Grants grip on boulders and even on snowy surfaces

Lightweight and stable cushioning

Insulated carbon insole
It is partnered with an insulated carbon insole that enhances comfort by providing a decent amount of warmth. Also, there are heel and toe welts that receive crampons.
Waterproof and breathable
The Nordwand Light Mid GTX wears an abrasion-resistant Schoeller WB-400 Stretch Fabric for its upper. It also comes with a Gore-Tex Performance Comfort laminate, a feature that makes it waterproof and breathable.
Weatherproof
Also, this membrane gives a modest amount of insulation, providing an all-weather-ready performance. The raised rubber rand that wraps the base of the upper yields enhanced protection and durability.

The Base Fit 2.0 feature provides heel support and prevents the development of blisters for a more comfortable experience.
Easy to wear
