Geoterra Outdry Ltr women's

Use:

• Designed for hiking and single-day routes, offering the perfect combination of protection, comfort, and grip on a wide variety of trails and conditions.
• Ideal for technical trekking and multi-day routes (backpacking), where durability, midfoot support, and torsional stability are crucial for carrying loads and tackling uneven terrain.
• Perfect for mountain excursions and adventures year-round, thanks to their fully waterproof and breathable construction that keeps feet dry and comfortable.
• Built to confidently tackle difficult, rocky, and changing terrain, whether in dry conditions or in the presence of rain, puddles, and mud, thanks to their superior traction.

Features:

• The NAVIC FIT SYSTEM™ lacing system wraps the midfoot to provide a secure and natural lockdown, minimizing heel slippage and increasing stability with every step.
• OutDry™ construction provides exceptional waterproofing and breathability through a seamless, one-piece membrane that fuses directly with the outer fabric, eliminating any gaps where water can seep through.
• Features a robust rubber toe and heel cap that act as a protective shield against rocks, roots, and abrasions, significantly increasing the footwear's durability in high-wear areas.
• Incorporates a midfoot shank that provides essential torsional rigidity, improving support and stability on uneven surfaces and preventing foot fatigue over long distances.
• The Vibram® outsole offers a high-performance rubber compound designed to provide extraordinary grip and traction on a wide variety of surfaces, both dry and wet.

Materials:

• Upper made of high-quality full-grain leather, sourced from LWG certified tanneries, offering maximum durability, resistance, and a classic aesthetic. It is combined with a durable fabric collar (100% polyester) for greater flexibility and comfort in the ankle area.
• The waterproofing system is based on OutDry™ technology, a membrane laminated directly onto the leather that creates an impenetrable barrier to water while allowing vapor to escape, ensuring feet remain dry from both the outside and inside.
• The midsole is made with a compound similar to polyurethane (PU), providing resilient cushioning, durable shock absorption, and superior comfort throughout the boot's lifespan.
• The insole is made of 100% PU, a material that offers excellent support and energy return, besides being more resistant to compression than conventional foams, maintaining its shape and properties longer.
• The inner lining is 100% polyester, a soft fabric that helps manage foot moisture, improving comfort and contributing to the overall breathability of the footwear.
