Speedgoat 6 Mid GTX Hiking Boot – Men's

Built for technical trail runners and ridge-to-ridgeline hikers who refuse to slow down when conditions turn ugly, the Speedgoat 6 Mid GTX is our top pick for wet, rooty, rocky Southern trail miles. GORE-TEX waterproofing keeps your feet dry without sacrificing breathability, while Vibram Megagrip with 5mm lugs locks you in on slick roots and muddy climbs. The mid-cut collar adds ankle stability without the stiffness of a traditional hiking boot.

• Vibram Megagrip outsole with 5mm traction lugs bites into wet rock, mud, and loose dirt — the same compound used on technical climbing shoes
• GORE-TEX membrane delivers genuine waterproof protection while still allowing enough airflow to handle Southern summer humidity
• Compression-molded EVA midsole stacks 40mm at the heel and 35mm at the toe for serious cushioning on long mileage days without feeling like you're running on pillows
• Flexible mid-cut collar gives ankle support on technical terrain without locking you into the rigid feel of a traditional hiking boot — runs more like a shoe, protects more like a boot
• Protective toe rand and recycled polyester mesh upper balance durability and weight at 11.4 oz, keeping this shoe honest for both trail running and fast-and-light hiking
