Ultimate Grip Concept® UGC® is Viking's unique sole technology. It is designed and developed to give perfect grip in rough terrain and on wet and slippery surfaces. Hiking in the Norwegian mountains you need footwear you can rely on. With Viking's UGC® you are guaranteed to have a safe and care-free outdoor experience. Soft rubber UGC® - Viking's own sole technology with focus on perfect grip. A soft rubber mixture of 60 shore creates the foundation. Soft rubber, stability and shock absorption - these are the three primary factors that determine how our UGC® sole works. Not only are they key factors, the main forces exerted to a shoe/boot work within these frames - creating and relying on one thing: grip. Customized UGC® - Ultimate Grip Concept - was originally developed for our heavy hunting and mountain boots. It worked remarkably well. Today UGC® is adapted to cover a wide range of activities. A hunting and trekking boot will have other characteristics when compared to a trail walking and hiking shoe/boot. First and foremost because they require different flexibility - our UGC® sole for hunting and trekking is much stiffer and more rigid, while UGC® for trail walking demands a more flexible and soft sole with lateral and torsion stability. Features UGC® provides these unique features: Viking's rubber mixture with a softness of 60 Shore for maximum grip and durability. Asymmetrical lug pattern that also provides good drainage. Lugs placed in different directions provide grip, traction and braking power at all conceivable angles and in all types of terrain. A recessed torsion bar for extra grip when this part of the sole impacts against rocks, roots and slippery surfaces About Viking History Values Social responsibility Media center Contact us Technologies Ultimate Grip Concept(UGC) Natural rubber BOA BASF Elastopan(Thermo) Comfort Technology Insole Gore-Tex Ambassadors Kjetil Jansrud DNT Top of Norway Elisa Røtterud Customer Service Size range How to buy shoes for kids Returns Guarantee and claims Product care Freight & Delivery Terms & Conditions Viking Academy (B2B) Newsletter Subscribe to our newsletter Viking Outdoor Footwear A/S, Norway Phone: +47 22 07 24 00 Customer service:
