Why Hikers & Trail Runners Trust FLITE XT®
– 360° Ankle Stability: AnkleLock™ Technology mimics natural ankle movement while providing rigid lateral support during downhill descents or sudden pivots on loose gravel
– Slip-Resistant Zones: Dual-density GripDry™ padding (heel/forefoot) creates friction anchors that prevent foot migration inside shoes during 8+ hour treks
– Climate-Adaptive Layering: 23% superfine Merino wool regulates temperature without itchiness while Olefin core fibers evaporate sweat 3x faster than cotton blends
