Building on a tradition of reliable performance, REI Spirit III backpacking boots deliver comfort and waterproof protection, mile after mile. Breathable full-grain leather uppers feature one-piece construction for durable support and easy waterproofing. Waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex booties keep feet dry and comfortable, no matter what the weather. Cambrelle linings in front wick away moisture; leather lining in heels helps boots conform to the shape of your feet. Padded ankle collars and padded, gusseted tongues have an improved shape that prevents shifting over forefoot and relieves lace pressure. Built-in rubber rands add protection from water and trail hazards; rubber toe caps increase durability. Polyurethane midsoles are designed with more rocker for a smooth stride; full-length nylon shanks add stability and shock absorption. Dual-density Vibram rubber outsoles with aggressive lug pattern enhances traction uphill and down, plus clears mud easily. |
