What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I love these for long mixed-terrain hikes because they feel quick and comfortable but still give me the protection I want from a mid-height hiker. The R-Shell Dry membrane handles wet grass and surprise showers, and the lightweight build helps keep my legs fresh late in the day."When we head into the mountains for full, rewarding days on dirt, rock, and soft forest paths, the Altridge Mid R-Shell Dry Hiking Shoes from Rossignol help us travel with confidence. Their blend of trail-shoe agility and structured support lets us move naturally across technical terrain, while the waterproof, breathable construction keeps our steps dry from early-morning dew to late-afternoon rain. What we appreciate most is their balance of protection and comfort. Reinforced rock shielding helps on sharp, uneven ground; stable cushioning smooths out long miles; and the mid-height design adds dependable support without slowing our stride. Recycled materials in the liner, upper, and outsole contribute to a lighter footprint-both literally and environmentally. Whether we're linking scenic overlooks or winding deeper into mountain trails, the Altridge Mid keeps each step steady, responsive, and comfortable.
