Highlights & Technologies:

TERRACARE:
This leather is produced in the leather factory Josef Heinen GmbH & Co. KG in Germany. The leather fulfils high standards in terms of performance and durability. In addition, a large proportion of the tannery’s waste products are recycled and the origin of the raw materials is 100% transparent.

ORTHOLITE ECO PLUSH:
These insoles are made of open-pore polyurethane foam. They are very breathable, durable and prevent the formation of fungi, bacteria and odours. The ECO PLUSH version contains 25 % castor oil (the ecological alternative to petroleum-based products). The upper material of the sole consists of 50 % recycled polyester. The soles used for these cycling shoes come with hardened PU foam in the cleat area for optimal power transfer. ORTHOLITE insoles are machine-washable. For their ECO soles, ORTHOLITE replaces petroleum-based polyurethane with polyurethane obtained from castor oil. This offers great advantages with regards to energy and resource consumption. Castor oil is a very rapidly renewable raw material. The oil extracted from it is non-toxic.

VAUDE TVL SOHLE:
This sole consists of 20% recycled rubber. The asymmetric arrangement of the tread blocks offers excellent grip in the dry and wet. Stiffeners in two hardness levels allow for good power transfer to the pedal and comfortable walking. The cleat cover is removable so that you can ride with or without cleats.

FLOW INDEX 5:
Different activities and terrains place different requirement on the sole in terms of its strength. V-Flow combines the shoes’ cuff materials, fit and stability and provides an overview based on the V-Flow index to help you find out your personal preferences regarding intended use and comfort. The FLOW INDEX 5 offers comfort and flexibility for cycling and walking. Perfect for daily commutes to work, leisure tours and cycling journeys.

SUPTRACTION R20:
High-grip rubber compound made of 20% recycled rubber for a modern tread that offers high traction on dry and wet conditions.

PVC FREE:
This VAUDE seal means that this product is made entirely without PVC (polyvinylchloride). Looks like tarpaulin and is just as durable and waterproof, yet consists of polyurethane coated textile fabric instead of PVC. PVC often contains plasticizers (phthalates) that are suspected of having negative health impacts.

Note:
For the best fit, ROSE recommends ordering the shoes one size up.
