Forge 2.0 GTX WS

ALL DAY COMFORT: To provide comfort all day long, the Makalu 85 benefits from Tecnica's exclusive AST - Adaptive Shape Technology, which includes designing the shoe around an anatomical and activity-specific last. So, the shoe fits like a glove holding the forefoot and heel firmly in place during on-trail trekking and in technical terrain.

TIMELESS DESIGN: In 1985, Tecnica launched the first version of the Makalu. The Makalu 85 is the latest evolution of a timeless design that embodies 40 years of Tecnica's leadership in mountain technical footwear. The sophisticated colour palette combines a retro mood with contemporary taste.

MOUNTAIN DNA: The Makalu 85 stays true to its mountain heritage. It is designed to cope with technical terrains and has a Vibram®️ outsole featuring the durable XS Trek compound. To keep the feet fresh and dry in all weather conditions, the Makalu 85 benefits from the Gore-Tex® lining with a breathable and waterproof membrane.

GORE-TEX® EXTENDED COMFORT LINING: The Gore-Tex® Extended Comfort membrane delivers durable waterproof and breathable weather protection to ensure that your feet stay dry and comfortable all day long and all year round.

VIBRAM® XS TREK EVO™ SOLE: The XS Trek EVO™ outsole is a complex adaptive design developed together with our partner Vibram®. The sole features four different areas with specific functionalities. Outer lugs are responsible for ground adaptability and stability in varied mountain terrain. Inner lugs deliver multidirectional traction while the front semi-climbing zone area offers increased technical approach performance. Finally, the self-cleaning channels keep the sole free from debris and mud.
