Man Shoes KAYLAND Vitrik Mid Gtx Dark Grey-Yellow

Technical approach footwear for rocky terrain

The KAYLAND Vitrik Mid Gtx is engineered for technical approach and intense use on rocky and mixed terrains. Its mid-height profile provides ankle support, while the construction balances impact protection with agility. The compact design is specifically suited for approach climbs and short scrambles where precision is required.

Advanced protection and structural fit

The upper is constructed from a combination of suede and textile, incorporating an ALS heel locking system to prevent slippage. The asymmetrical lacing extends to the toe to allow for a customized, secure fit. Impact resistance is managed through a reinforced toe and heel area, protecting the foot against abrasion on technical routes.

Materials and technical construction

This model utilizes a GORE-TEX Extended Comfort lining to maintain waterproof breathability in varied weather conditions. The internal structure is supported by a MEDIUM moulded polypropylene insole board, paired with a PU open foam footbed for consistent cushioning. The bi-density microporous midsole is designed to dissipate impact forces during movement on uneven surfaces.

Outsole performance and stability

The footwear is equipped with a Vibram Gravity Full Megagrip outsole, providing high-friction contact on rock. This specific compound is selected for its grip capabilities on varied rocky surfaces, ensuring stability during technical approaches. The overall build maintains a weight of 460 g per half pair, balancing durability with the need for a lightweight profile.

Recommended use

The KAYLAND Vitrik Mid Gtx is ideal for technical approach, via ferratas, and short climbing approaches. It is designed for users requiring a stable, wrapping boot that performs reliably on mixed rocky terrain and demanding mountain paths.
