Key Features Explained
The upper combines mesh with welded reinforcements, while synthetic protective overlays are specified for dirty and rough conditions. The toe cap and rubber heel add protective elements at those parts of the shoe. The source also describes the GORE-TEX 3L membrane as waterproof and breathable; no separate protection rating is given here.
The outsole’s 5 mm lugs and distinct toe and heel zones are useful details to compare if the intended terrain makes outsole design important. They do not establish grip on every surface.
What to Compare Before Buying
- Size: Confirm that UK 8 is the required size and check fit using guidance for this exact model if available.
- Terrain and protection: Consider whether the specified SKYCORE rock protection, toe cap and heel protection match the conditions in which the shoes will be used.
- Outsole design: Compare the 5 mm lugs and toe and heel zones with the demands of the intended terrain.
Before You Decide
Check the model code, black colour and UK 8 size, then consider the membrane, protective features and outsole details against your fit and terrain requirements.
