What is the Ducan Low?
The Ducan Low is a flexible, supportive and highly versatile shoe for walking and mountain use. Featuring Mammut's brilliant Flextron technology, the Ducan is designed to provide the most comfortable, natural feeling walking experience possible.
What are they made of?
The Ducan Low's are made from a mix of dual-layered mesh and rubber in high wear areas. The majority of the lower half of the Ducan is layered in a tough, abrasion resistant rubber, while the upper half and less stressed areas use the more breathable and comfortable mesh. The front and rear of the shoe use greater amounts of rubber to deal with general abrasion while on the trail or in the mountains.
What are the features?
Flextron Technology: This new technology creates a barefoot feeling underfoot while providing sensible levels of cushioning to relieve pressure and to increase comfort. It also places more flexible areas of material in areas where our foot needs to bend and stiffer materials where our foot requires a greater level of support. Not only does this increase comfort and support, but also displaces your weight more evenly over the shoe, therefore increasing grip as more surface area is constantly in contact with the ground.
Vibram sole unit: A Vibram Flextron sole unit provides high levels of grip on a variety of surfaces. Multi-directional lugs provide grip in wet and sloppy conditions, while a deep heel promotes confidence when descending.
Elastic Gore-Tex tongue construction: The first thing you'll notice when you slip your foot into the Ducan is how comfortable the tongue feels. Rather than your standard tongue that can move about and can become off-centre during a long walk, the Ducan's tongue is fixed on the one side to prevent it slipping around during use. The tongue with a Gore-Tex membrane wraps around the foot securely and seals out the elements when things get a little wet and muddy.
How do they fit?
The Ducan's feature a very 'average fit'. They're an average volume, an average width and feature plenty of room around the toes for hours of comfortable walking. In short, they should fit most users quite well, however if in doubt, watch our video below for more accurate tutorial as to how to fit your footwear at home.
Summary
The Ducan Low's are perfect for general walking, mountain use and when you don't require the added ankle support of a boot. The long list of technical features results in a piece of footwear that is comfortable for an entire days use without a worry.
