  • Item #GAR003E
  • The iconic garment woman’s dragon tail. Lt gore-tex approach shoes are ready for. Whatever you have in store they’re versatile enough for hiking, but they perform really well when scrambling on. Rocks to approach your climb let’s start. With the bottom the point of contact with the ground garma created a shoe that will work well. On technical rock mixed terrain approaches scrambling and even light. Hiking so the outsole is really meant to. Do it all it’s made of tried-and-true vibram it’s thinki enough for rock but. It’s durable enough for long miles so it won’t break down as quickly as some. Other types of softer sticky rubber that. You might find on approach shoes or even climbing shoes back here you’ve got a. Blocked heel strike area and the same. Blocking on the medial forefoot that’s. For edging so all the while they give you a lug pattern in between that’s perfect for hiking on those dirt trails. You’re sure to encounter some rocks and. Some loose gravel so these lugs are. Going to keep you on the trail and make sure that you’re sure-footed you can see three different colors in the mid sole. Grey yellow and red and that’s not just. For look the grey part is a medium. Density so that gives cushioning and comfort and you can see it goes all the way around to the other side now the yellow part in the back is firmer so. That gives more stability where you need it in the heel and then the red part up front is densest and the most. Durable this is kind of what i call the. Climbing zone of the shoe and you’re going to want densest material up. There mixed with what you have on the. Outsold the red dense part of the. Midsole really gives support you don’t. Want your toes to flex too much and. That’s going to give all the support you need for edging as you approach your climb on top of all of that you do have. A soft footbed it’s removable. Just take it out here and show it. Definitely provides a lot of cushioning there’s denser material here than. I’ve seen on some other removable. Footed and i think what they tried to do is give a nice soft place for your feet to land be kind of you have such a. Rigid mid sole on those long miles those. Heights this is going to keep you a little bit more comfortable the climbing. Style lacing is great for dialing in the. Tightness you prefer over different parts of your approach so leave them a little bit looser when you start hiking. But then when the hike starts to get more technical you can adjust those laces all the way down to the toes you. Can see the laces are kind of asymmetrical here and garmin actually built this entire shoe to mimic the. Natural asymmetry of your foot it’s. Called they’re anatomically directed design or abd this really cuts down on. Open space in the shoe that could lead to rubbing or blisters that mixed with. The lacing and this heel lock in the. Back will actually ensure a really good snug fit all day long also so wrap. Around so rand here in the front reduces the impact of kick rocks and roots and. Really protects those toes this is a gore-tex shoe as the name suggests so. It’s going to keep out water so long as. That water doesn’t come up over the top of the shoe the outsole in general is. Constructed of a few different materials but overall it’s a really durable suede. That suede is going to last a long time. When you’re encountering sharp rocks going to show some wear and tear and. That’s why they’re using such a durable material they’ve got overlays here but. Then they have some other kind of textile materials synthetic materials. Around the heel that you can really snug in and then again you have that rand because all the way around so that protects the suede even more and you’ve. Got the same material in the back overall the fit is pretty narrow these. Are approach shoes climbing style shoes. So they do want to give you a nice snug fit especially up here in the toe box. Again you can adjust the lacing for more. Comfort but if you’re not used to approach style or climbing style shoes if you’re just used to hiking shoes they’re going to seem pretty narrow but. They’re kind of meant to do that they’re meant to be able to snug down and give you a tight fit all throughout the shoe with the features here you’re getting a. Durable reliable shoe for all different. Types of turing’s there’s a garment women dragon tail lp gore-tex shoes. Thanks for watching if you have.

A well-balanced shoe for the person who wants to go for a light day hike but might end up scrambling on some fourth class rock they’ve got a sleek technical. Look and many features that make them perform well across the board for anything short of heavy-duty backpacking. The (upper) of this shoe is built with a.

Is waterproof and breathable under those. Exterior leather fabrics for lacing. Climbers like to have the ability to really dial in the fit all the way down to the toes these laces reflect that perfectly with garment but where you’ll. Have what they call their anatomically directed design this means that the shoes are created to mimic the foots natural asymmetry which in turn reduces. The overall chance of blisters or hot spots you’ll need to make sure you’ve got the right socks on for that to really work out though in the middle of the shoe again unseen is the frame flex. Light insole this is going to provide. Extra stability in the shoe for edging as well as carrying gear on rough trails. And descents visible is the tri micro. Porous rubber mid sole this actually has three different densities to ensure. Comfort and performance you can see two of those gray is the medium density and. Yellow is the firm density there’s as well. A very firm density and therefore lowest compression and climbing performance basically you’ll get stiffer materials. As you approach the front of the shoe to increase that climbing performance of the footwear, but they stay nice and soft. In the heel area for hiking in and out the outsole is a vibram q 811 outsoles. The semi block heel area gives you more durability and a semi blocked medium. Forefoot area enhances edging performance the compound on these are built to increase stickiness and. Durability over all the grandmont men’s. Dragon tail lt gtx is the perfect shoe for the hiker. Climber or someone who wants a lightweight shoe that does it all waterproof grippy and very rugged thanks.

Then the shoe itself my feet suffered quite a busy and just when i thought it was paying off the paper like mid sole started peeling away i thought removing the bottom part of the insole would help but my feet were exhausted and achy after weeks of trying to stretch the shoe and i was forced to find the most minimalist insole i could find after trial and error see i went.

    Hi katie here is get out their magazine. This is my review of the arc’teryx conseal fl approach shoe the conseils. Have lots of great features my top three. Would definitely be vibram soles nice. Long lacing so you can get just the. Right tension and to grab loops to help. You really get your foot in there the. Con seals are super awesome they’re really grippy issues are great they’ll. Totally get you to the top or the bottom of your climbing area I’ve been rock hopping climbing and even. Hiking in these shoes and overall. They’re really awesome shoes they’re. Lightweight they’re super grippy, and they’re you know decently comfortable on your foot you’re nice and lined on the inside for me i. Find these shoes fit really narrow so. They are they’re cut pretty. Narrow and i have a very wide foot so i. Am I finding them to be a little bit pinchy right here at the widest point. And i also found the sizing to be like. Totally out of whack with most other shoe companies for example i usually wear a 39 and that would equate too about. An eighth or an eight and a half these are a seven and a half us, but they are a. 39 and a third european so i got the 39. 1/3 thinking that would fit me i usually wear a 39 and i don’t mind having a little extra room for my toes but my big toe on my big foot only comes. Up to right here so I’m not really. Getting to take advantage of the little rubbery end of the toe and when i. Have been climbing in them they my feet. To sort of slide forward and backward a little bit i also found the back gave me. A fair bit of pressure when i was taking in them it’s not really their intended use so do. Take that with a grain of salt also i think there’s extra pressure because the soul is quite stiff and it’s intended. To be that way of course so that you can edge and smear and you know really make. The most out of these shoes. Did i say yet that i love the color is awesome it’s like great teal color goes with lots of things it’s really subtle so I’m a really big fan, and they’re just really like sleek and sexy looking so i have no. Complaint about shoe oh that it just. Doesn’t quite fit my foot so that’s all. Right there’s lots of brands and styles out there so these shoes are awesome and. If they fit your feet you’re probably gonna love them forget out their magazine I’m katie and that was my review of the arc’teryx concealed approach shoes for more info about these.

Said latest and greatest an outdoor gear and i kind of always think that some of. The staples tent backpacks hiking boots. Yeah or making shoes yeah we’re looking. At one of those today yeah we’ve looked at a lot of hiking boots in the past and you know a few months ago we were looking at our calendar come on boo it said let’s try and take a look at some more shoes so you’re going to see some more hiking shoe episodes coming up. Because we know a lot of people hiking backpack and shoes and don’t wear boots, and so we said you know what let’s look at some good shoes out there and the. Vast jux j u xt this is the men’s just. Hiking shoe is not only good for hiking. But it’s just good for kind of all-around stuff right very attractive good-looking shoe the awesome I’ve been. Wearing it to the gym going around town going to bars passing out in alleys as well. Hiking and backpacking okay use it for a good amount of that and i found it to. Work very well i did some you know minor. Rock climbing type stuff with it you know just kind of like scaling up racks and stuff and huge boulders i don’t you call that bouldering maybe you do i don’t know if that really they don’t add that to my list of experience when you go to the bouldering alley yeah they’re exactly right yeah so i found it in. Those situations that the traction the grip on these was suitable up to the. Task liked it i find the shoes to fit my. Feet well they’ve got a rather high arching them i have high arch so if. Your somebody with a little bit of a higher arch this is probably a good shoot for you if your somebody with flat duck feet you know probably not the. Shoe for you right because this thing features there arc tempo last we’ve. Talked about this before we’ve looked at a lot of bass shoes in the past then and i really the vast brand yeah we really like there. Boots the taco gtx the will such very. Nice boots yep yeah ben’s been supporting them for years and years on my favorite food companies yeah, and they’re there arc tempo last is the last. That they used in a lot of their shoes and boots which promotes quickness and agility over technical ground which is. Great for this shoe because i would i think the right classification for. This is kind of like a light hiker right agree for quick hikes on somewhat. Technical trails which is exactly what i used it for and found it to work. Perfectly for my uses what i like when. It’s in warmer weather yeah more climates you know i don’t want a huge boobed about halfway up my leg i want something that’s more of a lower profile yeah and you know because in again to it. Also depends on you say like hiker rad you’re also thinking about the amount of weight that york area you know if you’re not caring you know everything including the kitchen sink there’s no need to have some massive boot that you can use to like knock over a wall with right want some through you can almost i mean you could almost take these out to go jogging you know yeah same time yeah no doubt about guys like football in the park with them or something i know that’s right good buddy yeah that’s right so a couple other things about the last that our tempo last again really made for you know an athletic fit for. Shorter distance lightweight technical trails that kind of stuff a symmetrical. Curve which i said great for high arches okay and as we talked about in previous. Episodes places your foot in a more. Powerful position during total are. Usually when I’m having a lot more aggressive hiking on technical trails that’s really a good feature to have. Tapered toe box gives you a lot of room which is you know which is absolutely. True my feet never think they’re all cramped up in half do you see what I’m doing over your get spinning it around but quick do you see it’s like it’s getting every angle 10 of the shoe so. That everybody I’m just saying good doing my part / he really good really good yep so it’s like i. Said got good traction on the bottom it. Features the off-the-grid outsole right. A special vast outsole and yeah durable. Grippy sticky that’s what they say good stuff during p you played in the mid-foot protects from protrusions uneven terrain without adding. Unnecessary weight and with some of the. Terrain i was hiking on it i was dealing. With rach protrusions on the trail right and there’s there was very little even. Ground to walk on it was constantly on rocks you know that feeling when you’re walking on rocks and you’re always like looking for a flat wrap the strap on and. Then sometimes just because you’re moving fast on the trail you end up. Having to step on one that’s just like jutting out of the ground like a freaking knife and it’s true that. The construction of the shoe kind of. Softens the blow of those intruding well it seems like the soul the whole shoes like squishy in the sense that they have some rubber padding yeah hits it’s. Nice you know instead of it being solid yeah just like jarring the pressure up three out of legs yeah so it’s got really good flexibility as you can see which will go a long way towards you. No fast technical trails alright and. Some other stuff about it’s got a. Suede and polyurethane coated leather upper right very nice attractive very. Nice looking shoes is it waterproof you probably know it’s not it’s not not no so there’s no cortex or any of it owe you. Know what it says waterproof on the thing here yeah okay i don’t know why i didn’t i don’t have it in my notes though because they had another there. Was a separate there was a just something or another that was discontinued at some point that was with. Gore-tex but obviously this says waterproof so i guess it is i didn’t really test it for that purpose though interesting thing about that though is that I’ve never found my feet to be you. No getting sweaty i found these to be fairly breathable while i was using them. Was working up a good sweat you know a lot of times with water for boots sometimes people say that you know they find them to be not the most breathable. For obvious reasons and i didn’t have that problem with these they worked very well so it’s got a molded rubber toe cap. Here right so it’s going to last longer time isn’t banging up against them you know the shoes not going to fall apart at the toe cap dual-density ev a footbed. Molded ev a mid sole with tpu plate wow. There you go so lots of good stuff here. If you’re looking for a nice light hiker. That maybe you want to bum around town into and very attractive-looking i would. Think this is one to look into right so go to your local store try it on see if. It makes sense for you this cost ninety dollars I’m drawn to the attractiveness of the ship i like it too it looks like it looks like a cross-trainer sneaker romo yeah and the color the it’s. Like you know this set of gray’s with. These green highlights yeah it’s just. Really nice looking shoe it looks like something that when i see it on the stand i have to have it no it’s very. Nice shoe for sure go to best come to check out more about it can’t go wrong.

  • Strong suede upper with rubber toe rand for amped durability
  • FrameFlex Light insole ensures stable support
  • Vibram rubber sole with semi-blocked sections for rock protection
  • Item #GAR003F
  • The iconic garment woman’s dragon tail. Lt gore-tex approach shoes are ready for. Whatever you have in store they’re versatile enough for hiking, but they perform really well when scrambling on. Rocks to approach your climb let’s start. With the bottom the point of contact with the ground garma created a shoe that will work well. On technical rock mixed terrain approaches scrambling and even light. Hiking so the outsole is really meant to. Do it all it’s made of tried-and-true vibram it’s thinki enough for rock but. It’s durable enough for long miles so it won’t break down as quickly as some. Other types of softer sticky rubber that. You might find on approach shoes or even climbing shoes back here you’ve got a. Blocked heel strike area and the same. Blocking on the medial forefoot that’s. For edging so all the while they give you a lug pattern in between that’s perfect for hiking on those dirt trails. You’re sure to encounter some rocks and. Some loose gravel so these lugs are. Going to keep you on the trail and make sure that you’re sure-footed you can see three different colors in the mid sole. Grey yellow and red and that’s not just. For look the grey part is a medium. Density so that gives cushioning and comfort and you can see it goes all the way around to the other side now the yellow part in the back is firmer so. That gives more stability where you need it in the heel and then the red part up front is densest and the most. Durable this is kind of what i call the. Climbing zone of the shoe and you’re going to want densest material up. There mixed with what you have on the. Outsold the red dense part of the. Midsole really gives support you don’t. Want your toes to flex too much and. That’s going to give all the support you need for edging as you approach your climb on top of all of that you do have. A soft footbed it’s removable. Just take it out here and show it. Definitely provides a lot of cushioning there’s denser material here than. I’ve seen on some other removable. Footed and i think what they tried to do is give a nice soft place for your feet to land be kind of you have such a. Rigid mid sole on those long miles those. Heights this is going to keep you a little bit more comfortable the climbing. Style lacing is great for dialing in the. Tightness you prefer over different parts of your approach so leave them a little bit looser when you start hiking. But then when the hike starts to get more technical you can adjust those laces all the way down to the toes you. Can see the laces are kind of asymmetrical here and garmin actually built this entire shoe to mimic the. Natural asymmetry of your foot it’s. Called they’re anatomically directed design or abd this really cuts down on. Open space in the shoe that could lead to rubbing or blisters that mixed with. The lacing and this heel lock in the. Back will actually ensure a really good snug fit all day long also so wrap. Around so rand here in the front reduces the impact of kick rocks and roots and. Really protects those toes this is a gore-tex shoe as the name suggests so. It’s going to keep out water so long as. That water doesn’t come up over the top of the shoe the outsole in general is. Constructed of a few different materials but overall it’s a really durable suede. That suede is going to last a long time. When you’re encountering sharp rocks going to show some wear and tear and. That’s why they’re using such a durable material they’ve got overlays here but. Then they have some other kind of textile materials synthetic materials. Around the heel that you can really snug in and then again you have that rand because all the way around so that protects the suede even more and you’ve. Got the same material in the back overall the fit is pretty narrow these. Are approach shoes climbing style shoes. So they do want to give you a nice snug fit especially up here in the toe box. Again you can adjust the lacing for more. Comfort but if you’re not used to approach style or climbing style shoes if you’re just used to hiking shoes they’re going to seem pretty narrow but. They’re kind of meant to do that they’re meant to be able to snug down and give you a tight fit all throughout the shoe with the features here you’re getting a. Durable reliable shoe for all different. Types of turing’s there’s a garment women dragon tail lp gore-tex shoes. Thanks for watching if you have.

    The garment men’s dragon tail lt gtx is. A well-balanced shoe for the person who wants to go for a light day hike but might end up scrambling on some fourth class rock they’ve got a sleek technical. Look and many features that make them perform well across the board for anything short of heavy-duty backpacking. The (upper) of this shoe is built with a. Suede leather it gives them a sleek technical look it definitely doesn’t. Look like your everyday casual shoe so if you end up wearing these downtown you will look like you like to do things outside inside unseen is a gore-tex. Extended comfort lining the entire shoe. Is waterproof and breathable under those. Exterior leather fabrics for lacing. Climbers like to have the ability to really dial in the fit all the way down to the toes these laces reflect that perfectly with garment but where you’ll. Have what they call their anatomically directed design this means that the shoes are created to mimic the foots natural asymmetry which in turn reduces. The overall chance of blisters or hot spots you’ll need to make sure you’ve got the right socks on for that to really work out though in the middle of the shoe again unseen is the frame flex. Light insole this is going to provide. Extra stability in the shoe for edging as well as carrying gear on rough trails. And descents visible is the tri micro. Porous rubber mid sole this actually has three different densities to ensure. Comfort and performance you can see two of those gray is the medium density and. Yellow is the firm density there’s as well. A very firm density and therefore lowest compression and climbing performance basically you’ll get stiffer materials. As you approach the front of the shoe to increase that climbing performance of the footwear, but they stay nice and soft. In the heel area for hiking in and out the outsole is a vibram q 811 outsoles. The semi block heel area gives you more durability and a semi blocked medium. Forefoot area enhances edging performance the compound on these are built to increase stickiness and. Durability over all the grandmont men’s. Dragon tail lt gtx is the perfect shoe for the hiker. Climber or someone who wants a lightweight shoe that does it all waterproof grippy and very rugged thanks.

    hey it’s andrew with audra gear tv today. We’re doing a gear review of the garment dragon tail mountain gore-tex let’s go over some of the features and then I’ll talk about performance after that starting from the ground up the dragon tail has a vibram outsole with 6 millimeter deep lugs and an edging platform on the front and back the mid sole has a dual density rubber mid sole a pu heel insert and a removable. Insole the upper is made of 1.8. Millimeter water repellent suede and has a rubber randor on the front and back and laces that go all the way down to the toes for added stability the dragon tail mountain gore-tex boot weighs in at one pound of 4.7 ounces per shoe if. You’re looking for something lightweight and agile these are probably not for you think of these as a solid pair of mountaineering boots just trim down to ankle height that definitely comes with some pros and cons these have really great rock protection incredible durability, and they scramble really well. Their only downfall just like all mountaineering boots is that the break-in time is pretty rough i would give it about 75 miles before they get really comfortable but once that break-in period is passed you’ll be reaching for these just about every day they’ve performed really well for me i would highly recommend them head on over to our website for my full written review thanks for watching it’s been andrew with outdoor gear tv get your gear and get outside.
