Salomon Genesis Mid GTX Hiking Boot - Women's Grisaille/Green Milieu/Nine Iron, US 8.0/UK 6.5

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I wore the Genesis Mid GTX Hiking Boot on a rocky ridge hike and the optiFOAM midsole gave every step a noticeably cushioned landing. Rain moved in halfway through and the GORE-TEX membrane kept my feet completely dry the rest of the way.""Rugged ridgelines demand a boot that moves as quickly as you do, and the Salomon Genesis Mid GTX Hiking Boot delivers exactly that kind of agility without sacrificing support. We've picked our way across loose scree and scrambled over rock gardens in these, feeling light and quick footed the whole way instead of weighed down by a traditional boot. The optiFOAM midsole cushions every landing with a dynamic ride that keeps legs feeling fresh late into a long day, while activeCHASSIS technology adds stability exactly where rugged terrain demands it. A GORE-TEX membrane seals out rain and stream crossings alike, so a change in weather never means a change in plans."
