The Altiridge Mid R-Shell Dry is designed for hikers who move fluidly between trail types without changing footwear. It carries the quick, responsive feel of a trail runner but reinforces it with the structure and protection needed for uneven, technical ground. The mid-height build adds stability at the ankle while maintaining freedom of movement over long miles.
Weather protection is handled by the R-Shell Dry membrane, which creates a breathable barrier against rain, mud, and lingering trail moisture. Even as conditions shift, internal airflow helps regulate temperature, preventing that heavy, damp feeling that can slow you down over time.
Underfoot, a stabilized cushioning system absorbs repeated impact while maintaining a grounded, confident ride. A protective insert deflects sharp rocks and trail debris, allowing you to step decisively without hesitation. The platform is tuned for balance—soft enough for comfort, firm enough for control.
Traction comes from the Duragrip Wet outsole, engineered to maintain grip across slick surfaces, loose terrain, and hardpack alike. Paired with a lightweight, recycled-material upper that conforms securely to the foot, the Altiridge Mid is built for hikers who value efficiency, protection, and adaptability in equal measure.
