The rubber surrounds the arch of the foot and supports it in the optimum position for strength and precision. - In most rock boots, the heel is tensioned with a basic single band of rubber, which simply pulls and compresses the heel cup. Boreal have developed a more thorough tensioning system with the Wrap Rand. - A much wider area of the shoe is tensioned, with the strap running all the way under the foot and around the heel. This provides a stable, secure platform for the foot without compromising sensitivity or freedom of movement.
