Underfoot, the FloatPro™ midsole delivers lightweight cushioning that doesn’t pack out, and FlexPlate™ technology adds torsional stability on uneven ground. A removable EVA footbed layers in adaptable comfort, while the Vibram® MegaGrip® outsole provides all-weather traction across loose dirt, slick stone, and muddy singletrack.
