The great outdoors needs great footwear. Engineered for trail/cross-country walking (with sport-utility looks suited to city streets too), our Neo-D-Hyker has been reworked for a cleaner aesthetic and enhanced performance in extreme conditions. The fully waterproof build keeps you dry in heavy rain/wet snow. With 3M™ Thinsulate™ insulation so feet stay warm when it's sub-zero and debuting our grippiest ever outsoles for safer walking on rough, steep or wintry surfaces. Wraparound rubber mudguards and bellows tongues (designed to stop water/debris entering) add extra protection. Here in non-wicking recycled endurance fabric and water-repellant suede, these combine sneaker-like lightness, flexibility, comfort, with the stability and security of trail shoes. Adjustable padded uppers and anatomically contoured footbeds provide support over long distances. On our Neodynamic™ midsole: high-rebound, impact-reducing cushioning, featuring a springy central carbon plate that propels you forward and smooths out movement heel to toe. Wear for rural strolls, urban exploring, forest hikes, hill walks, winter treks, off-trail expeditions... (This boot version gives added ankle support/protection.) Performance features include: Waterproof 'bootie' construction using breathable sealed inner membrane Inner lining of 3M Thinsulate 400g thermo-regulating insulation keeps feet warm at sub-zero temps Highest grip-level outsole with chunky tread pattern & deep lugs (suited to extreme terrain) Metal-fiber compound on some lugs to increase traction on cold surfaces Sizing note: These Neo-D-Hyker boots fit slightly small due to the padded insulation, so we recommend that you buy them a size larger than you would normally buy. As part of our e01 project to create more sustainable footwear, this version, while not 100% sustainable, features a percentage of recycled/reprocessed/natural materials: Endurance fabric (on upper), pull tab webbing, laces & footbed lining – 100% recycled PET polyester from plastic bottle waste Eyelets – 100% recycled metal Main lining (Lycra) – 85% recycled PET polyester Midsole – 10% tea stalks Outsole – 10% reprocessed white rubber speckles All from suppliers certified by the GRS (Global Recycle Standard)
