Rapid XT GTX: The all-around waterproof shoe
Rapid XT GTX is the comfortable leather shoe suitable for approach, trail and light hiking with a clean design. Every detail is studied to ensure grip, comfort and protection such as the all-around TPU rand. The new GORE-TEX ePE guarantees high technical performance with low environmental impact. The sole is Vibram® MegaGrip with climbing zones at the toe and Brake System in the back, ensuring stability and grip. The innovative shape, wide and ergonomic at the toe, is designed to follow the conformation of the foot.
Upper
The clean design leather upper is abrasion resistant thanks to the all-around TPU band and rubber toe cap. The overall construction is a good compromise between protection, comfort and lightweight.
Lining
The Gore-Tex ePE membrane provides excellent performance and sustainability, offering a waterproof, and breathable product. The membrane's optimal strength-to-weight ratio allows it to create extremely lightweight and thin products without compromising durability and high performance. The PFAS-free laminate, including the durable water repellent (DWR) treatment, demonstrates a commitment to responsible chemical management, while also reducing the carbon footprint (per Higg MSI).
Sole
Agility XT is the Vibram MegaGrip sole that combines a climbing zone at the toe and a rear Brake System.A 3D TPU insert in the medial area provides stability and high grip on traverses. The 3.5 mm luges mix sensitivity and durability to satisfy any kind of approach activity.

Vibram® Megagrip
Vibram Megagrip offers grip with excellent properties for dry and wet terrain while maintaining a high level of wear resistance. Designed for those who frequently encounter slippery surfaces.
Ortholite®
Ortholite® foam insoles are lightweight and breathable, and offer integrated moisture management and antimicrobial action.
Gore-Tex®
Gore-Tex® fabrics offer long-lasting, comfortable weather protection. The technology is based on an extremely thin membrane made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). Its pores are too small for rain to penetrate, yet big enough for perspiration to pass right through. Gore-Tex® products have a high waterproof rating (water column) and can withstand up to 28,000 mm of water pressure – more than monsoon rain. The membrane is bonded between an outer fabric and a high-performance lining. Depending on the construction, the result is either a 2-layer, 2.5-layer or 3-layer laminate. Gore-Tex® in a 3-layer construction offers a combination of enhanced durability and high breathability, while the 2-layer laminate provides lightweight weather protection.
