Discover the pinnacle of approach footwear with the GARMONT Dragontail MNT EVO GORE-TEX®, the definitive choice for the serious mountaineer, alpinist, and technical hiker. Engineered for those who demand uncompromising stability, grip, and durability, this shoe stands as a benchmark in its class—a climbing-inspired style that is number 1 in our Approach line. It is meticulously designed for navigating challenging scrambles, technical rock routes, bouldering, and demanding treks where precision is paramount.
Built to withstand the harshest alpine environments, the Dragontail MNT EVO features a robust 1.6-1.8 mm SUEDE LEATHER UPPER, offering an exceptional balance of resilience and adaptive comfort. This is reinforced by a PROTECTIVE RUBBER RAND with a distinctive design that wraps around the shoe´s perimeter, providing superior abrasion resistance against sharp rocks and scree while enhancing overall structural integrity. The design prioritizes both protection and climbing capability, giving you the confidence to push your limits.
Achieve a custom, locked-in fit essential for technical footwork thanks to the LACE TO TOE CLOSURE. This climbing-derived system allows for precise adjustments along the entire length of the shoe, ensuring your foot is secure for better climbing performance and edging power. This is complemented by Garmont’s proprietary HEEL LOCK SYSTEM, an innovative design that cradles the heel to effectively prevent heel slip and blisters, even during long descents or on uneven terrain. This ensures your focus remains on the path ahead, not on foot discomfort.
Unpredictable mountain weather is no match for the integrated GORE-TEX® EXTENDED COMFORT MEMBRANE. This premium, Bluesign® certified lining delivers fully waterproof protection while maintaining outstanding breathability, allowing moisture vapour to escape so your feet stay dry and comfortable from the inside out. Whether you´re crossing streams or caught in a downpour, your performance will remain unhindered. Underfoot, a stiff and supportive platform provides the stability needed for carrying a pack, while the integrated HEEL INSERT further enhances stability and durability for long-lasting performance on rugged ground.
The shoe’s foundation is the high-performance Vibram® Maton outsole, featuring a semi-blocked lug design with a dedicated climbing zone at the toe for exceptional grip on rock slabs and precise edging. The multi-traction lugs ensure reliable purchase on a variety of surfaces, from loose dirt to wet grass, making the Dragontail MNT EVO a truly versatile tool for any mountain adventure.
