I chose these shoes as a versatile model for spring, summer and autumn for someone just starting out with climbing Polish peaks. So far, I’ve reached 32 peaks in them, covered a total of 123 km, and completed more than 6,000 metres of ascent. The shoes are comfortable, sturdy and look good. I was worried they might cause excessive sweating, but in practice that hasn’t been a problem at all. I can recommend them with complete confidence. The only minor downside is the laces — I get the impression they are a little too slippery, which means they sometimes come loose.

Black trekking boots equipped with a Gore-Tex membrane, made from tear-resistant synthetic fabric and mesh material. Ventilated parts of the upper, insoles, and laces are made from recycled materials. These boots are perfect both for trails and as versatile urban footwear.
Breathable Gore-Tex membrane
Thanks to the breathable and waterproof Gore-Tex membrane, the boots protect against soaking while allowing the skin to breathe, wicking away excess moisture to the outside. This design makes the footwear suitable for various weather conditions.

Merrell Air Cushion is a midsole with extra air cushion that absorbs shock when walking while providing maximum support to the foot. This translates into greater comfort, control and stability needed for outdoor footwear.
Gore-Tex is a thin membrane made of polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), which features a microporous structure. Its structure makes it highly water- and wind-resistant, as well as breathable. The membrane's pores are 700 times larger than a molecule of water vapor, which allows it to efficiently wick moisture to the outside. Gore-Tex is widely used in the production of outdoor clothing and footwear.
Cleansport NXT is a technology that uses microorganisms to neutralize odors by naturally breaking down organic matter. Beneficial microorganisms are permanently fused to the fibers of the materials, where, when they come into contact with the organic material (sweat), they activate and produce enzymes that fight the bacteria responsible for the odor. This ecological process ensures a feeling of freshness and comfort even during the most intense activities.
