Adidas TERREX Terrex Freehiker 3 Ultra GTX Hiking Shoe - Men's Collegiate Green/Collegiate Green/Carbon, 11.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I wore the Terrex Freehiker 3 Ultra GTX Hiking Shoe on a fast-paced day hike where I wanted something between a trail runner and a hiking boot, and this hit that mark perfectly. The speedlace system with the 3D molded toggle made trailhead adjustments instant, and at 360 grams, the shoe disappears on your foot in the best possible way. The Continental outsole held up confidently on wet granite without a single sketchy moment.""There is a certain kind of trail day that calls for covering ground quickly and comfortably, where the goal is distance, and the shoe underneath needs to keep pace without holding you back. The adidas Terrex Freehiker 3 Ultra GTX Hiking Shoe was built for exactly that purpose, borrowing heavily from running shoe design to create something that feels as fast as it looks. The speedlace closure with its 3D molded toggle locks in fit in seconds, so you spend less time at the trailhead and more time moving through it. Underfoot, the Hyperboost Pro midsole and Dreamstrike+ cushioning work together to absorb the repetitive impact of long days without dulling the trail feel that keeps you sure-footed on variable terrain. The flexible bootie construction wraps the ankle in a seamless, sock-like fit that eliminates hotspots and reduces break-in time to essentially zero. GORE-TEX waterproofing keeps feet dry through wet conditions, while the Continental rubber outsole delivers grip that holds on wet rock and loose dirt alike. At 360 grams, this shoe is light enough that you will stop noticing it entirely, which is exactly the point."
