Tecnica Forge TRK GTX MS trekking shoes

The Forge Trk is a modern interpretation of the timeless leather trekking boot. Designed to provide all-day comfort, versatility and stable support on technical terrain during long journeys through the mountains. The Forge Trk features Tecnica's exclusive AST technology for a perfect fit and is equipped with premium materials and technologies by Ortholite®, Gore-Tex® and Vibram®. These shoes are resoleable in collaboration with the Vibram Repair If You Care project.

By combining adaptive memory foams with pre-shaped thermoplastic inserts and a premolded footbed, the AST - Adaptive Shape Technology adapts the Forge to the shape of each foot. Designed around an anatomical last, the Forge holds the forefoot and heel firmly in place to provide all-day comfort during long treks on technical terrain.

The Forge is equipped with a Vibram® XS Trek Evo™ sole designed to adapt to a wide range of wet and dry surfaces. Outer lugs provide ground adaptability and stability in varied terrain. Inner lugs ensure multidirectional traction; the semiclimbing zone adds climbing performance, and self-cleaning channels keep the sole free from mud and debris.

The Forge is equipped with a polypropylene lasting board placed on top of the outsole and midsole unit, providing stiffness and support on uneven technical terrain under heavy backpacks, while under the compressed EVA midsole sits an ESS rock plate that protects the forefoot from sharp rocks.

The sole features four different areas with specific functionalities. Outer lugs are responsible for ground adaptability and stability in varied mountain terrain. Inner lugs deliver multidirectional traction while the front semi-climbing zone area offers increased technical approach performance. Finally, the self-cleaning channels keep the sole free from debris and mud.
• PU RAND: A lightweight rubber rand protects the toes and lateral and medial areas from abrasion caused by rocks and debris. This reinforcement enhances durability and safety, making the shoe reliable on demanding terrain.
• METALLIC HOOKS + EYELETS: Metal eyelets ensure smooth lace glide for quick and precise adjustment over the instep. Lace locks positioned at the base of the instep secure the fit in this area, while open hooks on the tongue and collar allow for maximum adjustability in the upper part of the boot.
