shoes for long hikers

Introducing shoes for long-distance hikers who want to go faster and farther while minimizing foot problems.

It looks like an updated version of the TERRAVENTURE series, but the concept feels more like long hikes than running.

The mesh upper and protective rubber around the toe are exactly like trail running shoes, and the tongue shape is designed to reduce weight in grams.

A medium-thick sole with a 5mm drop that ranges from 30mm to 25mm and is natural yet comfortable for walking. The outsole has a safe Featuring Vibram® Megagrip. A locking plate placed on the forefoot enhances protection. Although the midsole is thick, it is not too soft and emphasizes stability. I think this area also reflects the concept of walking long distances.

The best feature of this shoe is the insole. The insole, named FKT insole, is made with long trails in mind. FKT is an abbreviation for Fastest Known Time, which is one of the keywords for long hikes. The closed cell structure of FKT insole is Since it does not retain water, it prevents water from entering and quickly drains water, keeping the inside of the shoe dry.

Stack height: 30mm (heel) // 25mm (toe)
Drop: 5MM
Weight: 301 g (M9)

Cushioning: Medium Support: Stable Flexibility: Medium

Staff review

Although the sole is slightly thicker, it has a slightly firmer feel and is highly stable. The impression is that it can be used comfortably on both technical trails and paved roads. It has a simple design and looks good. I would like to use these as my main shoes for hiking and fastpacking.

アルトラオリンパス5からの買い替えです。比較としては台形デザインで安定感を得ているオリンパスに対してロックプレートなどで少し硬めのソールで全体の剛性を上げているtraverse。購入後トータル100キロほどフィールドで使いましたが、踵の収まりがとても良く「長く歩く」スタイルのわたくしにはtraverseの方が断然好みでした!こうたろうさんは保留してますが笑
