Trekking boots are often worn for long periods at a time and so have to provide continuous comfort. They also have to provide support in the upper part of the boot and secure traction underfoot because of the rough terrain that will be encountered.

These boots include a sure-grip outsole that can handle a variety of terrain, and the shock-absorbing qualities mean that your feet will be brilliantly cushioned, even with heavy rucksack loads. There is also a motion guide shank between the upper and the sole. This determines the torsion resistance of the whole sole, and as a result, the activities which the boot is suitable for.

The trekking boots include a preformed 4.5mm thick polypropylene shank with medium torsion resistance. The boot also consists of Texapore technology; a waterproof, breathable construction membrane. This 4-ply laminate material makes up a layer of mesh carrying material, the membrane itself, another layer of padding and a lining material.

This particular boot includes Texapore O3, the most breathable version of the technology. These boots also include a brace support fitting system for support, whereby the TPU stabilising system encloses the ankle and midfoot and can be adjusted with the lacing for the most suitable fit.

The Thinsulate insulation means there is excellent heat retention, and windproof qualities thanks to the fine configuration of the polypropylene and polyester microfibre fibres.
