Updates to the Vasque Inhaler II GTX
- From single-colored overlays of the previous version, the newer version now has dual-colored overlays.
Vasque-exclusive Vibram Pneumatic rubber outsole
The Inhaler II GTX features the Vibram Pneumatic rubber outsole which is made of Megagrip Compound. It yields traction on wet and dry terrain while optimizing flexibility. It adapts to various ground conditions for a more stable stride.
The flexion lines in the forefoot section promote a smoother roll-off motion.
Shock absorbent midsole of the Inhaler II GTX
The compression molded EVA midsole of Vasque Inhaler II GTX provides cushioning and shock absorption. It has a TPU instep shank which gives underfoot firmness and stability on uneven trails.
The Vasque designers added a dual density EVA footbed which cradles the foot and optimizes comfort.
Vasque’s Inhaler II GTX leather-and-mesh upper combo
The upper is made breathable with the combination of 1.6 mm waterproof leather and abrasion-resistant Air Mesh. Ventilation ports near the TPR toe and heel counters also amplify airflow.
This mid-cut light hiking boot is engineered with Gore-Tex Extended Comfort technology designed to protect the foot from wet elements. Its non-insulated construction promotes breathability.
Its cushioned tongue and collar render comfort. Its low friction lacing uses webbing eyelets and open hooks to facilitate quicker closure. The rear pull tab assists in donning and doffing.
