Multi density midsole compounds balance softness and responsiveness

The Hedgehogs are our classic, tried and tested hiking boots built for versatility and comfort. For this new iteration, we've harnessed breathable FUTURELIGHT technology for the membrane. The soles are zonally fine-tuned with CRADLE, the toe area gives added stiffness over technical rock, and the heel shape is optimised for comfort. The Ortholite insoles maintain their cushioning power over the long term and the durable Vibram XS Trek outer soles deliver the optimal balance of traction and durability without adding unnecessary weight or bulk.
