I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

St Elias FG GTX Hiking Boot - Women's

Description

Why We Like The Vasque St Elias FG GTX Hiking Boot

Instead of purchasing additional moleskin patches for your hike on the PCT, opt for a boot that offers out-of-the-box comfort like the Vasque St Elias FG GTX Hiking Boot. Whether you're traversing a moss-covered forest or the arid terrain of the Anza Borrego Desert, this boot provides All-Terrain Compound in the midsole which delivers exceptional comfort with its foam pods and synthetic shank – enabling you to go from a 15-mile day to a 20-mile day. Even if it starts raining on your 18th mile, the GORE-TEX membrane ensures your feet remain dry. Furthermore, if you encounter any shallow water while puddle jumping or crossing early-summer melting snow, the over-the-ankle cuff will offer the necessary protection.

Details:

  • A rugged hiking boot ideal for high-mileage days with a heavy pack
  • GORE-TEX membrane effectively seals the boot against water and expels condensation
  • All-Terrain Compound midsole delivers long-term comfort, even on multi-mile days
  • Rubber toe cap shields the foot from scree and other trail hazards
  • Vibram outsole ensures sure-footed traction on various terrains
  • Supple leather upper flexes easily for immediate wear out of the box
