Yes, the soft snow cuff and GORE-TEX lining provide protection in snowy conditions, and the midsole is semi-crampon compatible for more technical snow and ice routes.
The Double Heell™ construction enhances grip and braking on descents, and promotes a smoother rolling motion, which helps reduce muscle fatigue.
The midsole is semi-crampon compatible, meaning it can be used with semi-automatic crampons. Always confirm compatibility with your specific crampon model.

Brush off dirt, then clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry away from heat. Periodically re-apply waterproofing treatment.
The Rubber Guard™ is an external shell on the outsole/midsole assembly that enhances durability and protection while contributing to the shoe's overall lightness and cushioning.
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets and tied with a firm knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or overly smooth.
Adjust the lacing tension, particularly around the ankle and instep. Ensure the gusseted tongue is properly positioned.
While GORE-TEX is waterproof, ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Check for any potential breaches in waterproofing or damage to the shoe.
This is normal for technical footwear. Wear the shoes on shorter walks to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Setup: These shoes are designed for immediate use in technical terrain. Ensure laces are tied securely but comfortably to take advantage of the ergonomic fit. For routes requiring crampons, ensure compatibility with semi-crampon systems before use.
Compatibility: The midsole is compatible with semi-automatic crampons. Always check your specific crampon model for full compatibility. The GORE-TEX lining provides waterproofing and breathability.
