The VAJOLET GTX MID has everything that a technical alpine boot requires: a high-rise, stabilising, full grain leather upper, fabric components and PU-reinforced segments. The robust mix of materials with the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane keeps your feet dry and warm, while the wrap-around rubber rand protects the boots against sharp rocks and knife-edged glacier ice. Extended lacing allows you to customise the fit right down to the toes for the best possible grip on the mountainside, while the pinched shank guarantees extra stability every step of the way. The VIBRAM ALP TRAC® outsole with its special CLIMBING ZONE and heel groove for semi-automatic crampons ensures optimum traction on vertical climbs and narrow ledges. And because comfort also plays a pivotal role in the joy of reaching the summit, the mountain boot comes with a soft gaiter behind the Achilles tendon, padded areas around the ankle and pull tabs on both tongue and heel for easy on and off. Men's boots.
• GORE-TEX® – Guaranteed weather protection, even in pouring rain and heavy snow: The VAJOLET GTX MID is equipped with a GORE-TEX membrane. The innovative technology delivers optimal waterproof protection and breathability.
• 2-Zone-Lacing – Thanks to the two-zone lacing system used in the VAJOLET GTX MID, the forefoot and upper have their own separately adjustable lacing zones. As a result, the shoe can be individually adapted to the anatomy of the foot and laced in different ways for ascents and descents.
• CLOSE TO THE GROUND - People who venture across Alpine terrain face many challenges. Fields of loose rocks, rocky outcrops and rough terrain place the highest demands on footwear. For this reason, LOWA uses the technologies of CLOSE TO THE GROUND in the VAJOLET GTX MID to create a good feel on the surface. The sole is designed in such a way that the distance to the ground is kept to a bare minimum. The height minimisation throughout the entire shoe creates a natural feel during challenging tours and provides stable footing on uneven terrain.
• CLOSE TO THE ROCK - People who venture across Alpine terrain face many challenges. Fields of loose rocks, rocky outcrops and rough terrain place the highest demands on footwear. For this reason, LOWA uses the technologies of CLOSE TO THE ROCK in the VAJOLET GTX MID to create a good feel on the rock. The toe area of the shoe is designed in such a way that the distance to the rock is kept to a bare minimum.
• LOWA X-Lacing - As a result, the tongue is located where it should be – without any slippage or pressure points: This is what X-LACING technology of the VAJOLET GTX MID is all about. This special lacing system secures the tongue both vertically and horizontally. Because the lacing system gains independence from the height of the instep, the design is perfect for any type of foot. This technology ensures that the pressure of the laces is transferred not just to the hooks but to the tongue as well.
• LOWA FlexFit: Feet can roll more effectively if the upper of a hiking boot can be easily bent. Such a feature saves energy when the wearer climbs hills and it provides real comfort in the process. For this reason, LOWA has integrated a flexible zone and a lace loop into this area for the VAJOLET GTX MID. This involves repositioning the boot’s eyelets and using a flexible lace hook that improves heel comfort and facilitates bending.
• C4-Tongue – The specially designed tongue of the VAJOLET GTX MID substantially enhances comfort. The tongue includes extra padding for the outer portion of the foot, and the upper end of it is especially soft. This asymmetric padding provides effectively coordinated support to many areas of the foot. To take into account the foot’s anatomy, the recesses for the ankle area have also been placed higher on the inside than on the outside, and a flexible bending insert has been integrated into the inner side by the foot.
• The performance sole VIBRAM ALP TRAC® NUMEN is designed especially for alpine conditions. The large “climbing zone” on the sole tip enables wearers to move precisely as they manoeuvre their way up sheer rock faces. The stud arrangement ensures that any dirt that accumulates in the sole of the footwear will be shaken loose while the boot wearer is walking.
