When the exploring
spirit bring you trough brush and forest and over
talus, scree and snow, ankle support and protection
become the key features to look for. Backpacking
boots offer superior waterproofing and durability,
thanks to their minimal seams and thicker stiffer
construction. Beck backpacking boots provide lateral
protection under heavy packs, offer excellent control
but may be overrated for trail walking. Innovative
sole construction makes these boots surprisingly
lightweight.
