Garmont 9.81 Onyx GTX

The Garmont 9.81 Onyx GTX is the perfect companion for outdoor enthusiasts who specialize in hiking, trekking, via ferrata, and approach routes. This shoe combines technical sophistication with a dynamic design and is inspired by the world of running. With its lightweight, unstructured design, it offers exceptional grip, agile support, and impressive speed of movement that will benefit you on any terrain.
Made from durable polyester with high-strength polyamide yarn and 100% recycled polyester, this shoe offers not only sustainability but also outstanding comfort. The GORE-TEX® membrane ensures complete waterproofing and keeps your feet dry even in the harshest conditions. Garmont’s thermoformed PU foam insole and the integrated ESS insert in the midsole provide additional support and stability, while the Heel Lock System ensures a secure fit.
The VIBRAM® Evolution sole is another highlight of this model, as it is known for its durability and performance—ideal for challenging mountain activities. Thanks to Add® technology, which is based on the asymmetry of the feet, a perfect fit is guaranteed. Please note that it is recommended to buy this shoe half a size smaller than usual to ensure the best fit.
