Just one last steep section, and you’ll be out of the forest on the path to the summit. Tough hikes are easier when you’re wearing the FORCE STRIKER TEXAPORE LOW. The unique sole design provides excellent support for the foot.
The innovative FORCE PLATE in the forefoot delivers enhanced stability, optimal guidance and protection from sharp stones. This makes the shoe extremely comfortable to walk in, even on difficult terrain. The shoe has a soft REFLEX FOAM component in the midsole for superior cushioning and less effort when walking, so you can take tough day hikes in your stride.
The VIBRAM outsole delivers good grip on steep, stony terrain. And if you get caught in a shower or have to splash through a shallow mountain stream, the waterproof and very breathable TEXAPORE O2+ membrane will keep your feet dry.
The FORCE STRIKER TEXAPORE was developed in collaboration with the mountain guides at the Alpine School Innsbruck, and it bears the ASI seal of approval.
Technologies:
Texapore O2+ (Waterproof membrane)
Our TEXAPORE technology is the functional core in our waterproof shoes. The shoes have a completely waterproof inner shoe enclosing the foot with our TEXAPORE membrane.
The advantages for the feet are obvious and may be clear: with rain or puddles of water, hiking and trekking shoes with TEXAPORE O2+ membrane are no problem at all. The good breathability of 6,700 g / 2 / 24h* also keeps feet dry and is therefore approximately twice as breathable as the TEXAPORE base membrane for shoes. With a water column of 10,000 mm**, TEXAPORE O2+ offers effective weather protection.

Activity index: A/B
The question always crops up during outdoor activities: what shoe construction is the best one for my particular activity? Each sole has its benefits, and it basically depends on the intended use.
A/B = Long day hikes or trips lasting several days in subalpine regions and routes up until the tree line.
