What are the Kento Tour High GTX Boots?
They're versatile, waterproof mountaineering boots made with reliable Gore-Tex® technology to provide optimum protection from the elements. They're suitable for various activities, including light mountaineering, via ferrata, mountain and multi-day hiking, trekking and backpacking in challenging environments.
What are they made of?
The upper uses Mastrotto split leather, a high quality, full grain split leather with fantastic technical properties. Made in Italy, it not only looks great but feels lovely and supple to give you the flexibility you need on steep ascents and descents. This leather is also naturally durable to endure a beating from rock and rugged terrain.
A Gore-Tex® Performance Comfort lining uses a four-layer laminate construction to provide reliable waterproof protection without compromising breathability. It's abrasion resistant, versatile and highly adaptable to changing conditions - perfect for unpredictable mountain terrain. The lining allows sweat vapour to move to the outside to keep your feet feeling fresh and dry in intense or humid climates, so you can comfortably wear these boots all year round.
What are their features?
A pre-shaped tongue feels more comfortable to wear for extended periods and sits closer to the foot to give you more support by helping to hold the foot in place.
Individual two-zone lacing allows you to adjust according to your foot shape, size, and activity. It helps to draw in the boot around the foot, making it feel much more stable and secure and giving you confidence on uneven ground.
Motion control technology reinforces the structure of the boots yet enables them to flex from the inside to help prevent your ankle from twisting, causing injury. The technology is unnoticeable to wear and still provides complete freedom of movement.
A durable raised rubber rand helps protect the ends and sides of your feet from bumps and scrapes. It feels super solid but doesn't make the boots too chunky or heavy, so you can still achieve good precision for scrambling steep ascents and navigating via ferrata routes.
3D Memo Foam cushioning adapts to your foot shape to increase comfort and offers extra support where you need it most while helping to prevent blisters.
A Vibram® Hexa Tech sole gives you plenty of traction on smooth or wet surfaces, gripping the ground using a sticky rubber compound and deep lugs that can dig into softer surfaces.
These boots are also semi-automatic (strap-on) crampon compatible, so if you're exploring in winter, they still work brilliantly and provide exceptional versatility.
