Ecco Exohike Low GORE-TEX Walking Boots

Well-adapted to tough conditions, this rugged boot is ideal for those with an active lifestyle that demands durability, comfort and toughness.

Perforations within the leather increase ventilation ensuring your feet can breathe easy as you power through on hot and humid days. A prosoma TPU heel counter ensures structured support that still allows for plenty of ankle expansion. Promoting a natural fit, the counter promotes optimal movement of the Achilles while still providing ample support. The heel counter helps to stabilize the ankle and reduce excess movement from in the boot reducing the risks of repetitive injury.

Sparing your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces, the midsole ensures you can go further for longer. By inundating shocks, phorene works to protect you when striking down and also disperses the shocks to propel you forward. Phorene also provides ample cushioning to ensure a comfortable hike, the midsole follows the natural contors of the foot provide a dynamic fit and feel. Completing the midsole is a removable insole that not only provides added underfoot cushioning but also works to wick sweat away from the skin. The insole uses moisture management to wick sweat to keep you dry when temperatures begin to rise.

Michelin Rubber Outsole

The Michelin rubber outsole is specifically designed to provide traction and grip on uneven surfaces so you can continue with complete confidence. The durable rubber provides a strong grip on the most challenging terrain; it works to protect itself from damage, and protect users from losing control and slipping. It is also highly durable meaning no matter what you throw at it, the ExoHike will perform time and time again. The outsole also features a unique tread pattern which ensures excellent traction and stability; the pattern works with the rubber grip grid in the midfoot to ensure confident footing on uneven terrain.

About Ecco

Karl Toosbury- the founder of ECCO- had a vision. He wanted to own a shoe factory and run his own business. Trained from an early age as a shoemaker, he gradually rose through the ranks. By his early thirties he was managing a shoe factory in Copenhagen. The business however, was not his.

The family decided to give up the security of a regular job, sold their home and moved to Bredebro in the west of Denmark. Karl then took over a empty factory, and sent out an ad asking "Who wants us?"
