STACK Approved: Rockport Range Trail Boot
As the winter months approach, you can count on STACK to feature several top picks in boots and evaluate their overall performance. To get the reviews underway, let’s start with a good-looking hiking boot from Rockport called the Range Trail.
Although cost is a bit steep at $180, the boot has plenty of technology built in that helps justify the price. For instance, its footbed incorporates EVA with adidas adiPRENE, a shock-absorbent cushion that protects the heel at impact, as well as a resilient and flexible forefoot cushion that provides a responsive, dynamic push-off. The EVA midsole delivers lightweight shock absorption to help reduce foot and leg fatigue.
When searching for a winter boot, one of our top priorities is finding a style that keeps our feet dry. The Range Trail does exactly that with a Gore-Tex waterproof membrane layer. Also, the waterproof leather and mesh make a stylish combination and are easy to maintain—hopefully for an extended product life.
Comfort is also high on our list, and the Range Trail is a cozy, lightweight boot that offers ankle stability supported by soft cushioning. Also, the external heel counter provides durable medial/lateral heel stability, preventing excessive rearfoot motion when walking across a rocky hillside.
The Range Trail shows plenty of versatility with its rubber sole, which performs extremely well on a variety of surfaces.
Need a bonus? Reflective details are placed on the back heel, making the Range Trail a great boot for nighttime walking.
The Rockport Range Trail comes in two colorways, vincuna (tan) and black, and can be purchased at rockport.com.
