Technical GORE-TEX approach shoe balancing stability and grip with a light, fast design. The Vertex Alpine GTX is a complete rethinking of the approach shoe.

A full GORE-TEX liner seals out wet and snow, and the sticky Vibram XS Flash 2 outsole is designed for edging, on-trail performance, and grip in wet and dry conditions.
