Icebug Pace3 W BUGrip GTX Studded Winter Boots Black / DarkHibiscus 2023
IceBug focuses on making shoes with incredible grip on all terrains to motivate people to move and do sports outdoors even when the conditions are wet, slippery and inhospitable by developing a number of unique materials, using studs and even Michelin tires. The Swedish manufacturer is an initiator and participant in numerous programs and initiatives for sustainable development and reducing the carbon footprint that large-scale production leaves on nature. Every material and manufacturing process that IceBug uses aims to use the minimum amount of chemicals, petroleum fuels, water and energy. Since example is the first and most important thing in a large-scale battle like this, they formed the Follow the Footprints program, which provides complete transparency about the production process of each pair. Just scan the QR code on the label of your new shoes and you'll get a full report in numbers on how environmentally friendly they are, as well as a detailed list of the countries they've traveled to get to you.
The Icebug Pace3 BuGrip GTX is a very stable and relaible hiking shoe for winter conditions on any terrain. The high profile effectively protects the ankle and the unique studded BuGrip outsole significantly reduces the risk of slipping.
Icebug's Pace is the perfect boot for those looking for walking comfort, insulation and mid cut stability. The upper material is a Ripstop textile that is very easy to maintain. The mudguard has been slightly updated. The 100% waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex Insulated Comfort membrane ensures that the feet stay dry, warm and comfortable.
The BUGrip outsole has 16 dynamic studs that provide reliable traction on all winter surfaces. The BUGrip sole is made of a special rubber compound. The design of the studs, together with the properties of the rubber compound, give these studs a dynamic function. The studs work independently from each other and are not completely fixed. When weight is applied the studs push in toward the surface of the sole. How far they are pushed in depends on the pressure exerted by the user and the resistance from the ground. This dynamic function makes the studs adapt to the surface and provide the best possible traction on anything from dry asphalt to pure ice.
The design of the Pace3 BuGrip GTX from IceBug has a clean and sporty look which goes perfectly well with the ambition of the shoe: to provide traction, shelter and warmth for those who wants to keep on being active all year long.
