A multi-sport shoe for the woman who does a little bit of everything the Vasque Mantra Hiking Shoe serves up comfort whether test-driving a new mountain bike hopping boulders along a river bank or setting out on a long day hike. A large portion of the upper consists of a thick 1.8mm water resistant nubuck leather which looks great but is also durable and protective. Panels of breathable airmesh compliment the leather providing comfort during warm weather and extended outings. The Vasque Women's Mantra Hiking Shoe is equally comfortable underneath the foot as it is on top. A molded EVA midsole and dual density EVA footbed provide cushioning while a molded thermoplastic urethane plate offers support and stability to easy the strain of uneven terrain and encourage healthy biomechanics. All of this protection and support isn't much good without an outsole that grips on varied surfaces. That's why Vasque called on Vibram® the renowned leader in hiking boot outsole design when selecting a tread for the Mantra Hiking Shoe. Known as the Ananasi outsole this sophisticated Vibram® tread grips challenging terrain even when moving at a fast pace.
