There’s a time and a place for your burliest backpacking boots, but it’s not when you’re trying to move quickly in the mountains. At just about two pounds per pair, SCARPA made the Men’s Maverick Mid GTX Hiking Boots specifically for those adventures when weight–and speed–are a critical consideration. You won’t be giving up support, though, thanks to the stabilizing frame and cushy midsole. SCARPA’s Crossover outsole adds confidence on varying terrain, and the GORE-TEX waterproofing guarantees dry feet when the trails get mushy.
