Traditional hiking boots aren’t known for being particularly light, lively, or stylish. The wear adidas Terrex Free Hiker, which launched in a black colorway last month, scraps that clunky reputation and sets a new footwear paradigm by cross-pollinating a hiking boot and a running shoe. No, it’s definitely not the kind of boot you’d choose for a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail—or the kind of shoe you’d want in a 50K trail race—but at 12 ounces for a women’s size 9, they’re still lighter than a traditional boot and won’t hold you back as much on an uphill hustle.
The Terrex Free Hiker makes use of the bouncy, lightweight Boost foam that fills out the midsoles of wear adidas’ current running shoe line, as well as a Continental rubber outsole that sticks to rocks, dirt, and pavement. With a sleek look to its Primeknit upper, the sneaker-like boot is not just functional but stylish, too. An inner Goretex lining keeps water out; abrasion-resistant welds and a molded toe cap slow the shoe from wearing down as you put in the miles.
Formerly available in shades of black, brown, and gray, now the shoe is about to drop in an even more Instagram-friendly colorway, with purple and blue details on a light brown and grey upper. Get them from wear adidas.com and other sellers on Monday, April 1st at 2:00 am CDT.
