BOREAL Futura Hiking Shoes

The upper of Futura is made from a unique high-tech three layer laminate material with a Sympatex® waterproof breathable membrane and a hydrophobic mesh lining. An injected TPU lattice provides great protection to the upper with minimum weight and an injected rubber toe cap adds useful protection. The very low number of seams and soft nylon tape lace loops gives Futura an outstanding sock like fit, and the breathability of the upper to moisture vapour far exceeds the performance of traditional waterproof designs. Futura is fully board lasted with a full length midsole, just like a hiking boot and so offers excellent underfoot support on rough ground. The midsole has a soft polyamide monofilament top-layer surface which not only adds extra underfoot cushioning but also improves the transport of moisture away from the underside of the foot. The lightweight Vibram® Borealis sole unit combines superb shock absorption with an aggressive tread pattern for great traction on both hard and soft surfaces and features an integrated injection molded piece in TPU which improves torsional stability.
