Kayland

Vertigo High Backpacking Boot - Men's

The Kayland Men’s Vertigo High Boots give you solid support when you scramble up a scree-covered slope or slog through mud and snow while carrying a 55-pound pack. This former winner of the Backpacker Editors Choice Award features eVent waterproof breathable insert so your feet stay dry during stream crossings, on glaciers, and in wet weather. Cocona lining wicks sweat and soaks up foot funk. Rocker bottoms on the these Italian boots encourage your feet to stride naturally, and internal padding helps stabilize the ankles and locks the heels down. Kayland extended the lacing all the way to the toes to ensure a precise fit. The Vertigo High’s IADS (Integrated Absorbing Drive System) absorbs shock during heel strike, provides torsional stability so you’re less prone to turning an ankle, and propels you forward when you push off with the balls of your feet at the end of your stride.
