About this product

Some walkers never get on with ankle cuffs, even on rough ground. The Gatesgarth Low keeps the boot's half-length nylon shank and PU midsole, so the sole stays steady on rock steps and loose stone while your ankles move freely.

Under the 2mm nubuck there's a Wayseal membrane, and the flat climbing zone at the toe helps on wet slabs. Expect it to feel firmer underfoot than a trail shoe for the first few walks.

  • Half-length nylon shank and PU midsole, as on the boot
  • 2mm nubuck over a Wayseal membrane
  • Flat climbing zone under the toe for wet slabs
  • Holdfast outsole with 5mm lugs

    Stiff in a good way

    Took them round the Carneddau in September. Much steadier on the rocky bits than my old trail shoes, and dry after a boggy start from Ogwen.
