'Vertigo' multi-purpose boot


As part of its new 'Ride n' Hike' concept, at EICMA the Stylmartin brand launched the 'Vertigo' multi-purpose boot that is "a valid alternative to the classic low-cut adventure boot. Its strong points being protective on the bike and extremely high-performance while walking, especially on rough terrain".

The Stylmartin 'Ride n Hike' philosophy was inspired by adventure motorcycle enthusiasts who want to integrate their riding journey with trekking. "It all started from an idea to develop a versatile and innovative product, capable of mixing both of the requirements without compromising one or the other," said Export & Marketing Manager Luisa Visentin. "That’s how 'Vertigo' was born, a valid alternative to classic adventure footwear that combines the walking stability of an outdoor activity boot or shoe, even uphill and on rough terrain such as mud, sand or rocks, with the protection needed for a certified technical motorcycle boot, without overlooking comfort."

'Vertigo' is offered in two high-performance variants, Vertigo WP for mid-season/winter and Vertigo AIR for spring use and warmer weather. The boot has a full-grain greased leather upper, combined with waterproof and breathable lining, and an anatomical and replaceable micro-perforated insole with anti-shock cushioning.

Extra protection is provided by internal ankle inserts on both sides of the boot - D3O Fitted Ankle Guards. "Ergonomically fitted and well integrated in the shoe, these supple and flexible protectors are so soft that you can hardly feel them when walking, but offer added safety in case of impact". The non-slip "Traction" rubber outsole features drainage channels.

The reflective laces are kept in place with a taped lace loop and an easy-stow pocket, and there are reflex inserts on the upper, back loop and ankle guards. Vertigo WP is available in sizes 36 to 47 in black or brown. Vertigo AIR will be available in February 2023.
