Men's Trail Shoes Kayland Duke Lite GTX Black Dark Teal 2025

The Duke Lite GTX is a lightweight, low-cut hiking shoe from the Italian brand Kayland, designed for walking on medium-difficult hiking trails, as well as for more dynamic, fast hikes in the summer. This model combines durable fabric with technical features such as a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane and a stable Vibram Duke outsole.

The Duke Lite GTX men's trail shoes are part of Kayland's Duke series - designed for mixed terrain - from rocks to forest trails and even moderate alpine climbs - combining comfort with reliable protection. These low-cut hiking shoes are the lightest version of the Duke and successfully provide speed and stability - with them you can move quickly on easy sections, and then confidently tackle steeper or uneven terrain without losing traction or comfort.

The upper part of the Duke Lite GTX is made of Ripstop textile reinforced with TPU film, which makes it resistant to scratches and abrasions. The model features a Gore-Tex Prism membrane, which makes the shoe completely waterproof, but at the same time breathable. This type of Gore-Tex is ideal for moderate to warm temperatures and intensive hiking.

The Duke Lite GTX hiking shoes are designed for all-day comfort and long life. The anatomical shape ensures that the shoe follows the natural contours of the foot for a precise and comfortable fit. The lacing system is reinforced with TPU elements, which evenly distributes the tension when tightening. Cushioning is provided by a molded EVA foam midsole and a polyurethane foam insole, which absorbs vibrations and makes each step more efficient on long hikes. Despite all these features, the shoes remain surprisingly light, which is of great importance when many mountain kilometers await you.

The Vibram DUKE outsole features traction lug technology: a tread pattern designed specifically for varied terrain, stones, gravel and grass that ensures enhanced grip underfoot. The toe features a climbing zone, ideal for more demanding trails or via ferratas, while the rubber toecap and extended wings on the sole protect the foot and deliver enhanced shock absorption.

Based on the extensive experience in developing mountaineering shoes, Kayland created the Duke Lite model, in which it successfully combines durability, lightness and an innovative design. All this makes the Duke Lite trail shoes the ideal shoe for those who like to have more freedom of movement without compromising on safety when trekking and hiking.
