Mid cut walking boots like this make perfect sense for really active travellers who want to avoid restrictive, clumpy boots but also need a certain amount of support. That's where the Sable comes in. Fit and feel are akin to a trail running shoe but you still get ankle support for rougher ground. Features include nubuck and suede uppers with breathable mesh panels, a GORE-TEX breathable waterproof liner, EVA footbed, 80% recycled insole board and a unique Vibram rubber outsole. It's an agile, grippy and attractive package for fast paced hikers.
