• The rubber outsole with Omni-Grip™ technology is designed with a multi-directional, non-marking tread pattern that provides exceptional traction on a wide variety of surfaces, from dirt and gravel to rock and wet terrain.
• Weighing 412 grams (for a size 42 EU, ½ pair), it is a lightweight hiking boot that facilitates agility and all-day comfort without sacrificing protection.
• This product has been designed with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish without the use of PFAS, known as "forever chemicals", offering a more environmentally friendly solution.

Materials:

• Upper: Made from a combination of leather, mesh, and synthetic webbing. The leather provides durability, structure, and abrasion resistance in high-wear areas, while 100% polyester mesh ensures excellent breathability. Synthetic webbing reinforces the structure and lacing system for a secure fit.
• Inner Lining and Membrane: The interior is composed of a 100% polyester lining that manages moisture, working in conjunction with the Omni-Tech™ waterproof and breathable membrane, a bootie-like construction with fully sealed seams for complete water protection.
• Midsole: 100% EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate) foam under Techlite™ technology. This closed-cell material is known for its extreme lightness, its ability to efficiently absorb impacts, and its excellent resilience, which translates into a high energy return that propels each step.
• Insole: Made of 100% EVA, it provides an initial layer of cushioning and support underfoot, adapting to its shape for personalized comfort.
• Outsole: 100% high-traction rubber with Omni-Grip™ technology. This rubber compound is formulated to be non-marking on indoor surfaces and features a specific lug design to offer a firm and secure grip on both ascents and descents, adapting to mixed terrains.
