Garmont’s new 9.81 shoes for fast hikig

Created for dynamic travellers and those who enjoy fast hiking, the new 9.81 Engage employs Garmont’s proprietary ADD® (Anatomical Directed Design) technology, which offers construction asymmetries linked to the anatomy of the foot and specifically positioned to allow the foot to be stable, protected and in comfort throughout the activity. The Garmont proposal for next season features a highly breathable polyester upper reinforced with layers of double thermoplastic material. The 9.81 Engage adopts the innovative G-WRAP system and an elastic tongue in microfibre, giving the shoe improved stability. The insole is Garmont PU with 20% recycled material while the midsole is made of single-density EVA, with 20% material from sugar cane, and an anti-torsion TPU insert. The Vibram® Durmast sole, exclusive to Garmont, has a Megagrip compound that significantly improves grip on the most technical terrain, even when wet.  In addition, the presence of Vibram® Traction Lug technology increases traction by 25%, adds stability and improves grip by 50%.

For those looking for agility on demanding trails alongside protection and stability, Garmont has created the new 9.81 Engage Mid GTX, the slightly elevated ankle-high offering for dynamic travellers and demanding hikers.
