Combining a modern fit system with Salewa's new Ankle Protection
System (APS), the new Dropline Mid ($180) offers stability and
precision fit, making it a good choice for moving quickly in the
mountains. APS is a thermoformed, high rebound material that
offers extra ankle lateral-support, especially while going downhill.
Styles in the new Sypes collection from Oboz are built to perform
on the trail with mountain town style. Featuring the brand's new
Bend outsole with 5mm deep lugs, each Sypes style is specifically
tuned for gender, support, and rebound, delivering comfort and
versatility. Available in mid (below) and low leather waterproof
styles, prices in the collection range from $135 to $165.
The new Taurus Pro GTX Mid ($180) is a split leather and fabric trail
shoe from Lowa that is designed for day hiking and multi-sport
activities. Versatile and lightweight, it features injected midsole
technology for support and comfort and Gore-Tex construction
for waterproof/breathable protection.
Whether on the water or on the trail, Ecco's new fully adjustable
$100 X-Trinsic sandal is an all-day option. With a grippy rubber
outsole and Phorene footbed, the sporty style is at home
wherever it goes. It uses Ecco's FluidForm construction and
has a grippy rubber outsole for good measure.
