Arc'teryx - Vertex Alpine GTX - Approachskor

Comfortable approach shoes for challenging terrain in the mountains

The Vertex Alpine GTX from Arc'teryx are technical GORE-TEX approach shoes that strike a balance between stability, traction and a quick, lightweight construction. They combine the fit and functionality of trail running shoes with the stability needed for long days out on technical terrain.

With a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane and grippy Vibram XS Flash 2 sole

In addition, these shoes are lightweight and waterproof. The GORE-TEX liner keeps out rain and snow, while the Vibram XS Flash 2 outsole offers excellent friction and edging stability and is designed for perfect performance on the trail and for the best grip on both wet and dry surfaces.

Abrasion-resistant for higher durability

Meanwhile, a TPU collar and toe cap protect your feet in rough and rocky terrain. Plus, the hard-wearing upper material provides good durability to ensure that these approach shoes have a long life ahead of them.

The highlights at a glance:

• Laces are stowed in a practical pocket integrated into the tongue and thus won't get caught or come loose
• Midsole made from an EVA/polyolefin mix ensures less abrasion on the forefoot when climbing and scrambling
• Toe cap offers more protection and wear resistance
• GORE-TEX provides breathable, waterproof protection
• Knitted collar keeps out gravel and, together with the integrated tongue design, ensures a secure, sock-like fit
• Integrated carabiner loops for easy transport
• TPU plate provides underfoot protection and rigidity for increased stability
