The Mission XP Mid is an approach shoe that provides protection and support for the ankle when you're out in the mountains with heavy luggage and big goals. The Mission Leather Mid WP, with its upper made of high-quality nubuck leather and a waterproof and breathable BD.dry lining, keeps your feet dry on wet paths and snowfields.

The deep tread also ensures good traction on muddy ground, while the continuous lacing with padding protects against dirt intrusion for added comfort. The perfectly tuned EVA midsole provides sufficient stiffness and precision in steep terrain and via ferratas, and multiple webbing loops offer attachment options when the approach ends and climbing begins.
