Scarpa Golden Gate 2 ATR Men's Trail Running Shoes
The Golden Gate 2 ATR is an extremely versatile home-to-trail multi-terrain shoe, designed and built for medium to long distances.
Synthetic Mesh Upper
The upper of the Golden Gate 2 ATR has been created with a synthetic mesh upper. Compared to the previous model, this is now more durable and breathable. The upper allows air to flow through the shoes whilst releasing built-up heat, keeping your feet cool and comfortable throughout your run. Not only this, but the upper works to protect itself from bumps and scrapes, keeping it in top condition for longer, increasing the life of the shoe. Scarpa has included its EXO technology within the upper; this is lateral protection (inserts or thermo-welded cage) combined with the upper, creating an exoskeleton that better protects, supports and contains the foot. The exoskeleton and upper combination provide a shoe with increased support and stability. The tongue has been constructed using a single piece of elastic fabric which wraps around your feet, offering a snug feel and lateral stability. Completing the upper is a traditional lacing system that locks down the midfoot and reduces in-shoe movement for distraction-free strides.
Bounce Foam Midsole
The shoe midsole uses Bounce Foam, which provides a more progressive and elastic response during your stride. This provides energetic rebounds, the foam compresses with each step and bounces back into its original shape, using the energy from your last step to power you into your next one. Not only does this help increase your speed, but it also provides protection. The foam dampens shocks, protecting joints and muscles from stress and damage. By doing so, the risk of injury is reduced, so you can go further than before in complete comfort.
PRESA TRN-07 Sole with I-Respond
A PRESA TRN-07 Sole has been added to the shoe. This is made using the perfect blend of durability and grip for on and off-road adventures. This means you get great traction on multiple terrains, so you can use one shoe for all your running. The Sole incorporates Scarpa's ACS (Active Cushioning System), delivering improved comfort underfoot, and an I-Respond sole with precise foot geometry helps enhance your running gait and produces a greater energy return. Thanks to the combination of traction and cushioning, the Scarpa Golden Gate 2 is the ideal on/off-road running shoe, suited perfectly to both.
