Vasque Summit GTX backpacking boots deliver incredible comfort, without sacrificing support or stability, in a premier leather package. Uppers made from American-made top-grain leather are flexible and waterproof. Waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex drop-liners with wicking nylon knit linings supply dry comfort and seam-sealed protection from water leakage. Smooth-pulling roller ball hardware adjusts and secures easily across insteps and increases lace durability. Rubber toe bumpers protect feet from bumps and add abrasion resistance to uppers. Extended-height padded collars offer ankle protection without pinching the Achilles tendon. Dry-Tech contoured footbeds allow air circulation underneath feet for comfort. Dual-density polyurethane midsoles supply durability and lightweight cushioning. Molded polyurethane shock pads under heels and forefeet absorb excess shock. Kinetic fiberglass/polycarbonate insole boards control flex, create torsional rigidity and add stability on uneven terrain with pack loads. Sturdy Vibram Summit outsoles blend aggressive traction lugs and broad stability lugs for superb grip and handling on rugged terrain. |
