Solid lace system

It has a padded tongue and collar that secures the foot. Its flat laces keep the plush tongue in place via a small slot on top. It passes through the eyelet where it connects with the Flywire cables in the midfoot area. Flywire is a cable made from Vectran, a type of material created from a liquid-crystal polymer that is extremely strong and flexible.

Pulling on the laces tightens the Flywire and locks the foot down. It also delivers support during lateral movements.
