BOA Closure Hiking

Is the reason you stopped hiking the re-tying, not the hill?

Laces come undone at stream crossings, in the cold, with gloves on. These swap the bow for a BOA dial: one hand, one twist, even pressure — over a full-grain leather upper and a hex-lug sole that holds wet rock.

What they’re built around

• DialIn™ BOA® closure — a micro-adjust dial you can tighten or loosen in seconds, even with gloves on; no loose lace ends anywhere.
• EvenHold™ wrap — dial tension spreads across the midfoot instead of point-pressing where laces cross.
• GrainShell™ upper — full-grain leather takes the trail’s knocks and keeps its shape season after season.
• HexGrip™ outsole — a rubber sole lugged in hexagons for wet pavement and rocky trail alike.
• PlushMid™ cushioning — a thick midsole absorbs the descent so knees and heels do not have to.
• AirMesh™ lining — a breathable mesh lining keeps feet fresh on long days out.
• SecureCradle™ fit — the heel and midfoot are held firmly so the shoe moves with you on side slopes.
• ThreeTone™ range — black for city-to-trail neutrality, khaki and light khaki for drier palettes.

Who people reach for them

These are the pair people reach for when fingers or wrists get in the way of laces — commonly chosen by walkers living with arthritis or reduced grip strength, and by people with plantar fasciitis or heel pain who want one consistent dialled-in hold all day. They are hiking sneakers described by their closure and construction; this is not a medical device, and no condition is treated or prevented.
