From short hikes to multi-day tours, this shoe keeps all options open. A staple in our hiking lineup, the latest iteration of the Ducan goes further than ever before.

The Vibram outsole delivers reliable grip, while the proven GORE-TEX membrane protects your feet in wet conditions. The Ducan II has been meticulously designed to work with the natural anatomy of the foot for the most comfortable, precise fit. With a fresh design, cutting edge features and proven alpine performance, the Ducan is a classic for all the right reasons.

Features:

- Elastic GORE-TEX tongue construction
- Double layer engineered mesh
- Vibram sole

Waterproofing:
- In the rain, snow, or on that one muddy section of trail, you want your feet to stay dry. Waterproof shoes use special materials and technologies according to their intended use, which prevent moisture from penetrating, while your shoe remains breathable.

Flexibility vs. stiffness:
- Different types of terrain and activities require less or more flexibility from your shoe. A flexible shoe is perfect for easy terrain, supports your natural rolling motion and adapts to uneven surfaces. A stiffer shoe provides your feet and ankles with more surefootedness and precision in challenging terrain and is compatible with crampons.

Protection:
- To protect your feet from rough rocks, roots or boulders, our shoes are equipped with special protective elements on the toes, heel or sides. In demanding terrain with boulders or on long hikes with heavy loads, more protection is advisable.

Lightweight:
- We design every shoe with performance in mind. That´s why weight, in combination with functionality, always plays a major role. The lighter the shoe, the more agile and faster you can move. The more durable the shoe, the more protection and stability it offers.

Grip:
- Shoes with good grip do not slip, even in wet conditions. They offer grip, adhesion and traction on different surfaces. The grip is influenced by the rubber blend, sole structure and tread depth - on firm trails a low profile tread is suitable, on mixed or challenging terrain you are best advised to go for a deep sole tread.

Cushioning:
- Cushioning indicates how well a midsole absorbs shock. More cushioning reduces stress on joints and muscles and increases comfort. Less cushioning allows for more direct contact with the ground, and therefore faster and more accurate reactions.
