The Explore Addict carries you through the entire day. Summit climb, forest path, or that spontaneous detour to the viewpoint – you keep going while others are already taking a break.
The waterproof Sympatex® membrane keeps your feet dry without overheating. The water-repellent ripstop upper protects against abrasion and moisture, while the Vibram® Megagrip outsole with Traction Lug profile grips every surface – wet, dry, rocky, muddy.
The wide toe box gives your Toes the space they need – for natural stability with every step. And because the Explore Addict is so light and versatile, it stays with you after the hike: to the café, through the city, wherever the day takes you next.
