Now you know what Piano gives you, find out how.
Piano Anti-Shock
Edea Anti-Shock increases stability on landing by absorbing and reducing impact vibrations. Ice chatter is absorbed making skating smoother and allowing the skater to transition more quickly. Anti-Shock uses two materials to reduce impacts and ice chatter.
Noene is an ultra modern rubber that has a unique patented composition that disperses over half the kinetic energy absorbed by the body. Its visco-elasticity has the potential to disperse up to 98% of negative energy and vibrations.
PORON® is an open cell polyurethane offering exceptional anti-shock characteristics. Its slow return memory offers the best absorption to complement Noene dispersion.
The combination makes Piano the most advanced skating boot in the world. Two layers of Noene® are included, one integrated in the inner sole and the other in the outer sole. A heel insert of Poron® which stretches across the arch further improves the feel by absorbing shocks.
What are the benefits to the Edea Anti-shock system?
• Minimized impact shock protecting you from potential injury
• Absorbed ice chatter for smoother glide and a more solid base
• Increased stability on landings for quicker transitions and jumps
• Reduced strain on ankles, knees, hips and the back
Piano dissection
The Piano is the latest in boot technology. Here we dissect how we made it.
TECHNOMICRO OUTER
The outer of Piano uses the latest in materials called Technomicro. A composite microfiber thinner than even silk. It is lighter, stronger and more water-resistant than leather and easier to clean as it is stain resistant.
HAR MESH
Edea use a specially treated H.A.R. (High Abrasion Resistant) mesh to add strength while keeping the boot lightweight. The single weave thread is more durable and keeps its integrity.
THERMOFORMABLE SUPPORT
The lightweight tri-layer construction is combined to give greater strength, better support and through superior elastic memory an unrivalled cushioning. It is also thermoformable which allows skilled technicians to instant custom fit your Piano boots.
MEMORY FOAM
Memory foam’s high density properties gives the ultimate in comfort. It supports your foot allowing micro movements to give better control and feel. It holds its shape giving you the perfect fit every time.
INNER AIR-TECH LINING
The inner lining of Piano is an Air-Tech mesh fabric. Using a single thread to create an inner chamber for air cooling and natural insulation. Its moisture resistant properties also improve hygiene.
Piano dynamics
To complement the latest materials Edea used the best in design to make the Piano.
RESPONSIVE FOOTBED FOR POWER
The innovative honeycomb footbed is lighter and stronger, increasing power transmission and improving response time, so giving greater control.
THIN SOLE FOR FEELING
The advanced waterproofed thinner sole lowers the center of gravity, improving balance and sensitivity. Feel the edges, connect with the ice.
ARCHED HEEL FOR CONTROL
Inspired by Roman architecture our longer heel arch is designed to distribute forces over a longer axis and give the skater more control.
ERGONOMIC HEEL LOCK
The ergonomic heel lock holds the foot in place allowing the skater to engage edges more quickly.
HOOKS FOR LACING
Carbon steel galvanized hooks have been lengthened, lowered and repositioned to keep the laces locked in place, wrapping the ankles but increasing movement range.
