Hats off to the clever person(s) who sourced the très haute quilted metallic fabrics that made their debut on the low, mid and high boots…at Mountrek.
Yeah, the boots have a few techy bells and whistles too…after all, this is a company known for its performance driven outdoor footwear for hikers and water rippers.
So, yes, the boots have genius bottom curves that encourage a natural motion gait.
And a gridded sole that disperses snow and mud…. and grips the ice assuring a non-slip toe to heel stride.
And they’re 100% waterproof…and insulated, often with Primaloft. Cozy.
YEAH, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We were rockin’ the uppers though. We also covet the multi-textured pebble croco boot collared with a boiled wool... (textile imported from Italy…where else?).
Prices are easy too…typically $59-$89.
Look for Mountrek at Paragons (NYC), Cabela’s, Belks, Pass Pro Shops and online.
FACTOID: Mountrek is owned by JMLAR-a confab of terrific shoe/accessories companies like The Frye Company, Coach and Calvin Klein Footwear and RJ Colt.
