Anatomically Directed Design (a.d.d.® )

GARMONT® developed the a.d.d.® (Anatomically Directed Design) technology from an in-depth study of the foot.
The foot is a complex anatomical structure designed to support the body's weight, absorb impact and provide stability and mobility during movement. With its combination of bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments, the foot plays an essential role in locomotion and balance. Proper biomechanical function is essential to prevent injuries and improve performance, especially in outdoor and sports activities. Shoes designed with anatomical and technological features can enhance stability, comfort and more efficient movement, reducing fatigue and the risk of injury.
This innovative approach integrates five design elements that, depending on the model, work in synergy to offer stability, comfort and technicity.

PRECISION LACING

technicity - stability

The shoe flexes like your foot for out-of-the-box walking comfort.

DIFFERENTIAL ANKLE PADS

stability - comfort

Securely locks the heel in place for a precise fit around the ankle bones for better stability and support.

ASYMMETRICAL CUFF

stability - comfort

The ankle cuff is lower on the outside and taller on the inside for better edging, greater overall stability and comfort when traversing and scrambling.

ROOMY TOE BOX

comfort

Features a straighter shape to accommodate the natural position of the big toe. With this design your toes can provide better balance and propulsion.

ANATOMICAL TONGUE

stability - comfort

The tongue matches the asymmetric shape of the top of your foot and ankle. It is thicker to the outside and progressively thinner toward the inside. This anatomic shape keeps the tongue in place resulting in better control, stability and comfort.
