Salewa Pedroc 2 Shoe - Women

Hiking boots are durable but not very breathable or versatile for runners, and trail shoes don't always offer stellar protection that matches the ruggedness of their grip. Fortunately, the Pedroc 2 exists as the best of both worlds. The abrasion-resistant upper features a knit Jacqard mesh to keep your stinky toesies well ventilated. A steep 10mm drop, coupled with aggressive tread and 4mm lugs, helps focus this shoe's performance on vertical advantage, even in loose gravel, while the midsole has a dense EVA plate to emphasize stability and provide punch to your running strides. Compared to other thru-hiking shoes that often have to choose between stiffer materials for higher durability and softer rubber for better grip, the Pomoca Speed Hiker 2 rubber sole is a Goldilocks material - not too stiff, not too soft, just right! Within the midsole, a high-rebound EVA foam offers energy return and prioritizes protection. It's complemented by trail-feel in the forefoot while cutting off weight that hiking boots can't match. If you're reaching for your approach shoes for the alpine routes, or your hiking boots for slot canyons, consider hitting two objectives with one shoe - the Pedroc 2!
