Whereas the all-leather-based higher of the Bridger provides a nod to traditional hikers of yore, theres nothing previous-customary about these stats: a pliable, further comfy collar; a light-weight TPU forefoot plate that preserves the sneakers integrity; BDry waterproofing; steel {hardware} and a light-weight, aggressive outsole. In contrast to the waffle stompers of our youth, the Bridgers leather-based goodness comes with virtually no break-in time.
