Utilizing a full carbon fiber construction and NeuroFit+ Technology within the superior one-piece boot, the 7X4 truly wraps and contours around the foot like a second skin. This means a custom-like fit with zero negative space, resulting in better speed and agility through dialed-in energy transfer that two-piece boots can't compete with.
With a full Clarino HydroFoam Liner, players wearing the Catalyst 7X4 will experience one of the most commonly requested pro constructions on the market. The clarino material not only helps lock the foot in to prevent energy loss, but it's helps wick away moisture and is very durable. The top of the foot experiences the pro treatment with the pro-grade, multi-layer tongue that with excellent impact and lace-bite protection without sacrificing weight.
Much like the replaceable pro tongue, True used a replaceable injected flex tendon guard. Since Catalyst is all about agility, it boasts much more range of motion compared to the HZRDUS line. Below the boot, True used their premium True Shift Max 9CR runner that rocks a very high-quality steel construction that maintains edge life and helps to improve glide too.
