What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I like these for mixed mountain terrain because they feel lighter than a full boot but still have the protection I need. The R-Shell Dry membrane holds up in wet weather, and the cushioned midsole keeps long approaches from feeling punishing."When we head into the mountains for full-day missions, the Altridge Mid R-Shell Dry Hiking Shoes from Rossignol help us move with confidence from rocky switchbacks to soft forest paths. Their blend of agility and support keeps us steady as we transition between terrain types, and the waterproof, breathable construction shields us from morning dew, sudden showers, and lingering snow patches without slowing our pace. We appreciate how the mid-height design brings stability on uneven ground while staying light enough for quick, energetic movement. Reinforced rock protection and a cushioned platform add security underfoot, especially when weaving across talus or descending long ridgelines. Recycled materials in the liner, upper, and outsole reflect thoughtful construction, giving us durable performance with a lighter footprint. Whether we're climbing toward a lookout or linking miles of rolling trail, the Altridge Mid keeps us moving comfortably and confidently.
