What is the Ducan High GTX?
The Duncan High GTX Boots are lightweight, supportive boots ideal for mountain adventures and multi-day treks, or they even work great as general outdoor boots for those who prefer something a little lighter and more supple.
What are they made of?
The Ducan High GTX'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 boot use greater amounts of rubber to deal with general abrasion while on the trail or in the mountains.
A Gore-Tex® Extended Comfort lining maximises heat and moisture transfer for more efficient performance during intense activities while providing reliable waterproof protection, keeping you comfortable, protected and dry in all conditions.
What are the features?
Flextron Technology: This new technology creates a barefoot feeling underfoot while providing moderate cushioning to relieve pressure and 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. Increased support helps to displace your weight more evenly over the shoe, 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 various surfaces. Multi-directional lugs provide grip in soggy 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 become off-centre during a long walk, the Ducan's tongue is fixed on one side to prevent it from slipping around during use. The tongue has a Gore-Tex membrane that wraps around the foot securely and seals out the elements when things get wet and muddy.
Mammut Georganic 3D Technology: This technology is designed to help the foot move more naturally, with a geometric-dynamic design combined with cuts that are tailored organically to the foot. It supports movement, helps you feel more stable and generally improves comfort ten-fold as you don't feel like you're stomping the ground aggressively.
How do they fit?
The Ducans feature a very 'average fit', made with an average volume and an average width, but they still feature plenty of room around the toes for hours of comfortable walking. In short, they should fit most users quite well.
The Ducan High is ideal for those who like the flexibility and comfort of a shoe but require a little more support for longer outings. Combining the mesh outer, wrap-around tongue and Flextron technology ensures exceptional levels of comfort for the short trail walk to the long days in the mountains.
