The long-distance shoe designed to adapt to all your training and adventure runs over mud, roots, and rocks. The spacious forefoot and secure midfoot hold deliver comfort and stability, the mud-releasing lug pattern gives you the control to rip and grip across any terrain, and the durable upper and Vibram® Megagrip outsole stand up to unforgiving rock and soft trails.
 With an evolved design fine-tuned for alpine running, the Vertex delivers the confidence and security to push off trail and scramble at speed. The upper – made from 100% recycled PFC-free polyester – is durable and breathable, and an integrated knit collar helps seal out debris.
Support and protection come from mid to forefoot TPU rock plate, 360-degree randing, and a welded support zone on the upper. Vibram® Megagrip, a deep 4mm lug pattern, and friction zone at the forefoot provide confidence and grip on rock and trail.
