It is various technologies that complete the quality and functionality of Kayland footwear . In the development of its footwear, the brand cooperates with various world-famous partners, but also develops its own technologies and procedures to make Kayland footwear exceptional compared to others.

Kayland technological cooperation

Among the partner technologies that contribute to the quality and excellent technical performance of Kayland shoes are manufacturers of soles, waterproof membranes or thermal insulation technology such as:

• Vibram – high grip sole with a pattern adapted to any terrain (for example: Vibram Mulaz Evo, Vibram Fourá Evo, Vibram New Makalu, Vibram Tork, Vibram Gravity, Vibram Winkler Evo, Vibram Multiverse...)

• Gore-Tex – highly durable, breathable, waterproof and windproof membrane ( Gore-Tex Insulated Comfort Footwear, Gore-Tex Performance Comfort Footwear, Gore-Tex Extended Comfort Footwear, Gore-Tex Invisible Fit Footwear)

• Primaloft - the best insulation in its class suitable for all conditions

• Cassin - a collaboration with a climbing expert in the production of climbing cats

• Wintherm – innovative technology of active thermal insulation

Kayland proprietary technologies

Subsequently, the brand also has its own patented technologies, thanks to which it stands out from the competition and creates unique hiking boots .

Ankle Lock System (ALS) – it's an exclusive Kayland system that allows accurate and safe closure of the ankle and at the same time guarantees the possibility of natural movement.

Diamond technology - the protective full rand is made of a polyurethane component and provides the shoes with increased resistance to abrasion. The entire protective belt is made of a polyurethane mixture, which provides increased resistance against shoe abrasion.

Asymmetrical Multiproof Zip Closure - closes easily, prevents water from entering the shoe and fits the foot and ankle in the most ergonomic way.

Extended Lacing System - a combination of asymmetric fastening of the laces and their position as far as possible in the area of the toes. Such technology provides a very precise feel, as the shoes can also be tightly closed in the toe area. Asymmetric positioning allows the foot to bend and its natural position.

Smart PU BI-Density Midsole - provides excellent cushioning while maintaining a very good level of support and protection.

Integra - rubber sole specially designed for outdoor activities. The technical side, the choice of materials and the sense of detail are the three key stones in the realization of this basic component of outdoor footwear. The first is the PRIME model, where excellent lug patterns suitable for a specific type of terrain together with the Plus-T compound create better grip on both dry and wet rock, while aggressive tread blocks offer better traction on mud and softer terrain.
