At 12 ounces, the Women's Rush Mid 2 GTX Boots are the lightest mid-cuff boots that SCARPA makes for light hiking. They blend trail running performance with the solid support and stability that hikers look for out of a mid-cuff boot. They grant the freedom to move as fast as you want when the going is easy, and the supportive stability lends a helping hand when the trail turns technical. Underfoot, shock-absorbing units placed in key areas inside the 2D EVA midsole help keep you on your feet through the long miles. The Presa soles have an impressive grip thanks to the softer Super Gum rubber. SCARPA made the upper with partially-recycled materials for an environmentally thoughtful design. Mostly mesh, the upper provides plenty of ventilation, and laminated microfiber ensures sturdy durability.
