Alpina

Speed 2.0 Hiking Shoe - Women's

Watching gray jays gather seeds near the trail is nice every now and then, but when you're trying to beat your PR to the summit, you won't want to waste time bird-watching. With a design more acclimated to moving fast up steep mountain trails than popping a squat on a log, Alpina's Speed 2.0 Women's Hiking Shoe will keep you moving up and down the mountain quickly and efficiently thanks to lightweight and breathable materials.

The breathable synthetic upper works with the moisture-wicking Ultra Dry lining to keep your foot happy, even when the trail's hot and dusty. And since untied shoe laces will only slow you down, Alpina threw in a quick-to-secure bungee lacing system that won't work loosen up on you. Solid traction is the best defense against taking a fall, which is why the Speed is built on an aggressive Vibram sole, so you can really dig in when the trail turns steep and the dirt is loose.
