The MFF+ allows you to customise the inside volume of the boots, thanks to the two separate, interchangeable layers. An Edging plate also resides in the midsole below the side of the foot and big toe for additional, directional stiffness.

Pomoca Speed MTN Pro Outsole

Designed to provide traction and grip on uneven terrain, the Wildfire Edge have been constructed using a POMOCA outsole. Developed for extremely slippery terrain, the durable rubber can form a solid bond with the ground to anchor you in place. Despite facing abuse from rough ground, the rubber stands up against this, deflecting the blows and retaining a strong shape and structure. This will mean that the definition and functionality of the outsole will remain strong over a long period of time. The outsole has a climbing zone at the toe which ensures good edging performance. Its POMOCA Butylic compound rubber provides a better grip on rock in both dry and wet conditions, while the aggressive tread lugs offer improved traction on mud and softer terrain. Not only this, but the S-path technology of the outsole encourages a more natural roll-off.
