The Vortex XCR GTX W is a classic approach and walking shoe in the SCARPA range.
Rugged and durable, it offers the underfoot feel and qualities of a walking boot but with the easy comfort of a walking shoe.
The most obvious feature of the Vortex is its chunky Vibram sole unit, exclusive to this model, designed to give fantastic mechanical grip on loose surfaces and wet, ground
The bonded and lasted construction help add to the outright durability and strength, and of course it can be re-soled when the time comes
The supple fabric and suede upper works in conjunction with a quick and free running lace system to make it one of the easiest shoes to get off and on
- while still giving a great hold across the foot
The Gore-Tex membrane ensures a fully waterproof walking shoe
