Xterra Footwear

How it Works
Sync in with our SYMBIONICS WILDTred technology. Engage with the grace and agility of a big-game predator. Independent touch pads for wrap-around grip, lugged claws for traction, and the convertible breeze of XHale a webbed nylon weave that allows your feet to catch their breath. Everything bred together to give you a running experience that till now, was only for those who ran on all fours.

The midsole is injected EVA, no cushioning is wasted by compressing the EVA into a mold, plus no material is wasted during manufacturing. The XR1.0 has a blown rubber outsole with a carbon rubber toe. Blown rubber is lighter. We use carbon rubber on the toe so the lugs can dig better on those gnarly, muddy trails. We've built in just enough protection with our forefoot rock plate and an I-beam arch shank for support and ride stability.

What is WILDTred? Inspired by a big cats paw, WILDTred is our out-sole's solution to traction. When a big cat runs it uses it's paws for traction, claws only come into play as a last resort. Our out-sole works the same way, the entire blown rubber perimeter wraps around surfaces for traction, while the large indentations dig and bite allowing the perimeter to perform like separate pads. The center section of the outsole is concave with aggressive lugs, this provides two advantages. When running on a firm surface the center will compress increasing your stability, but when on an uneven surface, the center lugs can protrude to help grasp the trail.

What is XHale Mesh? This is our proprietary three layer upper construction. An External web frame offers optimal breathability and abrasion protection, The ultra suede core maximizes support in key areas, and an ultralight mesh liner for superb comfort and debris protection.
