Exceptional boot for extended backpacking, long trekking, and four season hikes. KEY FEATURES: Zamberlan's best-selling boot, the 996 Vioz GT is a tribute to Italian comfort, performance, and design. Discover why this is one of the best reviewed boots in the outdoor industry worldwide! Now available in wide sizes. A Zamberlan Hydrobloc® full-grain leather upper with straight-forward and effective design sits atop an exclusive Zamberlan Vibram® 3D outsole providing excellent grip, superb downhill braking, wide lugs for easy debris removal, and an energy producing, rock-forward motion. As with all Zamberlan soles, the Zamberlan Vibram® 3D soles are re-solable. Gore-Tex® Performance Comfort membranes provide the utmost protection and breathability while the Microtex® wicking nylon collar lining helps control excess moisture around the ankle. The ZFS (Zamberlan Flex System) allows the boot to very comfortably flex forward without compromising support laterally.
