Etnies Shoes & Advanced Sole Technology Institute Features
|
Etnies Shoes are some of the most popular skate shoes around today, their slides, mules, flip flops
and sandals are also very popular. A lot of etnies enthusiasts aren't actually into skateboard sports, they
just like the logo, name, style, comfort, popularity and looks. However, don't let that fool you,
Etnies is still one of the most serious skateboard shoes makers around.
Etnies is a member the Sole Technology Institute (STI), an organization
dedicated to designing skateboard shoes that meet the needs of today's serious skater.
Skateboarding sports today have gotten more and more extreme and the
impact of the sport on
a skater's body can be rigorous. As a matter of fact, studies have found
the impact on the heel alone for big air skateboarders can
be as much as 18% of the skaters body weight and higher, that's around 2500 lbs. of force!
Consequently, The Sole Technology Institute is focused on
biomechanics research as it relates to skateboarding,
searching for new technologies that will help reduce the risk of injury without
compromising board feel, maneuverability or control. STI utilizes
a 10,000 sq. ft facility and the latest in state of the art testing equipment to
research, develop and test new technologies to improve performance while
reducing the risk of foot and ankle injury at the same time. The basics like handrails, stairs and ledges are
also used. New developments go through rigorous testing to determine
durability, flexibility, breath ability, traction and impact heel support, all of which need
to be within very specific ranges for maximum performance.
For instance, there can be such a thing
as too much traction, over traction can cause too much friction, which can disrupt timing,
a problem for serious skaters. For maximum performance,
STI studies focus on finding
the right range of measurement for each performance factor and then builds the shoe components
to meet the needs of those demands.
Dedicated to the best in skate shoes technology, STI also incorporates research
and test results from other independent and university research studies into their final findings
for the best in skateboarding shoe footwear and one of the most comprehensive knowledge bases in skate shoes research.
Sole Technologies has recently introduced the technological advanced System G2 which utilizes
gel in combination with other additional materials and air bags for maximum shock protection.
The System G2 technology is still new and is available only in a few limited styles.
However, if you're looking for a serious etnies shoe with advanced professional construction,
the Etnies Arto does feature this new high tech feature.
Named after innovative extreme skater Arto Saari, the Arto pro model skateboard shoe was designed by Saari
himself and it features the System G2 for the advanced shock absorption requirements of the serious skater.
The Tribune skate shoes from Etnies also features advanced Sole Technology Institute developments including the System G2,
as well as, action leather uppers, tongue padding, lightweight construction,
STI's Foam level 2 cushioning footed with heel support, and, STI's System Flo technology,
the perfect combination of mesh and foam for maximum comfort and breath ability.
Don't worry if your not a serious skater, there are actually lots of styles for just about
everyone in the family, kids, men, women, and even velcro fastened hook and loop for toddlers.
Popular Etnies styles include the callicut, classic, lo cut, cinch, kingpin, debut, floyd,
bastien, novice and others.
Etnies also makes some of the most popular beach slides, sandals and flip flops.
