 So what is GripWalk? GripWalk is a recent development that's trying to bring the consumer all the benefits of the rubber sole of a touring boot So the comfort convenience, the grip and the safety when walking around with the performance of an alpine boot. So you've got the hard platform which gives you a great downhill performance What we have is the Rockered rubber sole as you traditionally finding a touring boot with the hard platform you find on an alpine And it's a really good hybrid mix of the both Many many of the bindings you'll find on the market now are already GripWalk certified and Most boot manufacturers are moving to make their boots compatible with the GripWalk soles In fact, you might actually find your boots already GripWalk compatible. All you have to do is replace the toe in the heel There's numerous features about the GripWalk setup that are beneficial for both alpine skiers and touring skiers as well If you have a GripWalk sole on your touring boot, it gives you a safer setup for the downhill And if you have a GripWalk sole on your alpine boot, it gives you a boot that's easier to walk in much more natural walking motion The other big advantage of this, if you have a GripWalk boot or an alpine boot You can just step into a GripWalk binding with no adjustment necessary If you want to know which products are compatible with GripWalk They will either have the GripWalk logo on them or speak to someone at Ellis Brigham
