What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“I’ve used these for long approaches and mixed terrain days, and they really do a bit of everything well. They’re light enough to move quickly on trail but still have the grip and support for scrambling. The mid height adds confidence with a pack, and the waterproofing holds up in wet conditions.”Some routes don’t follow a single path. The Rapid Mid GTX Hiking Shoe is built for days that move between trail, rock, and everything in between—where speed, support, and grip all matter. Blurring the lines between a trail runner, hiking shoe, and approach shoe, this versatile design features a sock-fit construction that wraps the foot for a precise, comfortable feel. The mid-cut height adds ankle support for longer days and heavier loads, while still maintaining the agility needed for fast-moving terrain. A GORE-TEX lining keeps feet dry through wet trails and changing conditions, while the Vibram® Megagrip outsole provides confident traction on loose dirt, rock, and slab. With added protection and propulsion from the Dynamic Protection System, the Rapid Mid GTX Shoe is built to keep moving when the terrain gets unpredictable.
