Test: Dolomite Crodanera Hi GTX

Versatility and comfort

Here’s an all mountain shoe for all outdoor enthusiasts who love fast hikes and who like to challenge themselves on different types of terrains. One of the things we appreciated most about the new Crodanera Hi GTX is its elegant and minimal aesthetics. Because, if it is true that other things are important in the mountains, also looks matter and, above all, the better we feel with what we wear, the better our performance will be. Performance which, in the case of this shoe, is guaranteed by the snug fit that leaves a bit of play to the foot, maximizing mobility. The forefoot area is the one that has the greatest volume, this allows you to maximize comfort, but also to maintain precision on different types of terrains, even challenging ones. The upper is completely seamless and that, together with the elasticated collar and tongue, guarantees that the instep and ankle are perfectly wrapped but not constricted. If comfort is certainly the strong point of this shoe, the technical performance is also optimal. Testing it on different types of terrain we were able to verify how grip is great on any kind of grounds and even in the presence of water, the sole with Vibram Megagrip compound has a very good traction and the two-density EVA midsole allows you to also have a good cushioning, especially downhill. Noteworthy is the rubber toecap that protects the fingers and the perfect breathability of the Gore-Tex Vision Extended Comfort.
