What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've logged trail miles in a lot of boots, but the Free Hiker 2 GTX hits that sweet spot of lightweight feel and serious stability. The GORE-TEX keeps me dry in slushy alpine crossings, and the Continental rubber outsole grips just about everything-mud, scree, slick rock, you name it. It's one of my favorite picks for long days with changing conditions."We head out with confidence when the Terrex Free Hiker 2 GTX Hiking Boot is laced up and ready to roll. This modern hiking boot from adidas Terrex is made for long miles on rugged terrain, built with the responsive comfort of a BOOST midsole that helps energize every step of the journey. The GORE-TEX membrane offers breathable waterproof protection, while a gusseted tongue keeps out debris on rocky switchbacks and forest floors alike. The lightweight upper hugs like a trail runner, but a molded toe cap, external heel clip, and EVA stabilization frame ensure the kind of support we need to push into technical terrain. A Continental(TM) Rubber outsole grips reliably on both dry granite slabs and wet mossy trails, keeping our footing secure from basecamp to summit. Made with at least 20% recycled materials, this shoe supports both the planet and our next big push.
