Four categories of shoes & boots

HIKING BOOTS – Sturdy boots for multi-day hikes with heavy packs on uneven terrain. HIKING SHOES – Low shoes with a flexible midsole suitable for warmer climates, day trips and everyday life. DAY TRIP BOOTS – Good for day trips with, for example, a mountain station as a starting point. They’re agile but lack the support needed for more challenging terrain. SHELL BOOTS – The shell boot, like a shell jacket, consists of just a protective exterior. Inside, you can easily adapt them to different temperatures and activities via your choice of socks and insoles.
