Tecvision Retractable Spike System Lets Boots Do Double Duty

Feb-10-13
The Tecvision Spike System retracts into the boot, keeping the wearer stable on ice while also protecting floors and feet.

Created by the German footwear manufacturer Meindl, the boots feature an integrated gear system that allows the spikes to extend or retract. Turning a dial on the back of the boot will pop out the six spikes, which are spread evenly on the sole, and another turn of the dial will cause the spikes to retract, exposing only the rubber sole. The dial itself lays flush with the boot and is flipped out for use, maintaining the ‘normal’ profile of the boot.

The boots are planned to be available in September.
