materials
Nubuck leather
The outer material of the 982 Quazar GTX is made of nubuck leather. Nubuck leather comes from the lightly sanded top layer of the animal skin. Sanding makes the leather feel softer, increases breathability and gives the leather a velvety appearance. Nubuck leather can be waxed, but it can also very well be left untreated. Waxing nubuck leather does make it darker, smoother and shinier. When you spray nubuck leather with a spray that contains wax, you treat this material in the best way.
GORE-TEX ®
DE 982 Quazar GTX contains a GORE-TEX ® membrane. The GORE-TEX ® membrane ensures that the 982 Quazar GTX are waterproof, but still breathable. This keeps your feet dry while walking.
insole
The 982 Quazar GTX has a removable insole from Zamberlan . This insole contributes to extra walking comfort. We also sell custom insoles that provide extra support.
Outsole
Like many hiking boots, the 982 Quazar GTX a VIBRAM ® outsole. Vibram soles are known for their high quality and durability and are therefore often used in hiking boots. The Vibram 3D outsoles ensure a good transition of the foot. The profile of the sole has been developed in such a way that it provides good grip on different surfaces. In addition, the profile of the sole is self-cleaning. This means that the sole does not retain sludge and soil. Because Vibram soles are wear-resistant, they last longer than other soles.
If the sole of your hiking boots is worn, they need to be replaced. Worn soles are a risk when walking. Because the profile of the sole disappears, the grip decreases and you slip faster. It’s just difficult to say goodbye to walking shoes that fit perfectly and with which beautiful trips have been made. Especially if you have always maintained your shoes well, the upper material of the shoe will last longer than the sole. The walking shoes may still look fine, but because the sole is worn out, they are no longer used for walks. With a heavy heart, hikers say goodbye to their favorite shoes. The big advantage of the 982 Quazar GTX is that they can be resoled. Like the soles of the 982 Quazar GTX are worn out in the future, so you don’t have to throw them away. We are happy to offer the service to have your shoes resoled. Bring your shoes or send them to us. We can then see if we can provide them with a new, original outsole.
