Auxtech

• Auxetic Shape Technology is the result of years of refining and rethinking how binding parts work and how Rome can improve their grip and durability.
• Auxetic patterns are geometric patterns that become thicker perpendicularly when stretched.
• Think of them as a network of tiny hinges that when pressure is applied, they actually expand and open.
• This creates a more direct connection to the boot.
• Better surface area pressure distribution with an ergonomic shape means a better connection overall.
• The one-piece, one-material design also means increased durability no matter the conditions.
• Better grip, increased durability and better- connected comfort, that’s AuxTech®.
