Lowa Lady Light GTX Backpacking Boot - Women's Graphite/Jade, 6.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I put the Lady Light GTX Backpacking Boot through a four-day loop on a mix of rocky trail and off-trail scrambling with a loaded pack, and they handled it all without complaint. The seamless lining was immediately noticeable, keeping hot spots from developing even during the longest days, and the GORE-TEX kept my feet dry through two stream crossings and a full afternoon of wet trail without any hint of moisture getting through.""Medium-weight backpacking terrain asks a lot from a boot, demanding support for a loaded pack, grip on loose and rocky ground, and enough comfort to still feel good on day four. Lowa engineered the Lady Light GTX Backpacking Boot on a women's specific last with extra toe room and flat ribbon lace loops designed to eliminate pressure points along the top of the foot, so the fit stays comfortable even when the miles start to accumulate. The Heinen Terracare Nubuck leather upper brings durability and structure without unnecessary bulk, while the seamless lining removes the friction points that cause hot spots on long approaches. GORE-TEX waterproofing keeps feet dry through creek crossings and wet trail, and the Dual Density DuraPU midsole absorbs impact and provides the kind of stable, confident platform that matters when the trail gets loose and uneven underfoot. The Vibram TRAC LITE II outsole ties everything together with reliable traction across the mixed terrain that defines a real backcountry day."
