Get ready to power through uphills and descents with this mid-cut GORE-TEX version of the updated X-ULTRA 4. It is as agile as a trail-running shoe but with all the stability, grip and waterproof protection you need to tackle technical terrain. Equipped with a new chassis, the shoe is even better at protecting sensitive articulations without compromising freedom of movement.
Benefits:
Trail-inspired agility:
- Drawing on our trail-running expertise, this shoe is lighter and more agile, so you stay nimble on uneven terrain.
Enhanced stability:
- The new ADV-C Chassis targets articulations on the outer foot to optimize stability without limiting your mobility, while the higher cut provides extra ankle support.
All-terrain grip:
- The Contagrip® MA outsole grabs the terrain, even when it’s wet or slippery, giving you more control especially on descents.
Features:
Contagrip® MA:
- Contagrip® MA is built for the widest variety of surfaces. It balances both the geometry and the rubber compound to deliver confidence on wet, dry, hard or loose surfaces, and offer long-term durability.
ADV-C Chassis:
- Keeping outer ankle articulations safe and protected, this chassis brings extra stability while leaving the front of the shoe soft and flexible to move freely with a fluid stride.
Active Support:
- These mobile wings help hold the foot in place and accompany its movement, adapting to its shape and volume.
Chevron lugs:
- Lug design with deep penetration and multi-directional grip, improving traction on soft surfaces like mud or loose dirt.
EnergyCell:
- A high performance EVA foam that provides shock attenuation.
PU coated leather:
- A polyurethane coated leather that protects it and makes it stronger to last longer.
Water Repellent:
- A special treatment is applied to provide extra protection, ensuring that the fabric does not absorb water during light rain and showers.
Mesh and textile lining:
- A soft, breathable lining for extreme comfort.
Gusseted tongue:
- The tongue is connected to the upper on both sides, preventing debris from entering the shoe, and keeping the tongue centered.
SensiFit™:
- SensiFit™ cradles the foot from the midsole to the lacing system, providing a secure, snug, and virtually customized fit all around the foot.
Protective mudguard:
- A wrap of leather, synthetic or rubber around the base of the foot that protects the lateral and medial sides of the foot.
Molded OrthoLite® sockliner:
- Molded to match the contours of your foot, this OrthoLite® insole provides superior cushioning, as well as breathability and durability, to upgrade the comfort and performance of our footwear.
Regular laces:
- Traditional lacing system with eyelets.
GORE-TEX:
- GORE-TEX keeps your feet dry -from the outside as well as from the inside.
PFC free:
