The men’s MQM FLEX GTX Hiking Shoe is a real hybrid, with running-shoe technology in a hiking-shoe profile for speed on the trails. The Gore-Tex waterproof membrane is bonded to make a near-invisible feel. A heel counter and flexible foam midsole provide comfort, stability and agility. The air-cushioned heel absorbs shock, while a grippy outsole with mid-sized lugs provides traction where and when needed.
