These hiking shoes are designed for versatile all-weather use, thanks to the waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX Extended Comfort membrane that provides protection from the elements while keeping the foot dry and cool. They are suitable for both summer hiking and colder, wetter conditions, so they can also be used in winter, as long as not in deep snow or extreme ice conditions without additional crampons. Their robust construction and Vibram outsole offer stability and traction on variable terrain in all seasons.
