A breakthrough in alpine boot design, this next-generation concept was developed in collaboration with alpinist David Göttler, who was looking for a super light high altitude/acclimatization boot. The flexible, wear-resistant LOWA REPTEX upper features injected PU scales that mimic the protective skin of a reptile, replacing traditional thick rubber, while the VIBRAM® Alp Trac® SL sole is equipped with Litebase technology, which significantly reduces the weight and thickness of the sole without affect its adhesion or wear resistance. Compatible with combination crampons. 100% vegan. With a permanent waterproof/breathable GORE-TEX lining to protect your feet from the elements.
