The Strand ATR (All Terrain) features a custom designed, trail-specific outsole with strategic cushioning, puncture protection, and buffed-up traction suitable for the most rugged trails. This is your best choice for rucking, trekking, or advanced hiking on your favorite trails, and medium-to-high impact gym or other fitness activities. Also a great option for those new to barefoot shoes and wanting a bit more stability, support, and grip. While we've been programmed to believe you need a rigid, high-top boot for hiking, the Strand ATR is the best hiking shoe you'll ever wear. Instead of stomping over terrain and dispersing impact inappropriately throughout your lower body, the Strand ATR allows your feet to gracefully navigate even the most challenging obstacles and rough surfaces with the dexterity you need to be safe, stay in balance, and absorb impact efficiently. Our specialized EVA midsole is reinforced with Kevlar™ fiber puncture-proof fabric, while the Jacquard mesh upper with midfoot overlay reinforcements has been treated with a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish, providing some basic protection from the elements (not waterproof.) Enjoy the convenience of the ATR’s quick-lace system to cinch up and head out for adventures.
