Product description

Sure-footed on any terrain

The Dragontail LT from Garmont are technical approach shoes that provide stability during approaches and hikes with heavy luggage. However, if you want to wear technical, comfortable shoes in your daily life, then these are also the perfect choice for you.

Excellent material

The Dragontail LT feature a durable suede upper and a rubber edge at the toe area for additional protection. Plus, thanks to the Heel Lock system and lacing that goes down to the toes, the shoes will fit firmly on your feet and help you with precise stepping during climbs. However, please note that the forefoot area should be accurately adjusted when you first lace them. This must only be done once and your shoes will thank you for it by providing outstanding comfort and precision in return.

In addition, the insoles are made of microporous rubber in three different types of hardness at different areas of the foot. As a result, the heel provides a soft contact, while the forefoot is more stiff to ensure a safe climb. The Vibram sole guarantees wear resistance and friction in every situation.

Stable, comfortable and a technical fit – the Dragontail LT are versatile approach shoes.

Information on the fit: The shoes have a normal to wide fit at the back and are narrow at the front.

The features at a glance:

  • Suitable for approaches and hikes
  • Firm fit thanks to the Heel Lock System
  • Vibram sole

Very well made

However I didn't buy them. I take a 7 and usually buy Salomon 7 1/2 cos they are wife fitting. Tried a size 8 in these but they were way too narrow.

Sole out of line with upper !

Bought for lightweight use and developed ankle and knee problems . Put this down to old age(me not the shoe) and attended my physio for a going over . I've been seeing same guy for a number of years and he asked what was different as this was the first injury related reason for attending..subsequently asked me to bring the shoes next session .
Next time around he examined shoes.
After placing them on a table it was clear the sole and upper were badly out of line and caused the ankles to camber inwards..stopped wearing and the problem resolved itself
Dont know if these are a dud pair or this is Garmont "tech" would check them on table top straight out of the box guys beware.

What do you think about that?

Amazing shoe

These have taken everything I've thrown at them in their stride, from climbing around Different to scrambling in the Cuillins and drinking and dancing! Well worth it and they come in Cobalt blue too!

Super comfy, but disappointing

Incredible fit and comfort from day 1. I use these daily. Since September and the sole has worn out (10 months). The grip is incredible in dry, but slightest bit of moisture and you have no grip whatsoever, I’d actually say they’re appalling to be honest when wet. I had scarpa, la sportiva, merrell, meindl etc etc but Garmont being the worst out of all in bad weather, not to mention they’re really not waterproof even walking in long wet grass you’ll suffer leakage. generally on the stiff side to ‘feel’ the ground underfoot for narrow trails and foot placements. The protective rand and stiff sole is good for scree but not common for my hiking trails.

  • Advantages
    Comfortable
  • Disadvantages
    Not waterproof
    Bad grip
    Too stiff

Comfortable walking shoe

A very comfortable, supportive shoe, ideal for less ambitious hikes and not too technical looking to wear around town. Robust and fairly water resistant - although not entirely waterproof.

Disappointed - not hard wearing

I have a pair of Garmont Pinnacle GTX boots that are truly excellent. This was a factor in buying the dragontails.
However first time I wore them in rocky terrain they both got damaged and now need to be replaced. Fit and stability is good but uppers too fragile.
