Size and fit
The Mammut Mercury Tour II High GTX is a high-top backpacking boot for men. It uses a 2 Zone lacing system, which can be customized to give a secure lockdown across the length of the foot. It is lined with a layer of 3D Memo Foam, which adapts to the wearer’s foot, granting a comfortable in-shoe environment.
Excellent grip on slippery surfaces
The Mammut Mercury Tour II High GTX trekking boot comes with a Vibram 4 Trek outsole that helps wearers traverse challenging trails. Its central surface is filled with pentagon-shaped lugs, while rectangular tread patterns adorn the sole’s lateral zone. They produce grip on both wet and dry terrain.
Excellent stopping power
The rearfoot and forefoot regions contain a grooved design that renders added control for uphill and downhill conditions. A heel brake embedded into its construction provides extra stopping power. Moreover, the outsole’s front tip extends upward, shielding the user’s toes from stubbing.
Lightweight cushioning
This Mammut waterproof boot for outdoor excursions uses a midsole made of EVA foam. This material delivers a cushioned ride, reduces shock, and gives rebound while being lightweight.
A footbed sits on top of the midsole, giving added cushioning and underfoot comfort.
Abrasive-resistant
The Mammut Mercury Tour II High GTX backpacking boot features an upper made of Terracare nubuck leather. This material is eco-sustainable and grants resistance to abrasive elements.
Waterproof and breathable
A Gore-Tex Performance Comfort membrane embedded into the upper gives both waterproofness and breathability. A rubber rand reinforces the boot’s forefoot section, promoting durability and trail protection.
Secure fit and breathable
This Mammut offering uses a series of metal hooks and D-rings for fit management. Its lacing system is connected to a molded counter at the rearfoot section, granting heel support and security. The upper’s ankle area contains several perforations, which optimize air ventilation.
The collar houses a pull loop, which delivers easy on and off.
Excellent stopping power
- Buyers who value lightness and agility for a single-day trip may want to consider a pair of hiking shoes. One example that may be explored is the Salomon X Ultra 3.
