The Reidmar Mid GTX boots weigh only around 640 g per boot, despite their leather construction. They have a medium-length, 8”/20 cm shaft and a standard-width last. The boots feature UTURN wire closures, and are secured with a couple of turns on the button, and loosened by turning the button in the opposite direction. This system is guaranteed, so, in the unlikely event that the wire or reel fail, you can always have them replaced by one of our authorised dealers. The Reidmar Mid GTX boots feature a waterproof GORE-TEX Sierra membrane. During manufacture, all boot membranes are tested in a waterbath, to ensure they are waterproof. We then perform a 30-minute centrifuge test on a 5% sample of total boot production, as a further guarantee that the membrane is of the highest possible quality. The boot’s upper is made from oiled, nubuck leather, and the soles are in semi-stiff Vibram® Campus, which ensures good grip. The boots also feature a shock-absorbing midsole, for long-distance walking comfort even on very rugged ground. They are reinforced with an extra robust material at the toe and heel, where wear is typically the greatest.
