offer cushioning. Single-density EVA midsoles have high rebound EVA inserts in heels and forefeet for enhanced cushioning. Midsoles house textile forefoot plates for protection from stone bruising. Rigid TPU arch shanks support the feet and deliver dependable stability on uneven terrain. Vasque Aether trail-running outsoles supply the traction you need on rugged trails. Reflective detailing increases your visibility in low light.
