Cocona lining wicks sweat and soaks up foot funk. Rocker bottoms on the these Italian boots encourage your feet to stride naturally, and internal padding helps stabilize the ankles and locks the heels down. Kayland extended the lacing all the way to the toes to ensure a precise fit. The Vertigo High's IADS (Integrated Absorbing Drive System) absorbs shock during heel strike, provides torsional stability so you're less prone to turning an ankle, and propels you forward when you push off with the balls of your feet at the end of your stride."

"Great boot!!! Very comfy right out of the box. Long break-in's are a thing of the past with boots like these available.

Lace-to-toe option is great for adjustments and the two upper speed laces are great. These boots go on like slippers but do not let that fool ya; they are lightweight but offer tons of support for backpacking or peak bagging."

"I was looking for a lighter-weight boot for more difficult, scrambling hikes that might include some very easy rock climbing and crossing of snow fields. This boot appears to be a perfect choice for peak-bagging with a light load on my back.

The design of the Vertigo High strikes a nice balance between providing support and allowing me to remain nimble."
