The Men's HKG Core Mid STX take the term "hiking shoes" to a new level. The shoes have a sophisticated construction with a sturdy, durable leather upper, a smooth lacing system and an EVA midsole for maximum comfort. Rubber outsoles provide reliable traction on all surfaces and the stable midsole construction reliably protects your feet from impacts. A combination of modern design and waterproof Sympatex® membrane results in a timelessly beautiful hiking shoe that looks as good on a after-work hike in the mountains as it does on a hut-to-hut alpine trek. The 360° all-round protection made of leather guarantees that your toes and heels will always be well guarded. The high-quality leather in Terracare® quality comes from Germany and is meets the highest environmental standards. The VAUDE Green Shape label stands for environmentally-friendly, functional products made from sustainable materials.
