K SOLE

Anti-perforation insole made of several layers of special fabric. The use of these materials guarantees high resistance, as well as lightness and flexibility. This insole has the advantage of covering the entire surface of the insole, ensuring absolute protection of the foot. K SOLE is a metal-free insole.

Alu Layer

The light, strong and slim aluminum alloy toe provides maximum security with minimal space requirements.

Ergonomic Support

The external heel protection made of TPU guarantees stability, protection and comfort.

TPU toe protection

toe cap made of highly abrasion-resistant thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Increases the lifespan of the shoe by protecting the toe cap from direct stress.

Stable Impact System

From the Diadora research laboratories, STABLE IMPACT SYSTEM, CUSHIONING technology, which allows for maximum cushioning and comfort performance regardless of the force applied. The Stable Impact System is a cushioning system that results from the use of certain forms in the sole design. The purpose of the cushioning is to absorb the impact energy with the ground and to reduce the peak of the restoring force on the user's musculoskeletal system. The energy returned thanks to this technology does not depend on the weight of the wearer, which shows that this system optimally combines cushioning, responsiveness and comfort. Thanks to the cushioning-reactivity combination, regardless of the shoe size and regardless of the user's weight. Thanks to the stable and even cushioning, the comfort and stability of the shoe are perceived the same by all wearers.

Quick Release System

quick lacing system with micrometric adjustment rotor and steel cable, Diadora personalization.

Sliding Lacing System

A lacing system with sliding laces that allows even lacing and encloses the foot without pressure points.
