Dependable, well-made shoes or boots are essential if you want to enjoy the outdoors safely and comfortably. However, it can be surprisingly tricky to find the perfect pair. Now outdoor brand INOV8 has the answer.

Its new waterproof Roclite Mid GTX walking boots and Roclite GTX shoes are based on a classic design much loved by walkers for 18 years, but with next-generation updates for the ultimate grip, comfort, performance and protection. Originally part of INOV8’s pioneering Fast & Lite range, the Roclite was launched when most boots were traditional, heavy and leather. The updated designs are proof that outdoor footwear needn’t be clunky or outdoors cumbersome, with a freeing lightweight feel and groundbreaking natural fit. Ideal for all your walking adventures, Roclite’s upgraded features include:

• Mountain goat grip: The Roclite’s outsole imitates the cloven hooves of the mountain goat, with 6mm rubber lugs to grip all surfaces, including mud and wet rock.
• Natural fit:  The anatomical design hugs your foot’s contours, locking in at the heel and widening at the toes for better comfort.
• Added support:  A protective rock plate moves naturally with the shoe and terrain, while the Met-Cradle tightens with pulled laces to support feet over uneven terrain.
• Ultra-comfort: A super-light foam midsole and springy footbed offer superior cushioning but still allow crucial ground- feel for balance and sure-footedness.
• Stay-dry design: The Gore-Tex membrane bonded to air mesh fabric keeps feet dry while also allowing sweat to escape.

 

Both the shoes (average weight of 365g) and slightly heavier boots (average weight of 425g) feature the same outsole, midsole and upper, with wider fit options available.
