The Stumptown 10 Trail Shoe by Environmentally Neutral Design aka END, has taken the term "lightweight" to the next level. A super stable, environmentally friendly, protective trail shoe that is great for long hiking trips or experienced runners going on a trail run. Built with such a lightweight design, the beginner runner or hiker would be better off with a heavier more stable shoe, but if hiking/running is all you do, than these are the shoes for you. Designed with END's Seamsmart construction that delivers a plush under foot, low to the ground protective performance and a simple upper reinforced with webbing for a snug fit. The END EVO Biosmart midsole has a combination of cushioning, support and freedom for the foot with a roomy forefoot width. The Stumptown 10 is constructed with a protection plate for torsional stability and stone-bruise protection. The protection plate is cut from sheet stock ESS and then co-molded with the mid-sole which allows for natural forefoot flex and eliminates the need for glue. The trail travel outsole gives you traction on soft and hard surfaces with a shape that responds naturally to a run or fast walk.
