Impact and vibration are absorbed at point during jumps, reducing knee and ankle fatigue and decreasing stress on leg muscles and tendons. The integrated hardened steel pins ensure maximum security of the boot. The sole is supported by a double arch balance system that distributes weight evenly across the base of the stirrup frame.
