Garmont 9.81 Etere Women's Fast Hiking Shoes Very Violet/Sulphur Green EU 40

Most hiking footwear forces a choice between burly protection and nimble speed—the Garmont 9.81 Etere refuses that compromise. Built on Garmont's Anatomically Directed Design (ADD), this women's fast hiking shoe mirrors the natural curves of the foot, reducing fatigue on long ascents while a breathable mesh upper with recycled PU inserts delivers a sock-like, ventilated fit. At roughly 340 g per shoe, it disappears on your foot, letting you move quickly across ridgelines and light trails without the clunk of traditional boots.

Highlights

• Breathable mesh upper with recycled PU inserts for durability and airflow
• Garmont G-Frame EVA midsole provides responsive cushioning and torsional control
• GTF Magnet outsole with aggressive lugs ensures confident grip on mixed terrain
• Integrated heel lock and reinforced toe cap protect and stabilize the foot
• 8 mm heel-to-toe drop promotes a natural, efficient stride
• Approx. 340 g per shoe (size 40) – ultra-light for fast-paced adventures
