Garmont Amica Leather

[heavy-duty support]

If you need an ATV of a boot that’s supportive enough for big-load backpacking or mountaineering, the Croda (Syncro is the women’s) is your ride. “When I hiked the North Fork Quinault River Trail in Washington, the Croda bulldozed through river crossings, branches, mud, and snow,” says one tester. The cut is the highest in the test, and the midsole is rigid and thick. Break-in required. $215; 3 lbs. 3 oz.; 8-14; Syncro GTX: $235; 2 lbs. 9 oz. (7); 6-11; garmontusa.com

A lightweight leather shoe perfect for everday outings and life’s extraordinary adventures. A soft midsole with a low profile design positions the user’s weight close to the ground for unmatched agility and traction. This comfortable urban shoe offers styling for the trails of life.
