Garmont 9.81 Engage Mid GTX Black Hiking Boots

Suitable for hiking, long approaches and active urban use

These boots are designed for people who don't distinguish between "sportswear" and "city wear". The lightweight upper made of 100% recycled 3D polyester provides sufficient ventilation for warm seasons, while the Vibram Durmast sole with Megagrip and Traction Lug technologies grips confidently on wet ground and city pavements alike. At 450 g per foot (size 42 EU), this is a weight level where boot fatigue is noticeably less on long distances.

The G-Wrap technology redistributes lacing load across the entire foot perimeter, which is especially noticeable on long descents when the foot tends to shift forward. The Heel Lock additionally secures the heel, preventing blisters.

Materials and appearance

The black body combines a textile mesh section with rubber and synthetic overlays. Bright red laces, a wide red tongue with textured embossing and a heel loop for putting on create a striking contrast with the black upper. Eyelets and the Garmont logo are in yellow-hot color. The sole is multi-layered: black tread with deep lugs, gray intermediate section and red inserts in the heel and toe area. The yellow Vibram logo is visible on the sole. A rigid heel cup with gray overlay provides additional protection and stability. The production uses recycled and biomaterials, meeting modern requirements for responsible equipment.
