Introducing the Millet Trident Range

The Tridents are staple Millet hiking shoes and boots in the outdoor world. They can be seen on the feet of Mont-Blanc mountain guides, testifying to their reliability and performance. Some are available in a low cut: Trident Guide, others in a mid cut: Super Trident and Super Trident Matryx. Both men's and women's versions are available.

These Millet hiking shoes and boots offer a consistent foot fit, allowing comfort on both forest trails and narrow mountain paths. They are versatile, suitable for leisure hikes or multi-day treks. They are also ready to follow mountaineers on approach walks that lead to base camps from which they will attempt to summit. Each Trident shoe stands out for its ruggedness, its grip on steep, muddy, and rocky terrains, as well as its traction on slippery surfaces.

Trident Guide Shoe: Light for Hikes and Approaches

The Millet Trident Guide is a low-cut hiking shoe that combines lightness and technicality. It features a hybrid leather and mesh upper that provides good foot support, with total freedom at the ankle. In its GTX version, it incorporates a Gore-Tex membrane to keep your feet dry.

For comfort and cushioning, it features a dual-density EVA midsole. The outsole is a Vibram Mulaz sole with a climbing zone at the front to have just the right amount of grip in technical passages. It features a typical approach shoe lacing system that extends almost from the toes to the top of the instep.

The Trident Guide benefits from a rand that protects the toe box and sides. Its robustness, lightness, and comfort make it an ideal choice for approach walks on alpine terrains. It also performs very well for hiking in spring, summer, and autumn.

Super Trident Gore-Tex: Hiking and Trekking

The Super Trident GTX are versatile hiking boots whose upper combines water-repellent leather and breathable mesh. Their mid-height provides ankle support and good protection of the malleoli. The Lycra mini-gaiters prevent small pebbles from getting inside.

Like the Guide GTX, the Super Trident also benefits from a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane to prevent water entry and allow sweat to escape. It also has a midsole that promotes excellent cushioning. As for its traction capability, the Vibram Mulaz soles ensure grip, traction, and stability on all terrains. They feature a climbing zone at the front to make climbing technical sections easier.

In its women's version, the Super Trident GTX shares the same technical characteristics as the men's version, proving just as protective. It is simply designed with a fit tailored to the female foot, to contour it even more comfortably.

The Millet Super Trident GTX are as comfortable for a few hours of hiking as they are for a trek spanning several days. They can also be used for approach hikes. The laces allow for precise adjustment from the toes to the ankle. Being mid-cut boots, they are not intended for technical alpinism. However, the stiffness of their soles supports strap-on crampons very well.

Super Trident Matryx GTX: Mountaineering

The Millet Super Trident Matryx GTX are mountaineering boots, whose semi-rigid high-top upper is made of nylon and Kevlar. It ensures excellent foot support, comfortably wraps the ankles, while being highly resistant to abrasion. They are compatible with hybrid crampons for safety on snow or ice.

These Millet boots have a Gore-Tex waterproof-breathable membrane to keep feet perfectly protected from moisture. They also boast Vibram Mulaz outsoles, with a climbing zone at the front to facilitate climbing technical sections. The rubber rands protect the Achilles tendons, toes, as well as the sides.

The women's version of the Super Trident Matryx is just as enviable as the men's model. It features the same specifications, with a fit tailored to the female foot, to embrace it as comfortably as possible.

Comparison: Guide GTX vs Super GTX

While the Trident Guide GTX and the Super Trident GTX are benchmarks from Millet, each model has its specifics and suits different needs. Therefore, it is essential to compare them well to make the right choice.

Intended use: both models are designed for hiking and can, both, be used for approach walks and trekking. However, being low-cut shoes, the Guide GTX are more suitable for light hiking than the Super Trident. They offer more flexibility and greater freedom of movement of the ankles. Conversely, the Super Trident are more secure for tackling rugged terrains, offering more support, especially of the ankles.
Waterproofness: both the Trident Guide GTX and Super Trident GTX have a Gore-Tex membrane. However, being low-cut hiking shoes, the Guide GTX offer less moisture protection, water can penetrate at the collar.
Protection: being mid-cut hiking boots, the Super Trident GTX provide effective ankle support. Plus, thanks to their mini-gaiter, they provide an extra layer of protection, preventing small rocks from getting inside.

How to Choose the Right Pair of Millet Tridents?

The Millet Trident boots and shoes range from size 4 to 11 depending on the model. To choose your pair correctly, it is essential to know your shoe size. For your comfort, knowing that feet tend to swell when walking, we advise you to take a half size, or even a size above your usual size.
