Built for the hot and rocky conditions found
along the beginning section of the 2,650 mile
long Pacific Crest Trail, the $140 Trail 2650
Campo from Danner is technical and stylish.
It features a Vibram 460 outsole with Megagrip,
and its linerless design is gaiter-compatible,
with drainage ports in its EVA midsole.
The updated version of Salomon's go-to
trail shoe, the Sense Ride 4 ($120) offers even
more durability and breathability with a new
upper featuring anti-debris mesh. An Optivibe
midsole provides shock absorption and vibration
dampening without affecting rebound, and a
decoupled rock plate delivers protection.
