Design and Build Quality
The Mammut Trovat Advanced II High GTX features top-quality materials in the form of a combination of full-grain leather with elastic Gore-Tex-lined fabric. Material mix-ins mean durability, flexibility, and a comfortable fit to prevent water ingression. The design of the boot features a big rubber rand that wraps around the toes and heel for increased longevity and added protection on rocky terrain.

Comfort is a paramount feature in the design of the Trovat Advanced II High GTX. Because of the three-zone lacing system, it allows you to vary the tightness in different zones; this also includes two locking eyelets for secure closure. Inside the boot, “Memo Foam” has been placed in both the tongue and heel for support and comfort over long distances. The can be quite a tight fit, especially if your feet are on the wide side.
Performance
Trovat Advanced II High GTX are very capable in the majority of hiking conditions. It boasts a Vibram MT-Traction II outsole, which should provide excellent grip on both wet and dry surfaces. The sole unit includes a PU wedge in the midsole, providing an adequate level of shock absorption and stability. The “Rolling Concept” of the boot promotes the natural rolling movement of the foot, which reduces fatigue and the possibility of ankle twists. They’re also B1 crampon compatible, making them good to go on those winter mountain adventures.
