FLEX-H AND DUAL HARDNESS TECHNOLOGIES: WHAT ARE THEY?
In order to provide you with optimum flexibility for sudden changes of direction and push-offs, mad dashes and between-the-lines passes, we use the following two technologies: The first, Flex-H, on the front of the outsole, allows the sole to bend following the shape of a horizontal "H". The second, Dual Hardness, combines TPU with different hardness properties, providing more flexibility or support depending on the targeted zone.
WANT TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO WEAR A VIRALTO I FOOTBALL BOOT? LET'S TAKE A TOUR.
These football boots are the result of a multitude of choices all made with the same goal: to make this football boot the most comfortable in its price range!
Upper made of soft PU on the forefoot, mesh fabric lining on the heel, preformed insole, wide tongue attached at the base that does not twist and keeps the foot nice and snug in place during play. A pronounced contour and raised back of the heel help support your foot and keep it nicely in place.
"OPTIMAL STRIKE ZONE": WHAT IS IT FOR?
We enlarged the main surface area that makes contact with the ball by placing the laces in an asymmetric line. The axis along which the laces are placed was shifted to the outside by 10 degrees to provide you with a larger sweet spot for controlling, passing and striking the ball. There's nothing to hold you back from showing off your best moves! Say goodbye to missed dribbles, close-but-not-quite passes, and strikes that land in the stands. Your coach and team members will be delighted!
"SAFE CARE": FOOTBALL BOOTS THAT PUT YOUR FEET FIRST: DO THEY EVEN EXIST?
We designed these football boots together with a podiatrist specializing in sports and professional football. Together, we designed and validated the various technologies and concepts used in these football boots. For example, when creating the outsole, the number of studs, their rounded shape, and their locations on the boot, were specifically researched and designed to ensure the best balance of grip and comfort.
WHAT'S VIRALTO?
Viralto brings together 4 models of football boots, designed around the themes of comfort and flexibility. Two models are in leather, and two made of synthetic materials. Each model has its own set of advantages depending on your expectations, requirements, and budget. The models are available with an FG, MG/AG, SG or Turf outsole. So no more excuses on the pitch for not controlling the ball and squashing the opposition!
