Mens Water Resistant Trail Running Shoe By OBOZ CTW009

Engineered for eco-conscious adventurers seeking durable comfort on rugged trails, the Cottonwoods hiking boots combine anatomical precision with planet-friendly innovation. Our gender-specific lasts contour to male/female foot shapes differently – men’s versions accommodate broader forefoots while women’s designs feature narrower heels and elevated arch support – ensuring true-to-size accuracy from heel to toe.

Crafted with 100% recycled upper materials including post-consumer plastic bottles transformed into abrasasion-resistant mesh panels, these boots feature a bio-based sugarcane EVA midsole that reduces carbon footprint by 40% compared to traditional foam. The LWG Gold Leather-certified nubuck upper undergoes chrome-free tanning while maintaining exceptional water resistance through our PFAS-free DWR treatment.

Key performance features:
– Adaptive volume control for medium-high arches (standard width: Men’s C heel/D forefoot per Brannock)
– 8mm heel drop optimized for balanced energy return
– 422g featherlight construction without compromising durability
– Roomy anatomical toe box preventing black toenails on descents

Ideal for thru-hikers prioritizing sustainability without sacrificing performance, every component from recycled laces to bio-degradable midsole foams aligns with circular economy principles. The moisture-wicking lining paired with ventilated mesh panels maintains foot temperature regulation during 8+ hour treks.

Note: We recommend visiting our fit guide or local retailer to test volume-specific sizing variations across different terrain conditions.
