Comfort, weight and protection from the elements are often a series of trade-offs when it comes to footwear. But Vasque Torre AT GTX Boots manage to tip the scales in your favor for all three. It starts with the Vibram® Lightbase Sole, which cuts 30% of the weight compared to Vibram’s previous soles without sacrificing any of the traction – its Megagrip compound and aggressive lugs give you sure footing on slick or uneven terrain. The high-rebound footbed absorbs shock to keep you comfortable through hikes on hard ground. Plus the mesh and suede upper are backed by a GORE-TEX waterproof/breathable barrier so you can range out after a rainfall and stay dry through the whole trek.
