Size and fit

Outsole
This boot for backpacking employs the Zamberlan Vibram NorTrack outsole. The multidirectional lugs at the center render 360-degree traction. The aggressive, widely-spaced boots along the side of the sole create a self-cleaning system. The toe area has a beveled design for a smooth toe-off while the heel tip is sculptured to increase grip.
Midsole
The Zamberlan 1025 Tofane NW GT RR features a bi-density PU wedge underfoot to absorb shock from ground impacts and provide cushioning to users. The groove, which is visible at the exterior of the midsole, promotes flexibility. Additionally, a 3.5 mm Nor-Flex Light + PE insole enhances comfort.
Upper
The upper of this mid-cut backpacking boot uses a durable 2.8 mm full grain waxed Tuscan leather. It is treated with Hydrobloc and is lined with a Gore-Tex Performance Comfort laminate. This construction makes the 1025 Tofane NW GT RR waterproof, breathable and moderately insulated.
The leather hiking boot has a rubber rand at the toe area which enhances its durability and protects the foot against knocks. Comfort is amplified by its padded tongue and collar. The Zamberlan Flex-STM (ZFS), a flex junction in the ankle area, increases flexibility. Lastly, its lacing hardware features metal D-rings and open and closed hooks for fit management.
