Tecnica Forge – A Thermo-Moldable Hiking Boot
Tecnica Outdoor launched the Forge Collection of trekking boots that combine a precise anatomical fit right out-of-the box with effective heat-moldable customization capabilities in February 2018 to specialty retailers across the country. The collection features a technology new to footwear, Custom Adaptive Shape or C.A.S., that offers a fully heat moldable customization process resulting in a personalized fit in 20 minutes. The C.A.S. technology was first used in Tecnica’s alpine ski boots.
