Zodiac Tech GTX Hiking Boot

For technical scrambles and summer alpine trips, the Zodiac Tech GTX is our go-to hiking boot for hikers who need mountaineering precision without a full-on climbing boot. Sock-Fit XT construction and to-the-toe lacing lock in a precise fit, while the Vibram Mont outsole and BAS midsole keep you planted on rock and scree.

• Vibram Mont outsole with the Bascula Adaptive System lets the lugs adapt to uneven ground, so you get grip on wet rock, loose dirt, and scree
• Perwanger suede upper and full-wrap 360-degree rubber rand take the abuse of sharp rock and trail debris
• GORE-TEX lining blocks rain, snow, and slush. It's a warm boot, so save it for high-elevation objectives rather than humid Southeast summer miles
• Sock-Fit XT midfoot and to-the-toe lacing let you dial in a snug, precise fit for edging and scrambling
• Rear TPU heel bail accepts semi-automatic crampons, and the stretch gaiter keeps scree and small stones out for glacier and summer mountaineering days
