Mammut Alnasca Knit Low GORE-TEX Walking Shoes

The Alnasca line from Mammut are packed with cleverly conceived technologies and features for greater stability and comfort making them ideal for approaches and descents on climbs or easy hikes.

GORE-TEX Upper

The GORE-TEX upper ensures the shoes are durably waterproof combined with optimised breathability offering enduring weather protection. Water stays on the outside while perspiration can easily escape from the inside, thanks to their non-insulated construction they are the ideal solution for people who value outstanding climate comfort and heat release. This low-cut trekking shoe is designed for hikers and backpackers attempting to stay light on their feet. The upper boasts extreme comfort thanks to the soft, elasticated knit sock-like mesh construction that is enriched with a TPU elements for superb durability and protection from unseen trail hazards. Offering you 360 degree heel support, the three dimensional shaped TPU elements are designed for the anatomy of the heel bone which it aims to completely envelop. This in turn delivers the optimum heel fit, helping prevent twisted ankles and furhter protecting you against rock abrasion. Furthering the waterproofing on the shoe is the elastic GORE-TEX tongue construction ensuring that water can't get in from the top either keeping all parts of your feet well protected. Base Fit technology has been designed by Mammut, the sliding webbing transfers power from the lacing area to the soles ensuring that there's an improved hold in the boot to increase safety as well as comfort. Finally, a rubber toe cap protects the forefoot providing durability for tougher terrain.

Dual-Tech Midsole

This two-part midsole provides the middle ground between stability and comfort ensuring you have both whilst on approach or difficult terrain. A fixed Poro wedge in the forefoot area of the shoe has been designed to increase precision on approaches ensuring you know exactly where you foot will be landing. Additionally, pleasantly soft EVA on the heels provides a cushioning effect when walking giving you a plush and comfortable feel whilst on the move. With an anatomically shaped footbed, these shoes aim to fit your feet perfectly. With the addition of a Memo Foam insole, this ensures an individual fit and cushions the foot at the instep, shin as well as ankle giving you all the support you need.

Michelin Outsole

Michelin are well known for their traction on outsoles, the outsole for the Alnasca is no different. The high performance rubber supplied by Michelin has been used to build the OCX outsole to give you optimal grip on rocks and has been specially developed for approach shoes. The strategically placed lugs on the outsole as well as the varying sizes of the lugs ensure you have the traction where you need it in specific places. Working together with the insole and the elements of the Upper, the Alnasca aims to give you all the stability and protection required for technical terrains.
