Men's Hiking Shoes – Breathable Mesh Trail Shoes with Quick Lace

Light on Your Feet. Grip Underfoot. Laced in a Second.

Hiking boots are great in July. In January they are two hot boxes on the ends of your legs. Your socks are wet before the first creek, your feet swell in the heat, and every kilometre of a coastal track feels like three.

So you wear runners instead, and the first loose gravel descent or wet rock platform shows you why that is a bad idea. Smooth soles slide, mesh tears on the first snag, and the laces come undone at the worst possible moment.

These shoes sit in the gap: light and airy like a runner, with a sole and an upper that are built for the track.

Here's How It Works

The upper is an open honeycomb mesh held in shape by a frame of synthetic overlays. The mesh lets heat and sweat out through the whole side of the shoe, while the overlays wrap the midfoot and stop the foot rolling around inside on a sideways slope. A suede-look panel covers the toe and the heel, where a shoe takes most of its knocks.

Underneath is a rubber outsole with deep, multi-directional lugs that run right around the edge and climb up over the front of the toe. That is the part that bites on loose gravel, dirt paths and roots, and the wrap-up toe takes the hit when you kick a rock.

Between the two sits a cushioned EVA midsole that takes the sting out of hard-packed fire trails and long downhill sections, without the weight of a full boot.

Lacing is a bungee cord with a toggle. Pull it tight and the cord lock holds, push the toggle to loosen it. No knots to come undone on the track and no bending down at the car park with muddy hands. Pull loops on the tongue and the heel get them on fast at the trailhead.

The Gear It Replaces

• Hiking boots in summer — heavy, hot and soaked socks by lunchtime
• Road runners on the track — smooth soles that slip on gravel and wet rock
• Canvas sneakers — no grip, no protection and no airflow
• Tie-up laces — undone on the track and a hassle with muddy hands

What's In It

• Honeycomb mesh upper — airflow through the whole side of the shoe
• Synthetic overlay frame — holds the midfoot and keeps the shape
• Suede-look toe and heel panels — extra cover where the knocks land
• Lugged rubber outsole — multi-directional grip on gravel, dirt and roots
• Wrap-up rubber toe — takes the hit when you kick a rock
• Cushioned EVA midsole — softer landings on hard fire trails
• Bungee quick lace with toggle — one pull to tighten, one push to release
• Padded collar and pull loops — comfortable around the ankle and quick to get on

Sizes on this page are Australian men's. Australian men's sizing follows UK sizing, so an AU 8 is a US men's 9 and an EU 42. If you are between sizes, take the larger one: the bungee lace takes up any extra room.
