EXTRAS
Auxtech - Hinged patterns for next level connected-comfort. A Rome first innovation, AuxTech® is a game changing pattern we use in our ankle and toe straps. Auxetic Patterns are geometric patterns that become thicker perpendicularly when stretched. Essentially a network of tiny hinges that expand evenly when pressure is applied. Best in the game surface area pressure distribution and connected comfort, that’s AuxTech®.
PivotMount - A Rome exclusive innovation, PivotMounts allow you to adjust the position of the ankle strap on your boot with 8 different locations per side of the strap. The higher the strap sits on your boot, the more locked-in and powerful the feel, the lower the strap sits on the boot, the more playful and surfier ride.
Forged Aluminum - Strength and durability, while staying lightweight and versatile, comes in the form of forged aluminum in the heelhoop.
Highback Rotation - Adjusting the highback’s angle to mirror the angle of your heelside edge allows for maximum power transfer.
Adjustable Baseplate - Created to streamline sizing adjustments for a better fit on a wider range of boot models and sizing.
Heel Pad - An EVA pad designed for impact absorption and comfort. Located below the Heel Pad, there is a pocketed pad, adding further impact absorption and comfort to the binding
