    This review is about the colour: Multicolour

    They were purchased from a non-platform store.
    After 1 year of use, they have significant wear and tear compared to the price they are sold for.
    Some heels have completely broken off and others are halfway gone.
    Also, be careful with the size, you may need a larger one. I wear a size 44 and after searching, I got the 45 1/3 which fits me perfectly.
    Compared to cheaper shoes, maybe even half the price, that have Vibram soles, I expected more durability over time. I am disappointed because theoretically these shoes are supposed to be of higher quality from this company.
    In the second picture, there are other mountaineering boots with Vibram soles and they have been used for 5-6 years in various activities such as agricultural work, hunting, and hiking.

    MAY 2025: Their wear is something else!!! They disintegrate at a geometric rate.....STAY AWAY!!!

    JUNE 2024: After almost 2 years, I confirm that the wear on the sole is evident and impressively fast!!! Compared to some Trezeta I had before, in this area much worse..... I do not recommend it.

    JAN 2023: I removed one star because they are very tight even at the back side parts. Having a very wide instep, they hurt a lot at first! After 4 hikes, they are okay, they have loosened up. The material is very sturdy and they don't slip. One size larger as we typically say for this company.

    Very good support on the foot and very good grip on all types of terrain (pine forest with pine cones and needles, oak, gravel and rock, bare alpine, etc.). Overall, it gives a sense of safety and stability. Very good midsole that absorbs shocks and prevents knee strain. Overall, everything is good. It takes a little patience to break them in. The support system hit me and caused a wound on my first hike, but it was fine on the following ones. The only negative is that the sole wears out on gravel and has some wear and tear. Overall, a boot that will support you even with a 12-13 kg backpack.

Premium Nubuck Leather & GORE-TEX Membrane – Abrasion-Resistant & 100% Waterproof

The upper is made from durable natural Nubuck leather combined with technical synthetic materials, offering superior resistance to tears and intense abrasion from sharp rocks. The natural leather gradually adapts to the shape of your foot, providing exceptional, lasting comfort. The integrated GORE-TEX membrane creates an impenetrable barrier against water, mud and snow, keeping your feet completely dry. At the same time, it offers excellent breathability, allowing perspiration vapour to escape quickly and keeping the interior cool and comfortable throughout the day.

ADV-C Chassis Technology & Ortholite Anatomical Footbed

The innovative ADV-C Chassis stabilizing frame in the midsole targets the lateral joints of the foot to optimize stability. It effectively protects the ankle from unwanted lateral twisting while keeping the forefoot flexible for smooth movement. Inside, the anatomical Ortholite insole offers superior cushioning and lasting comfort with every step. Its antibacterial properties manage moisture and prevent unpleasant odors, making long hikes more comfortable.

Contagrip Outsole

The Contagrip outsole provides consistent, secure grip on a variety of mountain surfaces.
