Internally, the HydroFoam multi-density foams offer improved moisture-wicking and comforting properties to keep your feet dry and responsive through every push.
True's Shift Attack Holder is designed with Postlock Technology that allows the holder and toe to be flush against the post. With a better toe to post connection, goalies will have explosive cross-crease pushes. In case of a damaged runner, the holder comes with BenchChange Technology so goalies can swap it out quickly and get back in the game.
