A lightweight backpacking boot with an incredible Italian fit and women's-specific last, the La Sportiva Thunder GTX is waterproof, supportive and rugged with a Vibram outsole to boot. Slip it on and feel the support over the top of your foot and in the heel. Enjoy the lightweight running shoe feel of the Trailon midsole suspension and the awesome traction of the Vibram outsole. The ultralight backpacking movement has spawned a legion of lightweight backpacking boots designed to support moderate loads while being supple enough to sprint down the trail. The Thunder GTX is at the top of the heap in this class. A Nubuck leather upper ensures durability and classic good looks, while the insole's half steel shank protects tender feet from trail obstacles. A Gore-Tex lining ensures bomber waterproofing for those unexpected stream crossings. La Sportiva details like a rubber toe rand and molded heel reinforcement make this fast and light boot stand out in a crowd.

The Vasque Breeze Women's Hiking Boot is a lightweight and stable boot designed specifically for backpacking with light loads or long distance fast hiking. The last thing you need on a 30-mile day is a heavy pair of boots weighing you down. So Vasque combined technology found in the breathable uppers of their trail running shoes with a stable hiking boot mid- and outsole to create a sure winner on the trail. Supporting the Breeze from below is Vasque's proprietary Vibram outsole, featuring aggressive lugs and a super stable heel and toe-off pattern. A nylon plate separates the outsole from the EVA midsole, and is clearly visible through gaps in the Vibram rubber. This plate has incredible forward flex combined with torsional rigidityletting your foot flow forward on the trail without being deflected by rocks and irregularities. Further, Vasque's high-quality DryTech footbed, with full arch support, rests directly on the midsole EVA for instant comfort and zero break-in period.

Looking for an instantly comfortable shoe you don't have to break in? The Salomon Exclaim is it. This low-cut, light hiker handles moderate to rugged terrain with ease, keeping your foot happy on the trail or in the city with performance and style. Versatile and good looking, the Exclaim is Salomon's #1 selling shoe. Split suede & nubuck leather encase mesh vents on the sides of the shoe for excellent breathability. Salomon's Contagrip sole gives excellent traction, and a rubber toe & heel wrap extra protection for those who really get after it in the backcountry.

The Salomon Women's Expert Low GTX is a low-cut light hiker that provides protection and support to tackle terrain from the street to the trail. The Gore-Tex lining is breathable and waterproof enough to keep your feet dry in puddles, but the low cut means you'll need to steer clear of anything more than ankle-deep. The stiff chassis is designed to offer excellent push through protection, torsional rigidity, and forefoot flex while reducing the overall weight of the shoe. What that all amounts to is more energy, more control, and more comfort for your feet, whether you're slogging around town in the rainy Northwest or tackling a quick day hike. Clothed in a combination of full grain nubuck, split suede leather, and breathable air mesh, the Expert Low GTX is both supple and supportive. A protective rubber toe and heel wrap helps keep painful toe-stubs to a minimum. Salomon's one pull lacing system makes taking these shoes off and on as easy as an oversized, unlaced skateboard shoe.
