Engineered with high-performing three-layer waterproof GORE-TEX®, a midfoot stability shank and our lightweight SKYCORE rock guard, the new Verto Alpine Shoes are perfect for rugged adventures and alpine trekking. Thanks to a high-tenacity anti-abrasion-mesh upper, protective toe cap and scratch-rubber heel, you'll benefit from increased support and protection on the approach. The climbing zone at the toe is ideal for edging, while the braking zone at the heel prevents the foot from slipping during steep ascents.
