MOUNTAIN TREK GTX - Graphite/Orange

Wore these straight from a rocky scramble onto a regular trail and the hike-friendly midsole made the transition feel seamless. Grip on wet granite was solid and my feet stayed dry through a full day of mixed terrain.

I took them up a steep couloir and then onto a rocky trail—the flexible midsole made the switch from climbing to hiking feel effortless. They’re also surprisingly light for a boot with this much technical DNA.

The midsole makes the walk back down feel way less punishing than my old mountaineering boots. I scrambled a few technical sections and they still edged fine, then hiked out five miles without my feet screaming. Solid transition boot if you're tired of choosing between climbing and comfort.
