What is GripWalk technology?
GripWalk is a ski boot standard designed to improve walking comfort without compromising safety or performance.
Unlike traditional alpine soles, GripWalk soles feature rubber lugs and a slightly curved profile. This design offers better grip on slippery surfaces and allows for a more natural stride when walking in the resort.
The result: fewer slips, more stability, and greater comfort between runs.
The advantages of GripWalk ski boots
Choosing GripWalk shoes, means enjoying many benefits throughout your stay:
better grip on snow, ice, and hard ground
a more natural and less tiring walk;
better comfort when moving around the resort
effective thermal insulation to keep feet warm
identical performance on the slopes thanks to excellent power transmission.
Whether you are an occasional skier or a passionate one, GripWalk enhances your experience before, during, and after your descents.
Why is compatibility with bindings essential?
GripWalk boots must be used with compatible bindings.
These bindings are specially designed to adapt to the specific shape of GripWalk soles and ensure correct release in the event of a fall. This compatibility is essential to preserve your safety and ensure the proper functioning of your equipment.
Before any use, it is therefore important to check that your bindings accept this standard.
How to know if your skis are GripWalk compatible?
The check is simple.
Start by observing your bindings: if they are compatible, the mention 'GripWalk' is generally visible on the toe piece or on the heel piece.
In case of doubt, consult the manufacturer's instructions or the characteristics of your equipment.
If you cannot find the information, the Sport 2000 teams are at your disposal to inform you. Simply bring the brand, model and year of your skis and bindings to facilitate verification.
