Why We Like The Spire GTX Hiking Shoe

The Spire GTX Hiking Shoe from La Sportiva is our top choice for rugged peak-bagging day hikes and fast-moving backpacking trips. What sets this hiking shoe apart is its innovative Gore-Tex Surround technology, providing superior waterproof protection in both the lining and upper. But that's not all – it also offers effective drainage for multi-dimensional dryness on the trail, eliminating the issue of trapped water inside the shoe.

This shoe features a clever design that incorporates aeration channels within the footbed and midsole, along with drainage ports at the bottom. This ensures that even when faced with creek crossings or unexpected mishaps, our feet stay dry and comfortable. No more soggy shoes after a wet adventure!
