The Cascade Peak Mid Shoe is a mid-top hiking boot built on Forsake's lightweight Cascade platform, with leather and TPU overlays reinforcing the areas that take the most abuse on rugged terrain. A waterproof, breathable membrane with taped seams handles wet trail conditions, and a dual-density MultiGrip outsole puts denser rubber at the heel and inner lugs for wear resistance while softer rubber on the outer lugs holds traction on loose ground. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I crossed a shin-deep creek on a scouting hike and my feet stayed dry all the way to camp, seams and all. The outer lugs held on wet granite scree where a smoother sole would have slid, so I could watch the trail instead of my footing."
