UHLSport Torkralle SC Football Boot

The TORKRALLE is made out of ecologically tanned leat her from the Allgäu region. The immediate advantage? It is wonderfully soft, breathable and easy on the skin, yet tough and durable - it satisfies the most stringent demands of the game of football. The other advantage? Your contribution to sustainability. The main tanning solution is a mix of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and plant extracts such as tara, Mediterranean oak, and rhubarb. About 80 to 85% of the tanning substances are bound to the fibres. The rest flows off with the grey water to the water treatment plant for ordinary processing that's easy on the environment. And then there's the sole. We thought long and hard about this and then we turned our thoughts into action. First of all, function: We took our classic sole variants and enhanced them with new grip elements that are configured like claws. Because during the normal course of play the lateral forces on a goalkeeper's meet often exceed his total body weight causing increased slip risk - and those are never the moments where a little slip would be OK - a little slip could cost your team the match. But that still wasn't enough. We also chose to go with a pure clear sole. How come? Because on top of optimal functionality it also sends a message: something is different here. It might get people to look closer and realize that it is made from partially recycled material. For the best interplay of function Additionally, we have integrated an EVA-wedge into the heel section, which is thereby raised by an additional 4 mm, resulting in slight shifting of the posture to the front and pre-tensioning of the calf muscles. This improves the ability to jump and react quickly. How? The shoes cause you to stand in the typical goalkeeper position from the outset. The result? An improved sensation of confidence, and perhaps even the last missing percentage points that decide if you get to the ball. For the best interplay of function and future.
