VETTA SYNTH GTX®

The grip on wet rock during my via ferrata climb was surprisingly solid—I never once felt my foot slip. And after a full day on mixed terrain, my ankles still felt well-supported.

The synthetic upper barely scuffed after a weekend of mixed rock and dirt, which surprised me since my old leather boots looked wrecked by day two. Grip on the scrambly bits felt solid and they stayed stiff enough for edging without killing my feet on the descent.

Took these on a via ferrata route with a lot of wet rock and the grip never slipped once. The synthetic build is stiff enough for edging on small holds but didn't need much break-in.
