Grip on various terrain
The Vibram Ibex is composed of two compounds which work together to provide a stable and grippy ride on most types of terrain. The Idrogrip addresses traction on wet grounds while the Megagrip compound creates a balance between pliability and firmness.
Vasque Grand Traverse's multi-feature cushioning
The cushioning of the Grand Traverse has an abundance of features. It uses a Poron foam which adapts to the contours of the foot.
It also features a footbed and midsole made of dual-density EVA and molded EVA, respectively. These blend of foams grant long-lasting comfort while maintaining a low weight.
Supportive shank
A TPU stabilizer is also placed in the midfoot section to give support and rigidity.
Vasque Grand Traverse's lightweight upper materials
The upper of the Vasque Grand Traverse is made of 1.8 mm suede leather and PU overmolded mesh. These materials make the boot hard-wearing and breathable. It is reinforced with a rubber toe cap which also adds durability. It has a lining that wicks away moisture and promotes airflow even in the most strenuous activities. The classic lace-up closure is made up of punched eyelets.
Other uses of the Vasque Grand Traverse
