DOLOMITE CRODANERA HI GTX The hiking shoe that blends the best of all worlds

With its rugged and protective design, carefully engineered comfort and low weight, this sleek new shoe from Dolomite is a perfect all-rounder

-

ITALIAN BRAND DOLOMITE has well over a century of experience in crafting outdoor footwear, but the Crodanera Hi GTX is a very modern hiking shoe.

The sleek and minimal look is not just aesthetic: it reflects the efficient, pareddown design of these lightweigh­t boots, which have been engineered to strip away any unnecessar­y weight and bulk whilst maintainin­g the features that are most essential for comfort and performanc­e.

Built to handle fast hiking and lightweigh­t travel in mountainou­s and alpine terrain, the watchword here is comfort. The upper, crafted with seamless technology and a stretch collar and tongue, adapts to the wearer by wrapping around their instep and ankle, allowing the foot to move naturally whilst offering excellent support.

Weighing in at 500g in the men’s version and 415g in the women’s, these boots are more than light enough for pacey hiking, but they don’t skimp on features either: the shock-absorbing midsole and the Vibram outsole offer superb stability and grip, whilst the Gore-Tex lining gives the best possible protection from the elements.

It might be designed for ‘fast and light’ travel, but the comfort and support offered by the Crodanera Hi GTX makes the shoe a good fit for any hiker who prefers their footwear to be agile and comfortabl­e, regardless of how speedy they intend to be. Other features like the precise and fast lacing system, the breathable mesh footbed and the sturdy and protective toe box help to round off the package.

This versatile boot combines the best of all worlds: performanc­e, protection, comfort and lightness. It could well be the perfect ‘all-rounder’ for your mountain adventures this summer.
