Dolomite Steinbock Hike GTX Boot

A line designed for outdoor activity lovers and for anyone who has an active and respectful relationship with the natural environment. Models suitable for day-long mountain walks on well-marked trails, easy off-trail sections and regular slopes without the dangers of exposed falls. Light, reliable, comfortable products, available in a range of different models and styles to please everyone, but all benefiting from the same Dolomite experience of the mountain environment.

"The lacing system provides the ability for isolated adjustments to be made throughout the length of the boot, right the way down towards the toe, ensuring a good customised fit which I think ought to suit a lot of different-shaped feet"

"Despite river crossings, numerous hours skipping through peat bog hags and snow trekking, the Steinbock Hike GTX have so far kept my tootsies cosy and dry"

"The Steinbock Hike GTX boots exceed their 'light hiking, mountain trails and meadows' brief, and have proven more than adequate for summer scrambling, multi-day backpacking and the rougher sort of Munro bagging too. If you're after a light-but-robust boot for all-round three-season use, this model is well worth considering"
