The Alpstein GTX, with its attention-grabbing style and convincing functionality, is the perfect all-purpose shoe for leisure from the front door to mountain peaks. Whether facing spring morning dew, summer downpours, autumn's damp leaves, or winter paths covered in white powder snow, the special, strong pattern of the Vibram® Vybrid sole offers optimal grip and feel regardless of the surface. In these shoes, one can also venture into rockier terrain, as the outsole rises slightly on the sides of the shoe, protecting the upper while emphasizing the shoe's technical appearance. The flex grooves support a natural rolling gait. The EVA midsole provides cushioning, and its bright contrasting color draws attention. The sturdy ripstop upper is combined with durable nubuck leather at the toe and heel, along with a suede detail on the side. The GORE-TEX® membrane makes the shoe functional in any weather. The removable OrthoLite® insole adds comfort, and there is a loop at the back of the shaft that makes it easy to pull the shoe on.
