"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® 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."""
