Description
The Vangen Advance GTX is a sporty leisure shoe for lighter trips and everyday use. Vangen was developed by ALFA and shoe innovator Mike Friton according to ergonomic principles for the movement of the foot when we walk.
Vangen is made of ALFAs specially developed lightweight and durable AlfaAir™ upper material that sits well on the foot and gives you a soft and comfortable feeling during use. The traditional lacing system makes it possible to adapt the shoe well to your feet. The GORE-TEX membrane provides waterproofing and good breathability. This makes the Vangen the perfect shoe for active people in everyday life, whether you're going to the office or going out on a day trip.
We have designed the ALFA Nortik outsole according to ergonomic principles for an ideal combination of support under the arch of the foot, good grip on the ground and balance when walking. For a stable step, the shoe is made with plenty of room for the toes. EVA midsole provides soft and comfortable cushioning when walking on hard surfaces. Available in the colours black and dark grey for women and orange and blue for men. The shoes are perfect for daily use regardless of the weather forecast!
