Ridge Court Trainer

mens hiking sneakers for day trails and city days that turn into them: a low-cut textile upper, a padded collar and a lugged outsole that bites on gravel, with a lace run that reaches the toe so the midfoot locks instead of sliding.

mens hiking sneakers, built for the first two kilometres

The upper is a woven textile over a soft lining, cut low so the ankle moves freely; the tongue is padded and gusseted enough to keep grit out on a dry trail. The lace loops run close to the toe, which is what stops the foot travelling forward on a descent.

Lugged outsole, quick-flex forefoot

The outsole is moulded rubber with 3-4 mm lugs, deep enough to find gravel and shallow enough to walk normally on pavement. The forefoot bends where the foot bends. No waterproof membrane is claimed — the textile upper is a warm-weather upper.

Three colourways, sized EU 39 to EU 44

Dark brown, tan and black, each with an approved 45-degree pair image of its own colour, and the dark brown pair carries side, top, sole and toe views. Sizing runs EU 39 to EU 44 from the shop-wide chart, still awaiting a supplier re-check.

Frequently asked

Are these mens hiking sneakers waterproof? No. The upper is woven textile with no membrane, so it breathes and it does not seal out water.

Can I wear them on the road as well as the trail? That is what the shallow lug pattern is for; they walk normally on pavement.

Will they help ankle or knee pain? We do not treat shoes as medicine; for a diagnosed condition ask your clinician.

Which size should I order? Order the EU size you normally wear. The chart on this listing is marked unverified until the supplier confirms it.

Do they come in a wide width? The last is standard, and we have not measured a millimetre width for this model, so we do not quote a width letter.
