If you are the kind of hiker who likes speeding through groomed trails on most days, you are this boot’s target audience. That said, the Predict Hike Mid GTX is also a great buy for:
- Trail-goers who have low insteps.
- Hikers who need a combination of ankle support and mobility. This is made possible by the boot’s semi-rigid yet flexible ankle cuff.
- Hard striders. The Predict Hike Mid GTX’s stout heel provides extra shock absorption, making haphazard landings safer.
- Adventurers who require enhanced rearfoot stability. Footing balance is yours in this footgear, thanks to its surface-conforming sole unit.
