Vasque Velocity 2.0, $150
The Veolocity 2.0 marries the toughness of a hiking shoe with the comfort of a running shoe. Gore-Tex technology makes it possible for the Velocity 2.0 to keep your feet dry while retaining breathability. It weighs in at close to 15 ounces for men and just over 12 ounces for women. A sturdy TPU plate protects your foot from rocks and other debris underfoot and a lugged outsole provides plenty of traction over tricky terrain. A durable synthetic upper provides protection and breathability while Vasque's Arc Tempo last delivers an athletic fit that promotes agility and responsiveness on technical trails. www.vasque.com
