{"product_id":"zamberlan-tofane-gore-tex-rr-nw-waxed-brick","title":"Zamberlan Tofane Gore-Tex RR NW Waxed Brick","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eTofane GTX RR NW\u003c\/strong\u003e is a serious leather backpacking boot for demanding mountain terrain and heavier loads. Its Norwegian-welted construction creates a durable connection between upper and sole and allows the boot to be \u003cstrong\u003eresoled\u003c\/strong\u003e. This makes sense for users who prefer maintaining a well-made boot over replacing lightweight footwear after a few seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe upper uses \u003cstrong\u003e2.6 mm Hydrobloc waxed Tuscan leather\u003c\/strong\u003e. The treatment improves water resistance while preserving the depth and character of natural leather. Inside, a \u003cstrong\u003eGORE-TEX lining\u003c\/strong\u003e provides waterproof, breathable protection. Leather still needs care: brush off dry dirt, clean gently, let it dry naturally and restore the finish with a suitable conditioner rather than direct heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderfoot, a lightweight PU midsole and Vibram outsole provide balanced cushioning, support and secure contact on rugged ground. The official rating is \u003cstrong\u003emoderate flex with moderate cushioning\u003c\/strong\u003e. That means a supportive platform for classic backpacking and rough backcountry routes, not the soft roll of a casual walking shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFit is described as a \u003cstrong\u003eregular Backpacking Fit\u003c\/strong\u003e. The slightly lower instep, wrapped flex point and firmer heel-lock area are intended to secure the foot under load. Try the boot with the socks you intend to wear and leave useful toe room for descents. If you are between sizes or your feet differ in length, choose around the larger foot and prioritise secure heel hold without pressure across the instep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt approximately \u003cstrong\u003e970 grams per half pair in US 8\u003c\/strong\u003e, this is a protective, substantial boot rather than a fast-and-light option. Handmade in Italy, it suits buyers who value repairability, premium leather and proven weather protection.

Reproof the leather periodically and ask a specialist about resoling before the outsole is worn through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing this model\u003c\/strong\u003e comes down to intended use. Choose the Tofane when support, protection and long-term durability matter more than low weight. Break the leather in gradually before a major trip and adjust lacing by zone to balance heel hold with forefoot comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore the first long use\u003c\/strong\u003e, wear the boots on shorter walks and learn how the leather and lacing respond. Natural leather can show variation in grain and tone; this is normal rather than a defect. Store the pair dry, with the insoles aired, and avoid leaving it next to a radiator or in a hot car.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNorwegian Welted construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.6 mm Hydrobloc waxed Tuscan leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGORE-TEX lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibram outsole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprotective rubber toe rand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e970 g per half pair in US 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emoderate flex and cushioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eregular Backpacking Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emade in Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eresoleable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Zamberlan","offers":[{"title":"41","offer_id":58140969927038,"sku":"1925PM1G0B","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"41.5","offer_id":58140969959806,"sku":"1925PM1G0B","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"42","offer_id":58140969992574,"sku":"1925PM1G0B","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"42.5","offer_id":58140970025342,"sku":"1925PM1G0B","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"43","offer_id":58140970058110,"sku":"1925PM1G0B","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"43.5","offer_id":58140970090878,"sku":"1925PM1G0B","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"44","offer_id":58140970123646,"sku":"1925PM1G0B","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"44.5","offer_id":58140970156414,"sku":"1925PM1G0B","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"45","offer_id":58140970189182,"sku":"1925PM1G0B","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"45.5","offer_id":58140970221950,"sku":"1925PM1G0B","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"46","offer_id":58140970254718,"sku":"1925PM1G0B","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"46.5","offer_id":58140970287486,"sku":"1925PM1G0B","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"47","offer_id":58140970320254,"sku":"1925PM1G0B","price":379.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/5322\/7390\/files\/Zamberlan-Tofane-Gore-Tex-RR-NW-Waxed-Brick-1.jpg?v=1791112485","url":"https:\/\/www.behindthepines.eu\/products\/zamberlan-tofane-gore-tex-rr-nw-waxed-brick","provider":"Behind The Pines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
