Mammut Aenergy TR BOA Mid GTX Men 5

The Aenergy TR BOA Mid GTX from Mammut is their top-of-the-line trail running shoe for mid to long distance trails, they are also suitable for hiking or walking on uneven terrain. They are rather unusual looking with an asymmetrical design an their BOA fit system, this clever alternative to regular laces the BOA uses a dialled fastening, drawing all the areas of the shoe in equally and precisely with micro-adjustments to gain an exact fit. Conveniently the dial can also be easily used whilst wearing gloves on those colder or wet days.

When it comes to the outsole the Aenergy has utilised a Vibram Megagrip with Litebase technology that ensure it can handle even the most challenging of environments whilst keeping the weight down low, they have also snuck in a cheeky GORE-TEX membrane to protect you from what they like to call Mother Nature’s tantrums a phase I will now be adopting. As we look on the inside of the shoe there is a high-rebound EVA midsole that offers stability and comfort whilst the breathable knitted upper, ensure moisture and warm air can escape the shoe. They weigh about 375g and have a 22mm stack height and a 7mm heal drop, they are PFC-free DWR, 100% decarbonized and use recycled materials. The 3M reflective detailing help you remain visible in gloomy conditions. The elastic knitted sock construction around the ankle keeps everything comfortable whilst the more ridged part of the shoe provides ankle support. These hiking shoes are so well thought out, they provide support in all the right places, protection against the elements, excellent traction on unpredictable ground whilst remains lightweight and comfortable throughout the run.
