The MAMMUT Duncan BOA High GTX hiking boot is one of the latest styles from the outdoor brand that's focused on enhanced comfort, protection and agility. The boots are built on the Vibram Flextron outsole using the Mammut Flextron and Georganic 3D technology for enhanced support. A sock-style 3D-knitted textile upper promises to deliver exceptional fit and comfort, and has also been paired with an elastic GORE-TEX membrane and tongue to offer protection from the elements.

The MAMMUT Duncan BOA High GTX hiking boot is paired tip a precision BOA closure system that replaces the brands traditional lacing setup. The boots feature a weight of 1.1464-pounds, which makes them roughly 50% lighter than many of the hightop hiking boots on the market.
