- 1.6 mm suede leather uppers are durable and break in over time for glovelike comfort
- GORE-TEX linings are fully waterproof and breathable
- Dual Fit System (DFS) lacing allows for optimal fit and quick customization to give you the confidence and performance you need over the most demanding terrain
- Tighten the second lace to keep toes from tapping the ends of the shoes during steep downhills or when technical scrambling terrain calls for less movement inside the shoes
- Loosen the laces again for long-distance comfort
- Dual-density polyurethane and EVA midsoles provide support and lightweight comfort underfoot
- Elica Natural Stride System ensures an anatomic fit to provide better stability and weight distribution across the soles
- This reduces pressure points and encourages better form and performance
- Vibram® Approach Megagrip soles are designed to make quick work of trails while also giving you the confidence to edge and smear on your climb
- Weight (half pair): 14.3 oz.
