Combining a very lightweight yet supportive plate, a midsole with rocker geometry and SurfaceCTRL traction, our new VECTIV technology is designed to optimize energy on the trail. And, with the Exploris Mounted Shoes, that translates into a hiking model designed to go the distance. The FUTURELIGHT membrane is incredibly breathable and the nubuck leather is durable yet flexible. The heels are reinforced for added protection and the molded mesh ankles keep the foot secure.
