Good to know

Weighing approximately 850 g per pair, these shoes are built for durability and protection rather than ultralight racing. The GORE-TEX Extended Comfort membrane is optimized for moderate to high activity levels, making it ideal for fast-paced approaches even in warmer conditions. The TNF Black / TNF Black colourway is understated and versatile, pairing easily with any outdoor kit.
