These rugged, mid-cut hiking boots will keep any backpacker comfortable, safe and supported through all types of terrain. A GORE-TEX® membrane blocks out the wet, allowing you to take spring showers and shallow streams in your stride. A gusseted tongue keeps out kicked-up rocks and twigs. For protection against stone bruising, there’s an ESS Snake Plate™ and a comfy OrthoLite® footbed. To ensure you have traction on tricky surfaces, there’s a sticky Vibram™ XS Trek outsole.
