Description
Lightweight, waterproof boots suited to covering serious ground. Mountain-goating over tricky, uneven terrain? The tuned midsole and flexible heel and forefoot provide confidence-inspiring sensitivity and trail feel. Grippy, supportive soles give you stability and traction on mud and rock.
- Uppers are full-grain leather for excellent support, durability and waterproofing.
- GORE-TEX® membrane ensures your feet stay dry during muddy early spring hikes or sudden mid-summer downpours.
- EVA footbed is equal parts comfortable and supportive.
- Lightweight yet durable polyurethane midsole has EVA pods for cushioning and a TPU shank for stability.
- Grippy Vibram® outsoles with XSTrek rubber compound allows for a thinner sole without sacrificing grip or durability.
