Lundhag Polar Quest Boot

The Polar Quest features an aggressive, self-cleaning, high traction Vibram outsole, exclusive to Lundhag, insures that mobility is not sacrificed. This boot is designed with a mountaineering midsole, which is constructed of extra firm crepe and features a full-length steel shank. Six millimeters of EVA insulation covers the steel shank to further protect from the cold. The midsole offers heel-to-toe rigidity, ample heel height, heel strike, and toe spring which reduces foot fatigue that often results when traversing steep and rocky terrain.The upper of the Polar Quest is constructed much like the common Pac boots on the market but with added features to further enhance its functionality and performance. It is twelve inches tall for added support while under load and constructed of full-grain, hydrophobic impregnated leather for enhanced water repellency. The vamp is quadruple stitched for added durability. The tongue is fully gusseted with calfskin to keep debris from entering the shaft and to allow for a comfortable fit. A technical lacing system, complete with ball-bearing d-rings, affords the user with an infinitely adjustable fit that securely locks the heel into place. A lightweight and waterproof cellular-rubber bottom, which was first introduced to the market by Lundhag, offers excellent protection from scree and shale. The toe and heel counters are also reinforced with a dimpled rubber rand to further extend the life of the boot.The Polar Quest not only has a well-built shell and foundation, but also has plenty to offer on the inside. A removable liner was added to provide ample insulation for those cold days in the high lonesome. Consisting of sixty-percent wool and a blend of acrylic fibers the liner will continue to insulate if it becomes wet and dries overnight. Within the liner itself is a removable insole that features the same blend of wool and acrylic to provide further insulation while also having rigid foam from the heel to the ball to offer padding and support. This insole can also be removed and replaced with aftermarket insoles such as our High Country footbed. A full leather lining within the boot transfers moisture away from the foot and liner providing a dry foot throughout the day.
