Zamberlan 130 CROSSER GORE-TEX RR Women's Trail Walking Shoes
Zamberlan's 130 GTX RR is perfect for those excursions when you want a light and responsive boot, but need stability and protection. Don't be fooled by the super lightweight construction, this boot is 100% technical and 100% Zamberlan to its sole. It is an excellent lightweight-supportive backpacking and hiking boot for on and off trail use.
Gore-Tex Upper
The upper of the Zamberlan 130 Crosser Trail Walking Shoe is constructed with a Gore-Tex membrane which provides long-lasting, comfortable weather protection. The microscopic pores of the membrane are 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet, which means that no rain can penetrate it, This is what makes the Gore-Tex membrane waterproof. Additionally, the membrane provides breathability, as the pores are 700 times larger than a water vapour which means perspiration passes right through.
The upper is also fitted with Cordura nylon fabric, backed up with Kevlar and Micro-Injection TPU reinforcements which mean the shoe stands up well to rocky terrain and doesn't wear easily making it ideal for approach walks to climbs or scrambling. With a full-length lacing system, it pulls the midfoot in and holds in firmly, giving the wearer a snug fit. Lastly, the upper is equipped with a strong heel counter which holds the heel firmly to prevent unwanted up and down movement, while a wide toebox allows the feet to move freely.
Z-Absorb Midsole
Constructed with a five-piece, dual-density compressed moulded EVA midsole which offers excellent underfoot protection and cushioning. The first midsole sectioning consists of a dense EVA compound that extends the full forefoot, providing tough impact resistance, reducing pressure forced upon the foot. While the second midsole section provides Z-Absorb technology with Modular Flex engineering, which takes your full body weight and transfers it through the midsole to propulsive transferring energy. This coincides with an integrated Modular Flex GT shank, this midsole plastic support leads over the midsole section and towards the midfoot arch for anti-torsional stiffness and additional shock absorption.
Vibram Outsole
The Zamberlan 130 Crosser GTX is merged with a Vibram Speed Hiking outsole, this versatile compound delivers reliable traction on a variety of uneven surfaces, with a strategically placed guidance line that promotes a natural positioning of the foot when in contact with the ground.
