Scree Runner Boot
Full-grain leather, gasket-sealed, broken in by kilometre five.
Rated 4.6 out of 5 stars. 4.6 118 field notes
$239 CAD
The Scree Runner splits the difference the industry pretends doesn't exist: trail-runner comfort out of the box, boot-grade support when the trail turns to talus. A nylon shank under the midfoot takes the sting out of sharp rock; the moulded heel cup ends heel-lift blisters before they start.
Full-grain leather uppers are sealed with a waterproof-breathable bootie, and the outsole runs 5 mm multidirectional lugs with a dedicated braking zone at the heel — the part you notice on the descent, which is where hikes are actually hard.
Built for: Day hiking, Backpacking

“Zero break-in blisters on a 47 km coastal slog. Mud, roots, tide-line boulders — grip never quit.”
Marcus J. · Juan de Fuca Trail, BC

Rated 4 out of 5 stars.
“Confidence-inspiring on scree, true to size. They run warm on +30 °C valley approaches; that's the leather trade-off.”

Rated 5 out of 5 stars.
“Five days of bog and boulder fields. Feet dry the whole way. The heel braking zone saved my knees on the descent to Western Brook.”
