Dragontail Approach Shoe

Dragontail Approach Shoe by Garmont

Giving you quality active footwear is what Garmont is all about. In continuing in the company’s long standing tradition of creating durable and comfortable hiking shoes, the latest addition of the Dragontail Approach leaves nothing to the imagination. To up the ante, this pair of ultra rugged active shoes has invited both design and technology to the party! With a great rust/gray color and a low profile, these puppies can actually be worn for the look when on the streets, and for their tough stuff guts when on the trail. Garmont’s “Vibram friction outsole” will easily give you the required grip necessary to tackle any semi technical trail, while the 3 layers of partially porous rubber helps to maintain stability and support to the arch of your foot. The tri-fecta of this shoe is in the Dragontail Approach’s toe protection, as it uses almost a 2mm thick suede upper with Garmont QDS (quick dry synthetic) lining. This will ensure that toe stubbing and curling is virtually eliminated, not to mention wet feet will be a thing of the past. A great gift idea for the Dad who likes to be active and look good doing it, the Dragontail Approach Shoe will be a real treat for Father’s Day.
