Whether we're bigger fans of long day hikes or multi-day backpacking trips, keeping our feet happy is our top priority, so we recommend the Scarpa SL Activ Backpacking Boot for unmatched comfort and protection. The full-grain leather upper is durable and protective, while the medium-density PU midsole cushions every step to keep us walking for miles on end. We also love how breathable the 37. 5 fabric in the toe box is, ensuring our feet can breathe when the day starts to heat up, and the optimal grip the Vibram rubber outsole provides no matter what terrain we encounter.
