Redesigned lug shape and positioning on a Vibram Megagrip with Litebase outsole provide better traction, while a dynamic vamp allows feet to splay as the miles fly by. Topping it off, a knit collar extends up from the tongue like a gaiter to mitigate trail debris, and a lightweight Matryx textile upper makes this version more durable and trail-worthy than ever.
