Perhaps the best all-around mountain shoe we've ever made, the Rapid lives at the junction of trail running and approach. This hybrid shoe is equally adept at ticking off trail miles, boulder hopping and scrambling moderate slabs. The all-synthetic upper is lightweight and highly breathable thanks to plenty of mesh, but reinforced in critical areas with welded PU to provide support and durability. Our Sock-Fit LW construction snugly wraps the midfoot for a precise fit with reduced bulk. The dual-density EVA midsole delivers a ride more akin to a trail running shoe, but we have added a TPU arch insert for torsion control, and our Dynamic Protection System insert in the forefoot for increased protection, propulsion and edging capability. The Vibram® outsole features high-friction Megagrip rubber, and an edging zone under the big toe for unbeatable friction and traction. The Rapid is the perfect choice for moving fast over mixed mountain terrain, adept at handling all conditions from groomed single track to endless talus fields to slabby scrambles.

  • Mesh & PU Upper: Breathable mesh with overlays of thermally welded PU film for additional protection, support and abrasion resistance.
  • SOCK-FIT LW: Stretch fabric incorporated with a minimal stretch tongue provides gentle wrapping and support, reducing bulk and enhancing fit.
  • Dynamic Protection System (DPS): DPS insert in ESS adds protection, propulsion and edging capability.
  • Midsole: Dual-density compression molded EVA with a TPU arch insert for torsion control.
  • Outsole: Vibram® outsole with Megagrip rubber compound and medial forefoot edging zone for increased traction and friction.

    Great value

    I usually wear US 10 regular. The 43.5 fit excellent. They do take a week or so to break in because they are a supportive build. Once they break in I felt they were very comfortable and sturdy.

    The Perfect Hybrid

    In general, I prefer a trail running shoes over approach shoes because they're more comfortable for hiking, so this trail runner/approach shoe hybrid is absolutely perfect - and it even climbs pretty well, too! Very happy with this shoe, especially for multi-pitch routes

    Excellent

    These hike better than any other approach shoe I've used. The rubber is surprisingly sticky. I like how the outsole wraps up the front of the toe. The toebox was a little narrow for me, but this did help them climb better.

    Grippy and Lightweight Shoes for Hiking and Biking

    I'm impressed with these shoes! They offer excellent grip and are lightweight, making them perfect for hiking on both rocky terrain and pavement. Additionally, they've become my go-to biking shoes, providing excellent grip on the pedals.
