NYC-SLC
Outdoor boots for trails and treks---are more functional than fashionable. For good reason...we've done enough tough terrain jaunts that eventually led to a big nail to turn black -and falling off...to know that we could not care less what our foot performance gear looks like-if it doesn't do its job in a well fitted manner.
From under the radar brands...impressive selections that go the distance-comfortable, protectively rugged, waterproof and durable -for 2015...some delivering soon-some available now.
Highlights:
 |
| SUGARPINE WP $140....lace-up hiker delivers in a lot of fun colors. waterproof/breathable upper of mesh, leather and suede |
AHNU, a Decker's owned brand...makes a fab fitting SUGARPINE waterproof/breathable hiking boot...a worthy selection for this company that was one of the first to come out in a bold color=the purple Montara.
What's to love: Very lightweight (11.6oz) a smidgen more than trail sneakers-
really... this techy outdoor boot features Ahnu's
Numentum™ Hike Technology (low Profile) for proper positioning of the foot...and all day comfort that
won't have you desperately kicking off these kicks at the end of an all day hike.
 |
| Dual density EVA removable footbed-great cushioning, shock absorbing. |
 |
| integrated nylon shank and arch support-ideal torsional rigidity meaning no twisted ankles on steep down the mountain trails,, pull tab at top helps with on/off, gusseted tongue keeps debris/dirt out, shock dispersal plate in forefoot for stone bruise protection on rocky surfaces. Helpful! |
 |
| Well stitched, moisture wicking mesh lining |
 |
| excellent support mid-foot and enough lateral support/flex combo for day hikes, rubber toe bump |
PERFECT FOR-Day hikes...and comfy enough to keep on for a meal out at the end of the day.

 |
non-marking lugged Vibram® outsole great traction/grip on wet surfaces
|
 |
| guy options--wate proof leather+water resistant suede-commuter lifestyle-with that white fox rubber-bright yellow laces |
THE FIT: Since this is a 3 season boot-our dress shoe size was the perfect fit. In the past...we used to go up a half size but now our hiking socks are thinner---not the bulky wools of days gone by...
