Grippy footwear

Latest offerings from Musto come with a new tacky sole

Musto have sourced a new material for the outsole of their latest deck shoe range.

Designated GripDeck 2, Musto’s new outsole has an extremely low softness modulus compared with other so called 'high performance' deck shoes.

Formulated from 65% natural rubber, combined with silicates and mineral oils, it is noticeably ‘stickier’ to the touch than conventional compounds.

Just run your hand over the sole and the degree of adhesion is tangible. Grip on decks, wet or dry - tested on all common deck surfaces, has been maximised with a ‘footprint’ area designed to optimise surface contact. Noticeable are the wide and deep longitudinal drainage channels to obviate aquaplaning; cross-foot channels create flex zones, enabling the sole to articulate freely with the foot.

The GripDeck 2 sole is further enhanced by undulated razor cuts in the toe/ball of foot area, which give over 1500 edge grips on a size 8 shoe, when subjected to angled pressure.

The GripDeck 2 sole has been extensively trialled in New Zealand, northern European and Caribbean racing.

The new sole is being used on Musto's:
