Still Waters Posted December 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The world's first-ever hiking boots to use graphene have been unveiled by The University of Manchester and British brand inov-8. Building on the international success of their pioneering use of graphene in trail running and fitness shoes last summer, the brand is now bringing the revolutionary technology to a market recently starved of innovation. Just one atom thick and stronger than steel, graphene has been infused into the rubber of inov-8's new ROCLITE hiking boots, with the outsoles scientifically proven to be 50% stronger, 50% more elastic and 50% harder wearing. Collaborating with graphene experts at the University, inov-8 is the first brand in the world to use the material in sports shoes and now hiking footwear. https://phys.org/news/2018-12-world-first-graphene-hiking-boots.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
