The Vortex GTX is a classic in the SCARPA range, unchanged for many years is testament to it's popularity in the UK
Tough and supportive, with the durability of a boot but the easy walking comfort of a shoe
The most obvious feature of the Vortex is it’s chunky Vibram sole unit, exclusive to this model, designed to give fantastic mechanical grip on loose surfaces and wet, British ground.
The bonded and lasted construction help add to the outright durability and strength, and of course it can be re-soled when the time comes.
The fabric and suede upper works in conjunction with a quick and free running lace system to make the Vortex one of the easiest shoes to get off and on, while still giving a great hold across the foot.
The Gore-Tex membrane ensures the shoe is able to withstand wet conditions

BB Last, this medium to high volume dedicated shoe last offers the instant comfort but affords "real" foot support and hold making these shoes perfect for more technical walking
Suede does not offer the same high level of water resistance as smooth leather, however suede is both lightweight and relatively durable which makes it the ideal choice for lightweight trekking shoes
Suede is more supple than full grain smooth leather but still requires regular care
Take care to re-proof areas where suede joins other materials to ensure that the suede retains maximum flexibility
GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort Footwear is durably waterproof and extremely breathable
Combined with low insulation it ensures optimized climate comfort even in moderate and warmer conditions
For maximum performance all components and the shoe construction itself are tuned precisely to each other and subjected to regular quality inspections
C-Flex Midsole, using nylon for its permanent performance qualities, the comfort flex midsole is moulded so it has minimum flex in the heel section but gives comfortable flex in the forefoot area without twisting
Vibram Dynatech 2 sole unit is very durable but also more aggressive than other shoes in the same category
This Vibram sole unit has deep lugs perfect for gripping on soft, muddier ground or loose rock
