Hiking boots are meant for walking, and that's just what they'll do, but the Tecnica Forge hiking boots ensure that those long walks are as comfortable as possible. The new boots use heat molding technology to provide personalized fits for every wearer, eliminating the risk of blisters and hot spots.
Everyone's feet are different, and yet the majority of hiking boots on the market come in a single style. While sizing certainly helps, broad support designs are commonplace, and different arch heights, ankle widths, and heel supports can have drastically different effects on wearers. The Tecnica Forge shoes can be adjusted according to all three of these factors, which translates to the most comfortable and durable fit possible.
The fitting process for Tecnica Forges can be completed at retailers in as little as 20 minutes.
