Light, agile, precise, and extremely comfortable. The Men's Croda DFS - GTX is a mountaineering boot ideal for challenging climbing and expeditions in mixed environments with rock and glacial snow.

The Vibram Croda Litebase sole offers stability, grip, and precision even in the most technical situations. The Croda is compatible with traditional or semi-automatic crampons making this the perfect boot for light and fast climbs on mountains like Rainer or the Grand Tetons.
