The Hedgehogs are our classic, tried and tested hiking boots built for versatility and comfort. For this new iteration, we've harnessed a waterproof, highly durable GORE-TEX® bootie that stops rain and water from muddy puddles in its tracks. They have a supportive midfoot shank; the toe area gives added stiffness over technical rock, and the heel shape is optimised for comfort. The Vibram® XS Trek outer soles deliver the optimal balance of high traction and durability without adding unnecessary weight or bulk.
