Meindl Kansas GTX Men's Trekking Shoes - Old Loden - Size 43

On rocky, root-covered trails, the Meindl Kansas GTX keeps your footing secure and your feet dry. This mid-cut trekking shoe is built for light to moderate hikes, combining a durable nubuck leather upper in classic old loden green with a GORE-TEX® Extended Comfort lining that blocks water while letting feet breathe. The Digafix® lacing system locks the heel in place, and the AIR-ACTIVE® footbed wicks moisture to reduce fatigue over long distances. A Meindl Multigrip® rubber sole with EVA midsole delivers reliable traction and cushioning on uneven ground.
