Key Features & Technical Specs

GORE-TEX® Performance Comfort: A full waterproof and breathable lining that ensures your feet stay dry in the rain while allowing sweat to escape during high exertion.

Vibram® Foura PU Outsole: Features deep lugs for maximum traction on mud, rock, and loose scree, combined with a built-in "climbing zone" at the toe.
