Musta Hiker is a lightweight 12.7 cm (5-inch) wading boot with a nylon upper reinforced with TPU.
\nTPU printing in specific areas provides great abrasion resistance without making the boot too bulky or heavy.
\nIt\u2019s easy to slip on and adjust.
\nFor extra durability, the stitch lines are protected by grooves, and the EVA midsole and the front bumper of the Michelin sole are stitched to the upper.
\nDesigned with hiking in mind, it delivers a comfortable fit and solid support for long walks\u2014ideal if you like hiking to your fishing spots.
\nThe low ankle with a comfortable yet supportive foam collar gives you more freedom of movement than taller wading boots.<\/p>\n
The Michelin sole, designed in collaboration with the renowned tire manufacturer Michelin, offers many advantages over other rubber soles.
\nThe front bumper is integrated into the outsole, eliminating any risk of separation.
\nThe tread pattern is inspired by the Michelin LTX A\/S tire, with specific modifications for wading.
\nThe side lugs feature aggressive tread for extra grip on slopes and muddy trails.
\nThe center lugs have wave grooves to adapt to uneven rock surfaces.
\nThe front and rear tread blocks are designed to resist wear from long walks, and their pattern boosts traction when needed.
\nFor extremely slippery and muddy conditions, we created recessed slots for tungsten carbide studs that can be added if needed.<\/p>\n
The rubber compound itself is a blend of off-road tire and Scandinavian winter tire compounds.
\nLike studless winter tires on snow, these soles deliver excellent grip on rocks.
\nThe more pressure you put on the sole, the more it grips the rock surface, as the soft compound with lugs conforms to uneven terrain.
\nBesides better traction, the boot also gives you a better feel while wading.
\nThe soft, highly adaptable outsole, combined with a flexible EVA midsole, lets you feel what\u2019s underfoot while still providing enough support even in tough conditions.
\nBuilt for long walks, it stays comfortable and offers good torsional stiffness.<\/p>\n
